  I believe @BRM might have one of these secretly stored somewhere

  About a quarter of my mortgage is interest-only - a hangover from taking out my first mortgage in the early 90s when every spiv would sell you an endowment. Fortunately I have the capital to cover it, but it's sitting in a cash ISA earning more interest that I'm paying on the mortgage.

  The main issues I've found are you'll have to show a lender that you have savings or a product to pay the capital off at the end of the loan, and not all lenders will consider interest-only (particularly on the whole loan) so many of the better deals aren't available.

  He looks awesome, unexpected cross, but a good one

  Thanks all. This is how the leg is looking after two weeks. Amazing compared to the gruesome picture on the previous page.

  Thanks. He had the second set of stitches out on Friday, so it’s now just dressed and healing naturally- apparently Manuka honey is a real thing for dog wounds. I’m astounded that he has healed from that bone deep wound to a surface would that’s scabbing over, in 10 days. Without being able fully close it with stitches.

  The hood stays until it’s completely healed. Done up with zip ties

  That’s very true. Add silva and kaputska to that list. Recruitment after the title win was chaotic, but we’re probably still in credit

  Thanks, waiting at the vet right now while they change the dressing. Apparently it’s already looking much better

  They also picked up players for nothing or little, with no resale value, but who did a job - Huth, Albrighton, Simpson...

  The model’s different now and higher risk financially- Maddison, Maguire, Justin, etc. in the £20m bracket - or trusting in and developing young-uns from the academy - Hamza, Barnes, Chilwell...

  Here’s the self-inflicted damage (happy to take it down if deemed too graphic). Staffies’ pain threshold is ridiculous, he was walking and jumping around like nothing had happened.

  Having been fine all week, Reggie managed to get his cone off when I went to the shops on Saturday, got the bandages off his leg and chewed out the stitches. There wasn’t enough skin to sew it back up, so we’re into weeks of gradual healing and 24 hour supervision. And big bucks, which is why I’m glad he’s insured. Putting money aside instead each month is fine, but not much use if you have a big bill in the first couple of years.
