    And, in the long run, better off emotionally and physically too. ;)

    Already better off emotionally most of the time it has to be said!
    Last night I had the best night's sleep I've had for months - 10 hrs!
    Amazing how much better I feel after that!

  • Aww I'm pleased for you. Sleeps a strange thing... the times we need it most are the times it's illusive! I guess a mighty ten hours was the product of fewer mind troubles... great progress, keep your chin up. :)

  • Well, I am very sad - I have read the whole thread as I was interested in what was going on. Well done on the OP's PO and I am sorry that 2009 was not as great as anticipated. But you did the right thing, if you had have stayed together it would be like saying it was ok - nobody should ever have a hand raised to them by someone they love.

    I wish my mortgage was that low!!!!! lol

    Here's to 2010 - onwards and upwards x
    2022 Target - Reduce new mortgage balance after house move - Part 1 (Ported) Starting balance £39,982.12 currently £37,242.19 Part 2 Starting Balance £101,997.88 currently £96,197.38 (as at 19/04/2022)

    Thanks NHS .... I'm sad too, but I know it was the right thing to do (too scared to do otherwise anyway!!!!).

    Would prefer to say onwards and downwards for 2010 and should go below £9k this month! That's very exciting! (well, for a saddo like me it is anyway!)

    I'll do some sums in the next few days and work out what I can do. I love Feb - it's a short month and we get half term! :o)
