    How long until they leave? I don't think I could do it. I'm ready to get my home back when friends and relatives visit for a couple of nights.

    House back to ourselves for a week before the next students arrive for three weeks. Fingers crossed the next ones are better. I don't think they can be any worse. Still waiting for the mortgage statement to come in the post. Maybe tomorrow? I have loads of stuff to sell and I am hoping a few hundred. Defiantly enough to take another month off the mortgage. I am finding working in months off rather then the huge amount outstanding feels more manageable. We have managed to get a year off now which is epic. Z

    Another no spend day. Not having 5 mins in the day to spare helps the spends. Need fuel but can not be bothered to go out and get it. Will just have to sort it tomorrow before work.

    Another no spend day yesterday. No sign of the statement. I think the person on the phone may have got it wrong and it is due end of June? How do they work it out?
