a miracle has happened!
At least it feels like a miracle - in the midst of this difficult economic climate, my OH has only gone and got himself a job

. We won't be rich - but we have learned a lot about living on less, and want to carry on being frugal so that we can start to overpay a little on the mortgage when we can.

Re: a miracle has happened!
Congrats!!
Maintaining a continued frugal existence might prove harder than it seems. However, I wish you both the very best in this effort. Paying extra on a mortgage is always nice when it can be done.
Regards,
Chuck

Re: a miracle has happened!
Oh that's wonderful news Yvette - very happy for you all.
You may not be quite so frugal (you deserve a few treats after all!) but it certainly makes you more aware about spending and managing your money when you have been through a period like that.

Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!

Congrats to you both. On his first pay cheque take out the amount he would have as dole money and treat yourselves with half of the remainding money. That way you feel as if you are able to get something for his labours but not going overboard.

That's brilliant news. Congratulations to him. If you can manage to overpay your mortgage even a little bit, it's amazing how much you can save in the long run.
