Congrats welshlassie - looking forward to seeing your new lamb:D .
Good month for me - £1128.15!!!!!!!! Now need 'only' £7996.83 needed to match OH 50/50, then start whacking off the rest of the mortgage....
Am determined to do well this month, not a lot of crimbo presents to buy, and have a load of pigsback Boots vouchers so will be using them. If Boots don't sell it they ain't getting it;) !!!A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Morning all.
I love hearing about how well you are all feeding your piggys.
I updated my totals yesterday and am now 13.5% of the way to the cost of the kitchen.
I still can not quite beleive that I have got over £1000 just from free things on the internet - vouchers and quidco mostly - an I am not the expert some of you are :T
My family think we are mad, which will make for a 'fun' Xmas.
Keep on the good work over Xmas

Mortgage Overpayments Pot £16800 -
Ive finally received my mortgage statement. Mortgage taken out October 2005 £90,000. Closing balance on the 31st October 2006 £82,670.03!!!!! Must admit, i took out a more expensive mortgage amount, and then paid in the £3,500 i had 'over borrowed' but the rest is all my overpayments, so im really pleased with how im doing.0

Well done cat, still hoping I will bounce back sometime next year!0

Thanks HQ, im really proud of how im doing, especially as im on my own, with 2 children, so any little amount i can pay off is a bonus!!!0

Well I have £187.18 in my bank acocunt and no way to pay it off because the bank were thoroughly incompetant when they opened my account and I do not have the faciliy to pay bills online.. I am livid and as soon as I can open a decent account this one will be closed. at least while it is in there I am not spending it.
I also have another £17.70 in my 'pig' just this week.
It may yet end up being spent on taking the children to the pantomime!! lolLB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0
