Black Taxi as ive said i appreciate everything FB is doing and i wish someone else would back me up but all i mean is last twice we have waited when we have all put our figures in and waited impatiently, i wasnt expecting figures midnight 12th i just mean i have noticed a decline slowly and now FB has said figures 13th or 14th and now 15th we are still waiting, fair enough all done voluntarily and good on him i just mean i notice his enthusiasm is waning and a lot of people do sit and wait for the updates. No he is not paid and i will reiterated its all done by the goodness of FB updating but day 3 people are waiting no new about bike rides kids needing attention, throwing towels in etc etc etc i just mean someone can take over if he comes on and says enough is enough, he is nearing end himself and most likely cant be bothered has more important issues, and hey he can blame me for POLLUTING his blog and putting him off but come on 100s of people waiting by his every word - not actually me!

OK. What’s your issue here then?

I work full time, I’ve a wife and two kids. Keeping a roof over my head and supporting my family are my primary goals.

I’ve also an interest in clearing my mortgage early, thus my interest in this MFW sub-board and the MFiT challenge I’m running. I’ve also pledged to run a third three year challenge and I’m fully intending to go ahead with that.

As it happens, I had daughter issues on Wednesday and didn’t get around to putting chart 11 out.

Wife was on laptop last night, so I fired up our ancient desktop. After a massive amount of windows updates,flash, Firefox etc, I decided I didn’t want to wait all night for it to apply the updates and turned in.

This evening I got in late – left to cycle home at 8pm.

OK, I’m a few days late, but I expect I’ll get chart 11 done on Saturday now. Not even sure why I’m justifying myself to you. If you don’t have anything constructive to add, please move on.

Hey ya'all

I will report in my totals through the update form.
For the first time in this challenge my balance has increased but...
We are off to Florida.:j
FB, there is no way without having signed up to this challenge that this could have happened. The challenge you initially set yourself became our challenge too, and although we might not quite get over the line (we'll get as close as we can), it has allowed us to be in a position where this type of extravagance is occasionally possible. So we will meet the mouse, scoff the 46" pizza and cycle (or segway - it is America!) around to our hearts content. You contributed to that family picture.

Thanks again FB and well done to everyone. Well almost everyone - you know who you are.

Someday Soon

Thanks FB-This challenge has been/ and still is brilliant and very motivating. Thank you for all you continued hard work (and your hard work thus far) .
I, for one, don't expect you to eat, sleep and breathe MF3. I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this and will wait patiently (as long as it takes) for you to do the updates
Well done everybody so far in your mortgage free quests and good luck to us all for the rest of this challenge.

FB there is no need for justifications on your part you have done and are doing a brill job and it is appreciated by most of us and for the moaners they can always run their own challenges.:A:A:A:A:A

I am so grateful to you for agreeing to do another challenge when there is no compulsion to do so and when you are being moaned at every reason not to do so - but for those of us who are not at the finish line yet it is great and to be honest not a task I would like to take on to be so consistent in doing this for 2 and a half years when inevitably real life will get in the way deserves a medal not criticism.

Are you actually part of this challenge anyway under a different name as I can't see your name on the list and don't recall you having posted before - just wondering

Review of changes made today...

Post #3 - announcements.
Brought this up to date to reflect chart 10 published and next chart being chart 11, to be published on 12th September.

Post #4 - Who's updated.
Altered the who's updated chart to reflect publish of chart 10 data.

Post #5 - Link to charts.

Chart 11 can be found here: Chart 11

Post #6 - Mortgage free roll of honour.
Updated this chart to include setmefree2. If you have cleared your mortgage completely and should be in this chart, but are not, please post here or PM me and I'll get that altered.

I've also applied the outstanding updates to chart 10.

Thanks for the support everyone and keep plugging away - there are quite a few people in single thousand figures and would be great if the mortgage could be cleared before the end of the challenge.
