    Many Thanks for kind words. Paid off my debt to my sister so am now really attacking the mortgage: overpayment of £550 today.


    Have now started looking for a dog online (Border Collie possibly) - will keep you posted on that front too :)

    150 overpayment...
    Car failed MOT (as expected) but cost not as bad as expected. Rarely drive these days anyway because I am within easy cycling distance from work...
    Not got a dog yet - probably makes sense for me to wait till summer hols now (I'm a teacher)...

    Great stuff :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Am getting a dog on Sunday after waiting for more than 15 years :)


    A lurcher called Flake from Bath Dogs Home.


    Will dent my mortgage paying progress, but can't wait!


    Just phoned up First Direct and they said figure left on my mortgage was £58,950.80, which I think is wrong (convinced I owe a grand more!). Definitely not complaining!
