    Flying visit to MSE from me, literally - back home yesterday night and off to Heathrow again this afternoon. Getting really fed up with business travel at the moment :(

    Don't give up KBL.


    Whilst at Uni, I only paid £25/OP, and only sometimes during the summer break when I was earning, did I mange to increase to £75.


    AND I got there :)

    Oppsy, No 127 reporting in with a late report.


    May - Max £500
    June - £375


    Aim is to get our LTV to 60%, and get a re-mortgage. As according to the sums, it would be better to pay £1600 ERC (2 yrs left) and pay the £1500 fee to reduce the percentage from 4.89 to 2.99%, which should save about £200 / mth :)


    Mind you after this, we have some huge bills to pay, so I had better start saving :P
