  • OMG that is amazing - just looking at your signature you have paid loads off in the last 3 years. Can I ask how you have managed it? I am always in awe of people who can pay such large sums of their mortgages. I can only pay 5% pa and to be honest it takes me all year to do it too:eek:

    It doesn't matter how little one pays, just do it as often as you can!

    Yesterday was payday, and it sucks :mad:
    I am working in a new place for six months and my salary is reduced to about 75% of previous pays. Even with some overtime payment, total salary was significantly lower than last month. i will have to bear with that for another five months :lipsrseal
    Worried about meeting the target for this year OP. there is not much room for cutting further on spending. The only way is find some overtime work and chase up to get mileage refund for commuting to work.
    Things should be much better after six months....:j
    keeping my spirit up.

  • Well i made the first overpayment today of £200, Not a huge amount but with a car MOT and service looming need to keep some back. Seing the bigger target of £1m for everyone has just made me even more determined
