    All sounds very sensible Beanie - although financially overpaying the loan makes more sense nothing beats the feeling of security of owning your home :T

    Glad you enjoyed all the free food!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Not the best of days.
    I chaired a meeting today which will ultimatly lead to the end of a charity I have been involved with since its beginning just short of 20 years ago.
    I have a very heavy heart & feel very sad.
    I have been the chair for 4 years.
    Although I know that for very many reasons it is the best & only way forward I so wish things had been different today.

    Sorry to hear about the charity , why is it being wound up if it has been around for so long ? As for house repairs , they are a nuisance , but need doing unfortunately. When your all paid up on the loan and mortgage, you can have a house repair account instead .

    Sorry to hear about the charity, beanie - I was a committee member for a work related charity about 6 years ago, and it was utterly, utterly horrendous, unbelievably stressful. But it still did useful work! A difficult situation, these things always are.
