    I can help with the loo roll. Found a 24 pack I'd been assured we didn't have. How can someone miss seeing 24 toilet rolls?

    I think I can safely say there is NO way I would miss 24 loo rolls!

    Beanielou Vs The Mortgage!

    This could be a film. Angelina could play Beanie!

    Beanie easiest way I think is to subtract the amount paid off the total. Divide the resulting number by the total and times by 100. This gives you the percentage remaining from which you can work out the percentage paid.

  • Beanie I have just found your diary and will subscribe! I love your posts and you are always so compassionate and kind to people. Like you I can only afford to make very small overpayments on my mortgage but unlike you I haven't started. I've set Jan 24 as the first date to start and I'm to plod like you are.

    I think you are wonderful and I'm cheering you on all the way!
    With family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!
