The 5 year fix i was on wasn't up until end of Dec, but i got another for the princely sum of £5 more each month, which considering which way interest rates are going and how volatile things are in general, i was well pleased with. No fees either, just straight mortgage switch, slight increase in interest rate. Had to pay a small early release fee, but considering i got another 5year at just £5 more a month, and for peace of mind with high inflation and rates climbing to combat it, i was happy to pay it. Once that finishes, they'll only be 2 years on it, could just pay it all off in one go if need be. ^^^^^^^^^ Start of March i did that. What a fucking call, Krapow! As it currently stands, over the 5 years i'll have saved myself about £4000 or £5000, but it'll be worse, much worse. By the time i could've got a new deal in October without paying a small early release, it'll be another £1000 on that over the 5 years, easy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightcrawler Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Just got back from a Richard Ascroft concert at the Crystal Palace Bowl. Never heard of him, apparently he was the singer.with The Verve. A friend offered me a ticket earlier today, so why not. Quite enjoyed the gig although the only song I recognised was ' "the drugs don't work anymore" Was a nice open air event and a warm breeze filled the air. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siam Addict Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Finally finished decorating my flat. With my knees and ankle issues, it's been a long two months of slowly painting some evenings and most weekends. Next project is to spend two months tidying the mess I made! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krapow Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Just heading back to London from seeing family and friends. Finn's looking a bit worse for wear these days, few scars showing. Have to sit in the chair and make a wish. I was gonna wish no delays in my flights, but kept it more realistic and asked for the lottery numbers ...

Funeral was afloat, instructions said " come by water if you can" .... and about 25 boats did, plus a lot ashore. RIP ol' chap. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Horizondave Posted August 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2022 Just signing a contract and doing a screening for my position with British Airways. Not sure I have all the info as I am on holiday but will try my best. Meant also to be on a training course at Heathrow in September 5 days after I get back from holiday. Bit of an inconvenience to give it some necessary time but get it done and get back to the holiday. I was looking to do some work from home and this has fallen in my lap quite conveniently. Own hours, as little or much as I like and it looks like I will also be able to get non contractual airline concessions again after 3 months. Might just work out OK. 3 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualung Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Watching "Saving Private Ryan" for the umpteenth time whilst trying to convince the TW the best way to book flights to Los is to book direct with the airline right now. Might as well be talking to the fucking piss pot. So, after her finding all the flights that are shite including Thai Airways at nearly £850 per person I booked direct with Turkish Airlines. £ 560 each return. 6 weeks in Los to look forward to I hope..... Visa application pending. Back to my movie now !!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
