Mr GG couldn't find the menthol crystals I told him were sitting on the bathroom windowsill, in a little white pot, next to the chrome dish. They were indeed sitting on the bathroom windowsill, in a little white pot, next to the chrome dish. Even Mr GG was impressed by that failure :rotfl:.
So how are the ones you made last year Beanie? Still treating you well? Still not charging you interest? Don't diss what you have achieved, that is debt and interest that will never ever ever come back :T.I stated making OP's last year but I haven't made any this year as yet & won't be for a wee whiley yet.
How nice to be able to cheer you on for a change, rather than reading your supportive posts to others :j.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort Mortgage Balance = £0

It ain't a sprint its a marathon
Keep plodding beanie it will happen ... One thing that always helped me was working out how much interest per day I paid, I would find out £8 odds and set a wee mini goal for ,£7.99 I would keep squirreling away pennies and before I knew it I would make it i'm now on less than £3 a day and it feels really good ..... Took me a long time with many months I couldn't pay anything at all ... But I got there and so will u beanie

:T Very well said gallygirl - repaying capital is one thing, but paying interest is quite another - so any penny that you can keep and not just hand over to 'the man' is to be celebrated.
Keep going Beanie :T
