Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Lucky to have avoided negative equity - I bought my first place relatively late in life by comparison (and after leaving Oxon to move jobs in the mid 1990s). Never had any luck on fix v float my mortgage interest though.

Took the opportunity to move from an endowment to repayment mortgage when we moved house in 1999. We would have been left with a wracking shortfall!! Cashed the endowments while they were still making a bit. Kicked ourselves fir not going for miss selling compensation 🤦🏻‍♂️

This should probably go on the over 65’s thread but I don’t think there is one so this thread will do!
I received an invitation for an AAA (abdominal aortic aneurysm) screening this morning.

That's a new one on me, ER. I can work it out, but didn't know there was a screening programme. Sounds like a good thing overall.

In other exciting news, I an now eagerly looking forward to the 18th when I shall be eligible to go get my Covid booster shot. Funny, as a child and teen I spent a lot of time dreading injections of any kind!
