Best answers:

• Thanks Gallygirl.
  Just worked out my LTV and house prices round here are not looking too pretty!
• Well, that's the whole point of being here You'll find it very welcoming and helpful .
• The more the merrier!!!!!
  Lets free ourselves of these Mortgage shackles together!!!
• Thanks. The job has become harder since DH got downsized or went part time depending on your viewpoint!
• They do say nothing worth doing was ever easy....
  This morning I am kicking myself for not taking the chance of doing a maths teacher conversion course when the chance was there. Now i cant find the details of it.
• Good luck and welcome Alchemilla.
• Thanks secretsavingsquirrel. I'm GRATEFUL for your welcome.
• Enough of the intros, we need hard facts:
  Timescale etc to pay mortgage off.
  Number of chickens owned.
  Embarrassing pants in knicker tales.
• Ah.
  Mortgage is 200 k. If no overpayments we have 13 years to go i think. Ideally will pay it off in 8 by which time we expect to be funding three students through uni.
  Could use a linky to that fab s/s calculator that was knocking about a while back?
• Hi Alchemilla. Lovely to have you here.
  Do tell us a bit about yourself. Are you doing this on your own, or do you have a partner and/or kids to make things more complicated?
• Hello Lois, lovely to *see* you.
  I have a husband, three children and a delinquent dog. They may eventually be joined by a pony if we can find a sane one.
  eta Lois I can only send one PM an hour, but basically the experience of one of our friends gave me chills so I thought it wise!!
• Must. Do. Marking.
• Moneysavingexploits for today have involved procuring a meal for two, fizz and mojitos for 52p -m and s vouchers obv.
• Excellent! Well done Alchemilla.
• Why thank you Lois.
  I have also marked 2 sets of books and written one set of reports, which you will appreciate!
  You on half term this week or next?
• Why thank you, and "How-do?" Froggy.
  I really need to pluck up courage to do the budget...
  Going to see pony number 26 on Saturday....
