sidcow Posted November 25, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2021 Chocolate cherry liqueurs. I blimmin love them. You can only really get them at Christmas, unless you want to pay 10 times the normal cost anyway. I actually had an outlook reminder flash up a couple of weeks ago to start looking for them. Got several boxes in now, awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glorious. Usually have a lot of meetings on a Friday. The PM is off today and I have zero. Other than having to smoke test a deployment tonight between 6 and 7. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 After several centuries of seeing my mortgage payment be mostly interest repayment and the actual debt reduce by £1.28 we’ve finally got to the point where almost all the payment comes off the mortgage and I can see it tumbling month on month. Three years to go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three years to go. I remember when I bought my first house. It was a shared ownership for which there were not many lenders. Interest rate was something stupid, over 25 years. I remember getting the first annual statement and the balance was pretty much the same as it was at the start, I rang them up and they confirmed all was correct. I was shocked. I’m currently in a 5 year fix at 1.39%, the balance is coming down about £10,000 a year, and the value has been going up by more than £10,000 a year since we moved in. A long way to go but it’s nice to see the balance fall and the equity rise. Edited November 26, 2021 by Genie 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my wife discussed it for around a year. I was of the mind that it would be great to be mortgage free, that said in the end it was the right decision. My daughter who has many issues with mental health moved home with my grandson. She has improved no end so that alone is worth it for me.
