Its a great feeling seeing the end of the debt Jo isnt it xxx I have been debt free since January and I am now overpaying on the Mortgage............see you on the MFW thread.................maybe:D

I have given up on the SW thread BTW:o ....just cant bloody do it:mad:

Maybe I should start charging myself money "like bank charges, but fat charges instead" if I dont loose anything. Hmmmm it just might work:rotfl:

Great to see you so close to your goal:T

Hi Scarlett! How funny that our sons have the same name, are the same age and have a similar condition! Funnily enough, there seem to be a lot of Ryans with it! Nice to meet you anyway.

Spud - hmmmm.....I'm wondering if the campsite has wireless?! :rotfl: Not sure what else I am going to do in an evening!!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement - I have missed you all too xxx

Louise - yep, I've already been lurking around the mortgage free wannabe boards a bit, and posted occasionally, but I will need to get going with that - our mortgage was going to be paid off in 10 years, but now we are going to probably have it until we retire unless we do something drastic!

Hi Snaggles

Just a thought - have you checked to see if you are entitled to a grant to "do" the house to make it "fit" for Ryan? A couple of friends have had extra bathrooms/bedrooms done for their ASD chidren? Don't know if your council do this

Hi stressed.mum - I haven't looked into it, but Ryan doesn't even get DLA (yet....another thing I should really sort out....:o), so I don't think we would qualify for anything. I will make sure I check that out before we commit to the extension plans though, thanks.

Oh bum - I have messed up an easy £50 on the Quidco Payday Loans thing.

I didn't want to use my proper account for it (my employers would definitely frown on a transaction to that sort of company, and as I am about to ask them to double my mortgage, I didn't want to risk it). So I decided to use an old account. Managed to get logged on, and transferred £20 (as I was intending to borrow £80 and would need to repay £100, but would get £70 from Quidco). But then I messed up my Payday Loans application by saying I had a Visa Electron card instead of a Visa Delta (it doesn't say on the card which it is, and I picked the wrong one). So they just said straight away that I didn't meet their automatic criteria so they would contact me shortly to discuss it further. Booooooo.

That will teach me to do these things late on a Friday night! :rolleyes:

Just changed my mobile phone contract through Quidco though and got £34 cashback. I was intending to go onto PAYG, but I know I would spend £20 a month, so I may as well just pay £15 on a contract and have a nice new phone with loads of free minutes, texts and video calling (woohoo ).

I was going to buy Stu's phone through Quidco too, but I'm not sure if a second transaction with the same company would track - anyone know? If not, I will do it through 3 mobile's own recommend a friend scheme, so we will both at least get some extra credit.

Hi again :rotfl:

think this is the link to direct gov site that will explain - not sure that you need to be in receipt of benefits - it is to make the "disabled" persons life easier
