Our mortgage balance for this chart update is £32,384
This is £871 ahead of where we needed to be to keep us in the green zone (£33,255) :cool:
Managed to make some good overpayments so far this year which has contributed to us being ahead of target.
Updated my stats via google.
Cheers all,

Good evening all, I've just submitted my total via Google. I increased the monthly payments in January, by reducing the term but other than that haven't made any other payments
Well done everyone, there will be plenty mortgage free by year 3 :T0 -
Morning Folks,
Almost certainly back on track as at this month. Another few family loans issued (I'm a wee bit ashamed to say I swithered about lending out more money but quickly came to my senses - if the mortgage eventually needs to run another month to help family in times of crisis then it's hardly the end of the world! -

Hi all,
I had a really unexpected sum of money (over £6,000) paid to my interest only mortgage account during last week.
Although it was money owing to me I had no clue it was going to be so much. This equates to about half of my planned challenge of paying 12K off the mortgage by the end date of 12/12/12.
As I am doing this alone due to dear hubbys bereavement 18 months ago, and I really don't want to share my plan personally with family/friends, it's so good to be able to let you good people know my happy news.
I'm still going to overpay as much as I can myself, but at least this has given me some peace of mind and a bit of freedom to choose whether to treat myself a little when I'm a bit down.
Good wishes to everyone this holiday weekend.
Good luck to you, it's nice when surprises go your way and as you say it can either go towards the challenge, or provide a little treat.
Ideally you should do both !RosieTiger - Highest £242,000 Feb 2004 :mad:
