mortgage help

Hi
I am after some advice on what to do now, my 4 endowment policies have left me with a large short fall to pay off mortgage No1.

Do I surrender these policies now and pay off a lump sum from the capital or let them mature in 2011. I can afford to over pay the mortgage by £600 per month.
Any advice appreciated.
