    Lovely evening. Been to Saddlers Wells for first time. Wonderful experience. Enjoyed every moment.
    Downloaded business traumas to friend who took the view supplier highly unlikely to really throw the contract out at this point and told me a lovely saying of her dad's "things are rarely as good or as bad as they seem at first".

    During ballet also decided to think positively so as not to attract negative energy. From this moment on my business will be in total compliance with suppliers terms and will trade very successfully for the next 3 years.
    Within 2 years the rental property will be paid off and contributing to our household income.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Great! I lived on a bus route that went past Sadlers Wells for years, and only went twice :o so good for you! I definitely remember seeing a Matthew Bourne production there, it was so glamorous it was untrue :j what did you see?

    Also brilliant :j Once you've excavated the problem and got your plans going, this is really sensible :)

    When I first saw the time of your post, I was a bit concerned - I'm not now :beer: I can well understand wanting to write this down right away :beer:

    Matthew Bourne Sleeping Beauty. Gorgeous. Gothic. Some lovely twists in the tale. Amazing costumes. Wonderful staging and beautiful dancing. Loved it.

    I've never been to a ballet - but I would love to.


    That's an idea for on outing one day:)

  • It is sometimes hard to pay off a mortgage due to living expenses and the bank or building society have rules for overpaying. I have my mortgage with Nationwide and they allow up to £500 overpayments per month. I am not allowed to pay more than that otherwise I would be given an early repayment fee. Some people are only able to pay 10% overpayments on their mortgage. I wish to pay off my mortgage by September 2017. It is a challenge keeping up with the overpayments.

    Great. Look forward to hearing what you see. I've just been browsing the Saddlers Wells website, but, it tickets do not fit in with the plans just yet. Am not overdoing frugal as have opera tickets for Canterbury a couple of times later in the year. So a balance of fun yes, but, still saving money for the £50 k pot.

    You saw a Matthew Bourne too! I love ballet, I did so much as a child, its in my blood! As a well paid singleton living in London back in the day, I went to the ballet at least once a month, including Covent Garden one time, utterly unforgettable - I saw one of the last performances there by Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev, and I saw Martha Graham too ... mmmm ... since I moved here 5 years ago, there *has* been a Russian company dance at the community centre, it was great but weird, they were so cramped on the stage. I love it up close and personal like that, it has its own blessings.

    Goldie, you have to go!

    Everything derailed by dog's death on Tuesday morning. We were told 3 months, and he just exceeded that. Both Mr Watty and I were here when it happened. I spent most of yesterday morning just sitting with him after he had died until he was buried in the field.


    The house is so quiet. And I can't stop crying.
