Get yourself a 'Mortgage Pig'

comping_cat

Thanks Laurie, actually, looking at my first mortgage statement, i owed £92K, because of a load of charges they added on (i did get £1000 back) so from £92K im down to £83.5K, i can hardly believe it!!!!! Hope to stay on target to pay it off in 10 years now (rather than the 27 left)

Wow well done Catowen :j , roughly how much do you overpay each month? we have 12 years left and would love this to be paid off much sooner.

I try to pay £300 extra each month (not always possible) and some months i can get quite a bit more from the mortgage pig from the paid 2 clicks i do, and any extra little jobs or savings i make!!!!

Thats fantastic! Way to go!!
I'm glad we all post our progress on here as it keeps us focusses and I love to hear about everyone owing less to the banks!

I go on the lightspeed panels I'm up to £10.40, can with draw when i've got £25, its free so I don't mind!
Some people sell their pigsback vouchers on ebay - I think theres probably people that can't get to the shops and buy them for sending as presents so you get near the face value - if you want to make cash out of them.
I've done quite well so far this year on pineconeresearch although I don't know if they are recruiting at the moment - thats surveys for luncheon vouchers which all supermarkets will take as payment for your grocery shopping.
What is the free fivers and mutuals points please?

Well Peppa the Pink Pigsback Mortgage Pig is filling up nicely with £2 and 20p. At the last count I had nearly £50 in there and only started it in late July!! Hubby is now contributing to it too, since I stuck it on the Kitchen Worktop!! We also have a smaller "James" Pig for coppers and siler with about £10 in there and £6 already bagged of coppers!!

Once I get to £50 I shall be off down to the bank with my bucketful of change to take it off the mortgage. :T

Oh and I made my first overpayment today...£50 from my current account...just to see if it worked...:rotfl:

I'm aiming for a budgeted £50/month off the mortgage and any savings I make will be rounded up at the end of the month and added onto it...aiming for minimum of £100 in total off the mortgage each month!

Current Mortgage = ~£99K over 12yrs and 9mnths remaining.
