  • Hello all

    Just updated my signature to include my new challenge (thanks for adding it FB). As my original target of clearing our further advance (originally £30,000) will easily be achieved by 12/12/12 I am now also aiming to get our main mortgage into 5 figures by 12/12/12, although any overpayments are likely to be minimal to say the least until the first target is achieved.

    I think I need to wait until the normal payment has cleared before making my first overpayment so I hope to do that between now and 12/09/11 so that it can be included in the official update.

    Best wishes
    Hooby

  • Have just updated using the Google form.

    After moving some funds around a bit and overpaying, our balance today is £141k dead on. Very pleased with that and am crossing all my appendages that interest rates will stay as they are for a while longer! :)
    Highest mortgage debt - £167k in Dec 2008 :(
    MFiT-T2 challenge - starting balance of £144875 in July 2011 - aiming for £130k by December 2012
    Currently overpaying & hoping to be mortgage free by 2025 :D
  • I'm going to be reporting a balance of £23,848.

    I'm amazed how well we seem to be doing. I predicted we should be at £26,250 to be on track for where we said we would be by this stage of the challenge. This balance is where I expected to be around the end of March next year, so I have increased my amount I am ahead by an extra 2 months since the last update, where I was 4 months ahead. :D

    Pretty pleased we have been so succesful on one income, and will keep pushing on as much as we can before the next update.
