    :j My £100.00 turned up in my account today :j

    So even though I o/p £100 last night to make up for it being missing.


    I o/p the £100 that appeared today, what you didn't have - you don't miss :D I'll remind myself of that nearer the end of the month when pennies are short - it being a 5 week month :(
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Happy belated anniversary...

    Yay for missing op turning up :j

    I got a little windfall today, so once banked will go straight onto the mortgage. As you have rightly said - never had it, so wont miss it. Still having a ding dong with the mortgagor...all fun & games at my end.

    Have a good evening all. :)

    Thank you, great news on the windfall:T, depending on how much right enough, I would maybe have kept a little £20 for a treat for myself - I get so little of these, now :( but, Sorry - not what you want to hear :rotfl: Get that o/p made to the mortgage :A

    Morning - Exam is next tuesday and I am not happy with anything to do with it. My head space is all over the place at the moment, so I will continue to revise as best as I can (just won't be enough) and hope for the best :(. At lease if I fail, I can re-take it in June, with another exam that I am taking in June.

    My ding dong will get sorted once I have received the information from the bank - I have decided that if they cannot be bothered - complaints galore will be on its way.

    So between myself & OH, we used to love takeaways, so now what we have decided is that if we don't do the weekly takeaways, we can use those monies saved towards a nice meal out at one of our fave restaurants :)

    Otherwise, I have virtual savings pots all over the place and a nice spread sheet to keep it all up to date and correct.

    :)Thing is, the mind is very strange about what you actually know, without knowing you know :)

    Good idea about the carry outs - we still need a bit of normality :)

    Look forward to hearing about your ding-dong with the bank :)
