    Good for you sticking to your guns, I also have a big brother who's not great with his money, still paying off student debts 10? years after leaving uni :eek:

    Don't worry about the grades, you'll be great :)

    Ps. Real investment amounts in sig - woo! You'll get a nice little shot in the arm for those tomorrow morning as well...

    Ouch. I'm assuming those are the expensive old-style ones? The new cheap ones I have no intention of overpaying :D

    There's only one I'm worried about, I have never in my life had that situation where I just didn't have anything to write... Oh well. But thanks for the vote of confidence :)

    Unfortunately I miscalculated, it shows you your 'total pot' plus cash available to invest, I added them together but 'total pot' includes the cash already, doh! :doh:
    And you've lost me. 'Shot in the arm'?

    Short term boost as gamblers pile in because they want the ECB to print some magic money :rotfl:

    More capitalist scum I see :rotfl:.

    Good luck to morrow Cal :T:T:T.

    And you're right about the 'no' :).
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Well our mortgage journey is now nearing its end and will be finished on the 19 January 2015. We have looked at the rate we are paying and our saving rate and may have been worth keep the mortgage going. However it will be a really nice feeling knowing we will no longer need to refer to the building society for making any changes etc.

    Congrats! Hoping to see the day relatively soon myself :)

    Got grades back, 93%, 94% and 80%. :silenced:

    80% one was one I was worried about, and had mathematically worked out my maximum was going to be 65%. Don't know what went on there. No complaints!
    Although I am disappointed in 94% 'cause I thought I'd done better, assignment was 100% so my exam must have been 88% and I thought I did higher...

    Still waiting on one last grade.

    _________________________

    BOOKED FLIGHTS. Sat down at about 10.30 to book them, then did my usual over-analysis of every. single. detail and now look at the time. I'm slightly petrified. This means it's real. :rotfl:

    So excited :)

    Need to use this as motivation to smash this semester.

    And now, night :)

    Well done Cal, for goodness sake take some pride in your grades, they're great :T. Mind you, one year I did two OU courses, so a full year's uni, while working full time. Was upset I got the equivalent of a 1st in one but only a 2.1 in the other :rotfl:. Now I'd be happy if I remembered to turn up for the exam :D.

    Hope you got cashback on your flights :).
