Compensation? Chance would be a fine thing - blimmin' lucky we even got them to come out! :rotfl:

Very rough weekend. Feeling overwhelmed by gloom despite being surrounded by blessings, hopefully my mood will improve if the weather does

Did a quick tally up and the Monthly Project for this month (SIPP) is going really well. I've bought £500 (£625 after gummint) of bonds, not bad for extra monies earned. Helped by a hefty £295 earned from a generous bookie signup for Mrs E. We're currently splitting the winnings for any of the larger bonuses - 50% to the Monthly Project, 25% to each of us to spend as we see fit.

I think the next Monthly Project will need to be either P2P or paying down some of our unsecured CC debt. In theory this is offset by P2P interest, but only if we use it to pay down the debt (which we usually don't!) Torn between paying down debt or just paying the minimums and letting it dwindle down, balance transferring as required.

So a fiscally successful month, contrary to what my dwindling bank balance suggests

I really hate the cognitive dissonance of dwindling bank account but positive finances! Why can't all my bank balances be flush all the time and my mortgage balance drop by mid-4 figures every month?

(DH and I were joking over the weekend about jobs that we'd hate to do and have to be really well paid for, and I realised that if I could be paid, say, mid-6 figures for 2-3 months to do a job I wouldn't like, we could pay off the mortgage and then I could quit! Too bad I don't actually have the skills for said jobs...)

Haha - be a CEO and then you don't need the skills anyway :rotfl:

Loving this

Ed, I've finally put research into P2P onto my proper to-do list for this week, thanks to you. Is there a moneysupermarket type site where you started your research, or did you just look at T&Cs of all the P2P companies you could find?

edinburgher

I'll PM you KC.
