    Evening

    Currently having a spell of knocked confidence and not really sure how to regain what I've lost. Anyone have any good suggestions?

    Been invited back to the RM survey. My stamp supply is dwindling so it would be good to complete another stint. Hopefully this time I won't get rested again straight after training :rotfl: (which is what happened at new year)

    One more working day to get through ;)

    Thanks Cath. I've decided to extend the long weekend a bit more and have taken today off too.

    Hey BW, how are you doing? hope you're feeling a bit better after a few days off.
  • Fantastic drop in daily interest on your new mortgage (with magic button). Well done on the compensation too for being messed around.

    Hope you're enjoying the long weekend :)

    Finding it hard to be motivated at the moment which is why I'm not around much.

    The time off was lovely - just not long enough! (but then it never is!) I'm still feeling a bit 'off my game emotionally' but I'm ok thanks. Hope all well with you :)

    Hope you can get your mo-jo back soon.


    Feel likewise, putting it down to the nasty bug I had, then rushing back to work, and ending up in a&e :(


    Between that and council tax starting up again :( along with all the bills arriving at the same time :( Mortgage feels at a standstill, but isn't really.
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Morning

    Was expecting it to be sunnier today. Hope that doesn't mean the nice weather of last couple of days is over already. Have plenty of garden jobs I need to get done so hoping it stays dry at least

    I'm a bit behind on the financial updates this month. However, I can confirm that as of 1st May, I have knocked another month off the mortgage and LTV is down to 68.21% :T Daily interest rate has reduced by 3p to £3.93

    Ticking along on the survey front too:

    £3 MS claimed/received
    £5 MS claimed
    £5 voucher received from GFK
    YG now at £40.50
    OP now at £31.90


    Other jobs for this weekend include looking for alternative house insurance quotes. Mine has gone up by more than I was expecting (even accounting for the tax change). Not remotely exciting but necessary

    Have a super Saturday all

    A bit behind on the financials myself. Slightly overcast on the weather front but looks like sun may break through.

    Just waiting for 2nd washing to finish then chance hanging it out.


    Your Doing well with the o/p fund.
