Getting FIREd up 😀

Grrr, the drop in the base rate has cost me 15p/day so far, and I'm sure the LISA won't be far behind in dropping the rate 🙁

New Midsomer Murders tonight!!!

(Not that there has been a single advert for it, unlike "Joan" which I feel like I've seen 400+ ads for and is still being trailed in every ad break weeks after it finished 🤷‍♀️)

But anyway....new Midsomer Murders!

My OH and children will eat Hot Cross Buns all year round if facilitated. 

Weirdly I spied some in the GF ‘free from’ section of Sainsbury’s yesterday & did wonder what’s going on ..
(I was tempted but it felt wrong ) 
maybe some product manager has decided it should have a year round availability 

SC £83 interest is great! 

I have a full so £12k added and now £679 interest  h2b isa (but as I am unlikely to be able to buy under £450 it may be useless) and interest rate is 2. Something 
I would get it moved but no great rates and it seems like a hassle - especially if I buy in next few months - now £23 pm interest approx on it 
I will look though you have inspired me

It won't be that much next month, LaPlan! (where is the "shakes fist at BoE" emoji 🤔?)

Is there the option to transfer a Help to Buy now they don't exist any more? I'm not sure how it works once something has been withdrawn. I didn't realise there was a maximum balance, either. I did have one, but only for a few months, as I opened it as soon as they launched and then bought shortly after. Mine was the first my solicitor's office had dealt with, which I seem to recall added about 10 days to the time taken to exchange, as they needed someone to do some training so they knew what to do 🤦‍♀️!

I'm surprised that not everyone in that village is dead yet! They must be selling the houses really cheap and not telling newcomers how awful the crime rate is 🤣

South_coast

They've still not done the "Revisited" series I wanted to see, either. The effect on house prices would fit right in with that....🤔

Don’t worry - I spotted it and recorded it. DH won’t watch it, so I can have some nice time during a weekday enjoying on my own

I can still add to my h2b isa... I opened it on the last day I could (rushed down to my local bank whilst feeling awful with flu) I think I have til 2030 to use it... Max balance is only on the rewards - you only get the 25% uplift up to £12k added. So I have added £12k and the remaining £693 is interest since Dec 2019! So its now just returning £24 pm interest into itself.

Tx for the heads up on the solicitor needing training and exchange issues - though I have to buy under £450k to get the extra cash - a limit I was staying under before when looking but we will see... £475k seems more of a stretch but gets me what I am thinking is my lifelong London home... as in I would not have to move again unless major life changes..

BOE  fist shaking emoji would be v useful!

This reminded me of you, but I had a survey asking, "Apart from your partner, how many of the following groups do you live with? Child under the age of 1..."

South_coast

My survey offerings for today were so ridiculous that I've managed to erase them from my brain 🤣! 

More importantly, when are you watching the new Midsomer Murders??? I almost referred to the body count yesterday evening, before realising that would be a massive spoiler 😯!
