    I would love to live in a mobile home (probably stealth camper style). Would Mrs E opt for it? I don't think so :D

    No mortgage costs would give us another £150k to invest over the next 18-19 years, that would be nice.

    Still, might be a bit of a nuisance raising kids in a van :rotfl:

    Maybe I will set up a MFW community in our field...
    That was a quarterly water bill!!

    Just ploughed through a million forms for primary school. £5 raffle tickets. Did a little ebay. Put a wash on. Checked on Ma.
  • Ok, so how exactly did you get the water bill so low?

    Im assuming you must be on a meter.

    Haven't you seen my big fat gypsy wedding? That's you that is :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I've not seen that film, sorry!
  • Of course, you have a well. It all makes sense now.

    Im all for saving the worlds resources (and money), but for £6 a quarter I was slightly concerned you were limiting yourself to one flush a fortnight.

    Ewww and PMSL.

    I have sent DH out with ponyplops and DD1 to try to get some stuff done. I have just discovered that boiled sweets and good bags do not mix.
