Benbens moneymaking adventure

benbenandme

Have updated my signature, mortgage (as of wednesday) stands at £46,000 :j :j The new mortgage deal has knocked off a couple of years off my term, so now the new mortgage free date is June 2024, suddenly making my overall aim look not that mad

When I originally started on my mf quest, I wanted to aim to get rid of t by June 2019 which is when ds leaves school, I'm aiming now to get rid of it before he's finished junior school

My aim for this year is to get it down to £42k by 31st December, so the first line of my signature, which had got into a bit of a pickle, is starting again from now, so I've got £4k to clear in 7 months, although any money in June will still be going towards getting the accounts back where they should be, then I'll have 6 months to clear the £4k. This amount does include the capital part of the normal mortgage payments, which will now be about £180 each month, so thats nearly £1k of it accounted for already , meaning £3k over 6 months = approx £500 overpayments each month. In theory this should be okay, but theres 6 weeks summer hols to fill in there as well as xmas and ds birthday :rolleyes: but hey, bring it on, I can't wait to get stuck in

Evening, well my first day back didn't go quite as planned, my alarm clock didn't go off and I woke up at 7.59 and I usually leave at 8 :eek: :eek: Somehow I managed to get ready and leave at 8.15 and still made it to work on time, but then I had that horrible rushed feeling all day

I've done my mystery shop tonight (still need to submit it though) and have had a bath and hairwash, I need to get organised tonight as I hate that stressed feeling

Good Luck with your next aim, I'm sure you'll do it!

The hospital said its a benign tumour on my finger :eek: I have to go back in 2 months for another xray and they're going to keep monitoring it and if it grows then I will need an op to get rid of it
