Hi CW - I'm up early most mornings - leave for work just after 6:30!

I've got no chance not putting heating on in our house but I turn it down to 15 at night and then 19 at 6:00. When I get home it's always higher

"Were down for maintainance, it wont be long.... "
Well in one forum I'm not registered with someome is saying it's been down for 20 hours and they are referring to the US site.

I'm very cheesed off to say the least

Is anyone else having trouble with this site?. The UK one I mean

I don't often post on here but I do browse through regularly.

Well done Jeferey - you've been lucky having a time of low rates.

Our early house purchase days were when it was up to 15% - never really had the chance to pay off early but wonderful when you realise the house really belongs to only you.

How are you PM? Keeping cheerful and positive?

Good morning everyone

Well done Jeferey, must be such a relief to pay off your mortgage early and know its completely yours.

Thanks PM, Red and CW, it sure is a relief! I've had a mortgage for 23+ years
Red, I remember my first house I bought in 1990 I got a fixed rate of 13.5% :eek:for 2 years just before the rates went up to 15%. I couldn't afford to actually move into it but I wanted to get on the housing ladder so I rented it out to a couple of New Zealanders for 2½ years and carried on living at home .

I've just had a look back in time and on Thu, 15 Nov 1979 the base rate was put up to 17% :eek: .
Long term average interest rates are around 5%. I heard on the radio that 75% of mortgages are variable so in a couple of years some people could be in for a shock when the interest rates start going up.......

Morning all
