    That's brilliant though :T:T you will notice such a difference. I don't have a mortgage (thanks dad :A) There are times in the last few years, with all that's happened, when I think we would have been on our bums if we'd had mortgage re-payments to make. It's much easier to get through lean times when you just have the basic bills to pay and even better when you know you can feed your family very cheaply.
    It's a really fortunate position to be in and one that I'm always grateful for :)

    It will save stress at next contract renewal time for Mr TS. :) Working for a charity means there is funding for so long and then the projects go out to tender again. Sometimes they are unlucky and don't get renewed hence being made half redundant couple years ago. :(

    The charity are really good and move people around but sometimes the inevitable happens. So if it does it will be less of a worry. :T

    Actually how is zippy has he had any news yet about his job. Have been keeping my fingers crossed for him. :)

    I did, I'm a bit red eyed though. :rotfl:

    It feels good to be sat in a house that is totally ours now. Good job the lady at the bank knew me as don't think anyone else would have been so happy someone coming in not long before closing time to pay off their mortgage. :o

    She often served my mum when I took her every week and has the patience of a saint, she was genuinely pleased for me and said congratulations as she passed over the receipt. :D

    Hope your ok Ts. Hugs xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Just back in from putting an aerial lead in for someone. Settled down and had pizza for dinner as we were a bit late :D

    It's quite funny, I seem to have vouchers for fresh burgers from T's :D Just wish they were still glitching.

    Well, I have my mags so I will be raiding that dairy ingredients range soon, look interesting. Has anyone used more than two vouchers at once for them ?
