Why thank you Lois.

I have also marked 2 sets of books and written one set of reports, which you will appreciate!

Well done Alchemilla. I think reports are the worst bit of teaching. No, actually I take that back. Writing reports comes second only to marking coursework.

I am loving the chasing up of coursework less than the marking of it.

Going to make pancakes shortly. DD2 was not amused by the idea of Lent. Not feeling too well but still trying to work out if it is exhaustion or mental or physical.
Also pony #26 looks like getting sold before we can get there to view it.
Clearly none of this is especially money saving but I have pm-ed someone trying to scrounge an overpayment s/s.

Ok getting a tad more organised, I've updated Dave Addey's s/s that I got from MSE forever ago, results in siggy, so my mortgage-free date will ideally be August 2021.

This means getting 6 years off it.

Great to see some numbers in your sig.
But if your mortgage was £201216.04 on 31.12.12, what is it now? We need the up to date value in your sig too, otherwise how will we know when you reach a milestone and deserve congratulations????

Hello newgirly *waves*
Lois sorry brainfog. Will go look it up. Happy that we are clearing 800 quid of capital each month.

I have done one good thing today. I have signed up for MSE's cheap energy club. I was pleased -and a bit surprised to find we are already on the best fixed tariff for the electrickery. Yay!

eta pony number 26 got sold already.

Just think - your next payment will take mortgage below 200k :j

Pony 26 - hmmm - do you think the universe is trying to say it's not meant to be :cool:

Alchemilla

Well looking on the bright (ish) side, we haven't bought one that has frightened her (or worse), gone lame or had to be PTS.

Below 200k will be cool. Need to look at sums again.

Eta quite pleased with self. Had another look at the budgets and have found nearly £200. When the overspend is paid off might look at a regular overpayments
