SquirrelPaid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
Still thrifty though, after all these years:D0 -
I think it is a scam suggested by fathers4justice or some such. Periodically the idiot informs the twilight zone that he has become unemployed and is therefore only liable for a fiver a month CM. Actually he has just job hopped yet again and they eventually collect the arrears via doe but it takes 12 months to do it.
Nuff said!0 -
Hope the lurgy stops spreading!June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!0

Oh Dear Alchemilla... CSA is indeed the Twilight Zone. It's a easy system to avoid if you're the one liable to pay... an impossible system to get money out of, if you're the one owed it. You have my sympathy!MFW 2010- £112,500 + 20% Equity Loan = £150,000 35 years
2013- £108,877.28 + 20% / current OP = 19 years :T

A friend of mine had to work through the CSA & had nightmares with it. Does it work for anyone?????"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris0

Thanks ztan.
Catshark it works marginally better than no CM which is the alternative.0 -
Thank you for all your lovely comments and for reading.
I am back on it today, I confess to wine and B7 last night.
Just walked the Puppy in the howling wind 2 degrees and torrential rain, our dog sitter still stops for a chat, oblivious to the weather. Made of tough stuff.
No major financials today.
Today I am grateful for
* shelter
* a lovely estee lauder freebee of wrinkle cream in the post (much needed!)
* no-one has vomited
* I think I've managed to light the fire
* Friday tomorrow.

Hi Alchemilla,
Glad things better today, have long since given uo battling for any CM, sometimesnot worth the stress.
Freebies always add a smile to the day,
Hope you have a good Friday.0
