    I'm not so dead against it but it would take me too long to earn a decent amount :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    First day off from work yay:j

    Am still in my PJs and intend to stay in them until it's time to do the school run!!

    Housework day today and some bits and pieces to catch up on!

    I'm plodding on with one poll, nectar ads and yougov....had 500 points from nectar which went towards some food shopping at Mr S

    Got some bits and pieces to put ebay and hopefully make some more OPs. Made an OP yesterday from my little lotto win:j

    Have just had an email to say my Xmas savings vouchers are on the way too so I can do some guilt free shopping!!:D

    I'm going to add up all my little OPs at the end of the month and see how I get on....have been giving myself a weekly spending budget by transferring money from my main account to a second account...it's working well and making me more aware of my spending! I still ended up buying DS 2 new pairs of jeans this week though...what do 9 year olds do to their clothes????

    What sort of mortgage do you have to overpay each month?

    Thanks for your time.

    It's IO at the moment....I need to pay another 5k off it and then I will be able to go offset....no one will give me a mortgage to offset at the moment!
