    Gosh I'm just reading your footer, what an impressive mortgage journy you must have had!

    The job interview went well, I will find out Monday or Tuesday. If I don't get this I'll be looking for something else to apply for, I've really lost any enthusiam where I am.
    Finances are not going great, it's an expensive time of year with holidays etc. I am not getting into debt, but there's not much overpaying going on at the moment, and I always seem to be playing catch up.

    I still haven't heard if my mortgage rate is going down either :(
