    Hi, that's for stopping by. :) :wave:
    Are you familiar with Tilly tidies? Tilly has a diary on the mortgage free wannabe board and we all stole her idea. Lol if ( for example) you have £437.22 I your current account, you move the oddments into savings. This would mean you've saved an extra 22p and Tilly tidied your current account. If I an afford it, I would move the £7.22 into savings and I call this a Tilly tidy deluxe! :D
    Tilly explains it much better than I do. It's a great way of inching your savings up with little effort. :)
    I checked and I haven't been given the offer for listings. :( never mind, I will get some more up anyway. Thanks for the heads up though, I will keep checking.
    :)


    I have heard of Tilly Tidies but not came across the explanation in Tilly's diary yet. I took it to mean; tidy your bank accounts and o/p your mortgage, and to actually tidy down the mortgage account, say I had 136.648.00 balance on mortgage, then I would "tidy" £149.00 making new balance 136,499 - (I always try to make it £1 less than the £500) this was just my take on it, but you have put me to rights, thanks.:)


    As for the bay offer, they don't seem to email/announce the new offers, its normally just at the bottom of the page where you see your 20 free listings for the month.;)
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Yes, Tilly does explain Tilly tidies better than me, but at least you're on the right track now. ;)
    Yes, I keep checking the bay and the bottom of my listing 'entitlements' but still nothing as yet. :(
