Just back from Florida yesterday morning. We had a fantastic holiday and don't think we spent too much, just need to have a little check on what has gone onto the credit card since Sunday now.
I have had a quick round up of our mortgage and we have 8 payments left to make. If we were able to squeeze a little extra out between now and then with our left over holiday money, we could almost be clear by the 12/12/12 deadline but I'm not sure how viable that is. Probably not very viable at all .
Glad to see we have some more people who are almost there, very well done to you all

we just had breakfast out and an icecream in a cafe in the afternoon. we have a holiday coming up
our balance reads £0 (i screen printed the internet banking page!) but we still have the interest to pay- just over £4, but didn't get a chance to sort it with the bank. was hoping for the moment we walk in and pay the balance and leaving feeling woohoo but it wasn't like that they just will transfer the balance from my current account. they were very keen not to work out the balance that day so for all you people near to paying off mortgage might be worth asking them to calculate it in advance!!

Anyway its all good tho it has been planned for so long so not crazy super over the top excited but will be when boarding the plane for our holiday i think

thanks everyone for your support, will continue to follow this thread as i think alot of people will be joining me as MF-ers soon

Aiming to be mortgage free before you :eek:

And on that front, I've just posted in the questionaire thread I raised sometime ago regarding a third 3 year challenge:

We could pay it off now (temped so I can beat you ) but have decided to let it run its course with the regular and fixed over payments which will come off in the next couple of months.

I will achieve my goal of being mortgage free before I turn 40 (Jan 2013) :eek: and also this MFiT-T2 challenge!

Cheers,
Jock

Hi everyone - another challenge nearly finished!

I've updated via GoogleDocs, with a balance of 183,500 of outstanding mortgage less ISA and some of the offset savings - I'll still leave it until the final December update to decide how much of the offset savings will be available for the mortgage, and how much I plan to spend on home improvements and other stuff.

Well done everyone!
