    I have found myself totally neglecting my thread but I have made little progress at all this month. I am working out my notice and am trying to hand my classes over to the next person in some sort of order....so they cant call me when Im gone:D

    I have had a month of car repairs as the exhaust eventually went on the Picasso (which I knew was only a matter of time) £125 and out Seat has had a broken spring thingy on the suspension which cost £95.....and last night it totally broke down in the heavy rain and is now sat on the drive looking sorry for itself.

    Thursday I am not working at all as the centre that I should be at is being used for a polling station so I intend to post a full update.

    :mad: CARS:mad:

  • Hi I've enjoyed reading your thread. Congrats in your new job.
    It's exciting to think about paying off the mortgage early. If we don't start overpaying my hubby will be 63 when we finish and I'll be 58. Since he is a teacher and wants to retire at 55 we need a plan to get ours paid off. I want to pay it off in seven to ten years instead of 23. I'm working out a plan now.
    MFW - aiming to pay off mortgage in considerably less than 22years 6months.
    borrowed £60,779.23 interest only/£74,573.36 repayment

    I shouldn't think so. Not with having to teach the next morning:eek: Been there and done it, not recommended!
  • Oops. Just re-read this and can I just say - no offence intended.

    Just latched onto comment today that LJ had been neglecting diary - saw earlier comment about having a vin rouge after interview and thought I'd make light of this.

    I'll now sit in the naughty corner for a while...
