Can I just ask ... Has anyone got their £5 from Halifax yet ?
Hello :wave:
lurker here who has only just found new diary oops.
I haven't had it yet - BUT - Can you advise - have i mucked up here on my [EMAIL="h@alifax"]h@alifax[/EMAIL]?
28/02 - moved £1000 through
01/04/2013 - moved £1000 through
BUT there is no £1000 showing for the calendar month of March - i guess that means no £5 for me :mad:
I haven't been paying attention to the calender days......You're not your * could have not of * Debt not dept *0 -
Hi lindens and welcome, I hate to say it but I think you have, if there is nothing showing for march
I have noticed though that h@lifax arnt exactly great with their days we get the £5 on the second ( usually) but it shows as the 1st, I also put money in ( the £5 I was talking about ) at the end of march and it's showing the 1st as well ...
Maybe best to filter the £1k through on a specific date may help in future, hope you get it though0 -
Think I understand it now
you just have the two mortgages and NOT the debt/loans but pay the mortgage as though it is the same amount as the loan/debt payments would've been
That's it taxi, I want rid of all debt including mortgage, my total for paying every month is excluding any interest as well0 -

That's the £5's in if anyone is interested,
Well today I slept most of the day, didn't get up till 8pm so I really needed the sleep, I need to get back in top of the menu planning as well, have just been so busy lately I havn't had a minute to do anything but I notice we are much better with the shopping then we do our menu planning.
Nothing much happening finance wise just plodding on till the end if the month, but I have started a wee side challenge with Skinty so will see how that goes
That's about all for now, nothing exciting but I want to keep writting away to keep the focus going0 -
Good luck with your menu plan
Has your remortgage actually happened? I think I may have missed that.
Have you had blue sky yesterday - it made such a difference to us all.

I didn't get to see the sky yesterday
but I'm hoping that with the snow gone now it will be better for everyone that does get to see it
Yep the remortgage is through ( hence the big overpayments in the 2013 mfw thread lol )
We're now at the plugging away at two mortgages stage, it's easier all round tbh less interest and less things to look up/ phone etc to get the info needed
Hope your day is equally if not more sunny0 -
The two mortgages does sound a lot less complicated!

I'm getting all polytunnel excited, need to order some seeds as I chucked all my seeds away as I didn't have great success with them last year, I also need to get planning with what I want to grow ... I can see an exciting nightshift ahead.
Two books sold and posted away, when the money arrives in the account I'm going to split the money between the two usual bills and savings0
