3) For our pay £50,000 off this year we have so far achieved 29% of that goal.
4) Since our get real date in October 2008 we have paid off £38k or 21% of our debts :j:j:j:j

Hello my fellow MFWs! Hope you're all having a wonderfully lazy and chocoholic Easter!

Just wanted to share my good news with you, this week I have had a job offer! Finally!!
With some hard work I've worked out that we should be able to pay £27,750 off the mortgage by 12/12/12 with some serious saving that is, so only £2,250 short of our target (we might even be able to find this somewhere!). Not bad considering I lost my job in December. Although this does depend on the interest rate not moving (which of course it will) so I guess we could end up anywhere! But at least we should be able to start paying something off the mortgage! The job doesn't start until June as it's a yet to open Children's Home and there is a little bit of me saying don't count your chickens until you start but hopefully it will all work out!

thats superb news:jMortgage November 2003 was £135k, but thanks to this website on 28/08/12 we became MORTGAGE FREE!
Now just over 2 years we have taken on the challenge again! )(starting £237k Nov 2014) Current mortgage £232,399.82, current overpayment total £1550, years remaining= 170 -
Spent far too much on the credit card last month (which we always pay off in full) so when that's due for payment I shall be "borrowing" money from the savings account. :mad: Quite annoyed as we usually do the grocery challenge and keep a careful eye on the credit card bill but for some reason we got a bit carried away in March.
Never mind... it's another new month....Hoping to retire earlier than 67!0 -
Our new offset mortgage is now up and running, and I've applied for this years ISA as well. So far a good start for the 2nd quarter, but need to make up the £200 I was down by on Quarter 1. Fingers Crossed.0
