    I certainly intend to do a few extra shifts just incase next month's is the last pay packet... And I should get a discount card now I've been there over 3 months. :j
    Hoping to retire earlier than 67!
  • Just checked with B/Soc online, total paid off for Jan is £2618!!!
    We decided to downsize holiday plans for later in the year so we could put a lump sum towards OP. I'm much happier now.

    Everyones doing really well so far, lets keep it going...

    Paid off as Monday

    £2.gif5.gif6.gif8.gif6.gif.10.gif7.gif

    Will let TG know when I get the exact balance on Monday, will be a few pence out.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I was delighted when I managed to pay off £2500 a week ago but today I received a letter telling me I have been charged a £10 administration fee :mad:

    My monthly payment has also bee reduced, which I didn't want, I wanted the term of the mortgage reduced. I will phone them on monday and see if I can get it sorted out.

    Will I be able to do this easily or is it likely to lead to more charges?

    I should know what I'm doing as I have paid off a mortgage before, but I paid that off in far larger lump sums and can't remember all the ins and outs.
