I wanna be mortgage free!

Went to view DH's new house yesterday!!! OMG I'm in love. It's awesome. Does mean we won't really have the internet when we are up there (will have to buy a dongle) but it'll be worth it I guess. Unfortunately the garden is separate from the house and the lady was not allowed to let it with the house because of the pond. So she's lending it to the neighbours...it's beautiful as well...I'm a bit gutted.
On a lighter note though, there is a MASSIVE field out the back of the house that our pup can run around in. She is totally not going to want to come home back here once she's been there. Ah well.
I've just done an email MS as well which is pretty cool...money for nothing really it feels like. There was only one email one I could take though which was a bit sad. There are two phone ones I could do but I'm not really feeling them if I'm honest.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25

Right I'm well and truly pooped. Been puppy proofing the living room. MAN...I'm tired. We have however set up the crate (and the bed) got out all the puppy toys we've ordered (only 4) and constructed the puppy play pen including vet bed stuff! It really feels like she's coming now. I'm going to get some more stuff for her after work tomorrow.
I have to go to a staff meeting, then a smear test...so I figure going puppy shopping will cheer me up. I may even treat myself to a splash out fish and chips...mainly as a treat for having the smear test done. I REALLY hope I don't bleed this time...I really don't want to have to go for that procedure the nurse was talking about.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25

Well, it didn't go well at the nurse's today. So she's taken swabs for everything under the sun...but it looks like I'll be getting refered to the hospital. Groan. However, I did go and get things for the little pup and despite the house being a bit of a tip...there is light at the end of the tunnel. By the end of this week I'm hoping to be organised.
Time to hang out the washing and then bed me thinks. I'm pooped.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25

Sorry about the nurse's but I know you've been worried about stuff for a bit so maybe you'll start to get some answers now.
How exciting about the puppy! And you sound much more organised than I am with the baby! :rotfl::eek:Updating soon...0 -
Cheers ladies. I'm a bit bummed out about the whole medical issue thing, but hey, it'll sort itself out I guess. The dog is helping massively, it's totally taking my mind off it. Our breeder emailed me some more pictures of her before...I'm soooooo excited. She's beautiful. I'm that sad I opened the email and burst into tears! I'm such a loser!!Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25

Try not to worry too much till you know more. Easier said than done i know. I had 3 years of them making me go every 6 months for a smear test and it was absolutely horrid. if there is a more serious problem they pick up on these things so quickly when you go often.
Is it Saturday for the dog?0 -
Hello Twinklie - I feel excited for you and your new pup, and it sounds like she's arriving at a good time for you. Can you post a photo? I'm a sucker for puppy pics!!

I'm sure I can have a go at posting up some picks...when I eventually can pull myself aware from her!!
So I have an interview for the jobs I applied for on Tuesday or Wednesday next week. NO PRESSURE!! ARGH! I'm just looking forward to getting it out of the way to be honest. I'm excited in a strange way though. I'm sooooo tired today, however, I came home and then sorted the recycling. Then I put that out, hovered the living room and stairs, swept the kitchen floor and washed up. I've also put a wash on and sorted some dry washing. My tea is nearly cooked and I have nearly the whole night ahead of me!!Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
