    20's is so exciting. His long till the 10's...and I know that you know without looking...

    Happy I'm giving the impression, I know what i'm doing :eek: but Sorry to disappoint - I don't have a clue - I just used Sue's linky, played with the figures until I worked how much I would need to o/p each month to finish the mortgage by 29.2.20, and like yourself, very well aware of how circumstances can change suddenly, so I just take it month by month ending each month with a quote "on target" if I am.

    I actually have a confession - Sue if you are reading this - hide your eyes and cover your ears :rotfl: or maybe that should be cover your eyes and hide your ears :rotfl:

    I don't have a spreadsheet - there I've said it.

    Haven't a clue on how to start one, set one up etc,etc :o but I'm still getting there, (I hope).

    It's is really motivating, so get yourself a Tilly Tidy account and start o/p, but it should come with an "addiction" warning, cause once you start - you'll be addicted - you have been warned :naughty: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    ps Must apologise, for the rants and waffles in my diary :o

    A big thanks to everyone for cheering me on - feel quite chuffed with myself now :beer:

    I don't use a spread sheet either - i just give them a call.

    So my ding dong with the mortgagor is progressing well and they have confirmed that the last people I spoke to were incorrect in the information that they gave me! Yay a bank is wrong!

    Is that a first?

    Everyone have a good rest of the day...

    If they've admitted it, yes :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    They'll work it around to them being wrong as someone else was wrong beforehand which made them wrong (that makes sense in my head at least).
