    September Update

    Hi,

    starbucks reporting in (no.180) balance at £16,900
    updated by Google docs also.

    It's been hard going and although I have'nt posted much, its very humbling and inspirational at the same time to read all the threads particulary the diaries.

    Good luck

    starbucks

    PS my thoughts are with you Floxie.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    No.6 updating - £1600 of overpayments this quarter and I'm now within £600 of my starting line again :o

    Fortunately Christmas is coming, which is the time of year I make most of my money, and I'm in a better position stock-wise than I was 12 months ago, so fingers crossed for a good one and that I've got some decent profits to stick into the offset until I need them next summer to buy the 2011 Christmas stock!

    Have updated the spreadsheet :)

    No: 131 reporting in.

    Current balance now stands at £61,600.83 :j

    I don't have an offset mortgage, but I keep a record of our 'cash' assetts - savings and ISA's and we are only £34,700 in the red!

    Well Done to everyone :beer:
