    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

  • Paid off another £240 which is 2 lots of DSs board. So with the OP which I made as soon as the OH got paid that makes £1,240 for November. I can't see there'll be anymore until next payday because with Xmas around the corner I'm shopping like mad but in MSE style :D
  • Well done you! That's fabulous work!:T

  • Hopefully we'll be MF in April 09 and in April 2010 DD2 will start at her school nursery so we will be paying 2 lots of school fees so I think we'll be broke again. On that basis we'll have a year to enjoy being MF. My first choice would be to pay to get our garden done (designed and landscaped) but I don't know if the OH would agree!
