    Well done :T.

    V impressed with your organisation. Would like to do a spreadsheet for fuel but meters are at front of house so neighbours would see me taking readings regularly :o. Unless I do it at night :think:. Now, what would be more embarrassing - being seen in broad daylight every month taking meter readings or being caught occasionally taking readings by torchlight l.png
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    hi determined1

    We also have a mortgage with Halifax (July 08), we over paid £17500 in December 08. Does this mean we have to wait till Dec 09 before making any other op?

    thanks GG

    Mine are under the stairs so guess I'm quite lucky. I think the daylight option would be best :rotfl:

    Hi Catanddogs

    I can't say without knowing the details of your mortgage. E.g. Amount, if your on fixed etc. Have a look at post #13 in this thread for my understanding of the fixed rules. As always, do your own research.

    The best and prob easiest option would be to give them a call

    Absolutely fantastic progress mate. Massive congrats! :beer:

    Know how you feel with paying for decorating. I am in the same boat at the mo, but as others always say, you can't put your life on hold just so you can overpay a bit more.

    Just seeing that £40k in interest saved must feel awesome. :T
