    It does mean I'll be able to put it off past the end of the financial year which is the next big hump for me. :T

    Why is the end of the financial year a big hump for you Z?
    Confuddled as usual.

    Because I "borrowed" out of my flexible ISA to fund my deposit. It's going to be a struggle to put back all of it before the end of the financial year. If I don't then that "borrow" turns into a withdrawal. Which I don't want to do. I'm trying to fund an early retirement now - I've decided I don't like work...

    It hasn't been too bad round here 6-8C.

    But woke up in the morning and my car was all clean and shiny. It must really have bucketed down during the night... :rotfl:

    Ah, well at least you have the borrowing facility - is it a lot to get back in?

    Feel you on the retirement. OH's pension cashes out at 61 and while my retirement age is 68 I have no plans to let OH sit at home for 7 years while I go out to work.
