Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

Lotta_Littlies

I've managed £120 for February made up of:

£41.00 Mortgage pig and frog
£41.47 Bingomania deal from a couple of weeks ago
£24.54 Ditto for dh
£10.00 for cancelling the window cleaners who were useless totalling £117.01 so I rounded it up to £120.

I'm very pleased with that overpayment considering it's all money I wouldn't have missed. I've also been sorting out some eBay stuff for when they've got their next cheap listing day.

I am surprised about the hold Rudi, my mortgage pig, has over me. Being on a very low budget I didn't think I had any money left to save but Rudi managed to 'eat' at least £4 -5 already and I haven't missed that money.

Never thought a mortgage pig can make such a difference. Thanks for this thread

Blingda contains £75 this month (I put the odd change back) I also have a couple of ebay cheques which I am putting in the account with my change so I'll just round it up to £100.. I also have £22 quidco, £35 greasypalm, £6 topcashback, £65 paypal and £6 mrscashback all being paid into that account as well. as it is money I would otherwise not even have it will all be paid off a bill.. £115 on the mortgage, I am only allowed to overpay £119 a month and I've already paid £3. I will pay the rest off a credit card debt.

WOW!!! I just added that up and it is around £230 just this MONTH!!! excellent!! The extra £115 that won't be paid off the mortgage will cover monthly paymnts on a few things!

We started our mortgage pig (Sratchy) in February. Things are very tight for us and so we can't add in any savings we make using vouchers etc so have just been putting in the odd pound here and there, loose change or whatever is in the purse. Have decided to count it up at the end of each month so we counted up yesterday and made a huge £55.50! I'm so pleased. Thanks for a great idea and scratchy (from pork sratchings) has become part of the family. :beer:

Well done Lotta Littlies, Pigpen, Looneyleo and Catowen :beer:
Keep up the good work ladykibby don't beat yourself up every little helps :T

I've managed to pay £400 off this month, well last month actually, about £50 in percy, £240 from my wages and £110 from not paying council tax :T Well happy with that.

This month already should be £110 and about £150 from wages...not that I'm counting my piggies before they go to market :rotfl:

kiwi.. that is fantastic!!!! I wish I was allowed to pay so much!! Or rather I was ABLE to pay so much!! I'd love to half the length of time on my mortage!! Lord help them when I have paid all the rest of my debts off next year.. I'll be making the £1200 I am allowed to overpay after that!!

There are sites on the internet that you can register with, that will pay you for clicking on websites and searching for different things. They will also pay a commision if you buy something - ive taken out my car insurance via one of these sites (TOPCASHBACK) and im waiting for a cheque for £120!!!! (this will be going straight into my mortgage!!) I do these daily clicks, and normally get a few cheques a month. Its not loads, but every little extra helps!!!
