    Are you going to set another target for the rest of the year?

    Revised target is £2000 but I don't think it is achievable but will try my best.

    Mortgage just come out of fixed term, and the rate has now dropped but set my payment back to what it was, so I will automatically be paying £80.86 per month starting september.

    This month is £26.31 for me though will be adding to this by the end of the month.

    have paid this for past 4 months so my total which i have not checked in with before is £105.24

    No 192 here reporting in with a "standard" OP of £500 for August.

    Not sure if I will manage any more as I'll be away for the second half of the month, might have some extra to pay in September though, that would be good.

    If I can come back from holidays :beer: without any big credit card bills then the mortgage OPs will benefit. There again my watch packed up and a duty free one might be calling.....only if the price is right though ;)
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    Congratulations poppy. If you don't mind me asking, what are your plans now with the mortgage all but gone. I've been told by a couple of people that thay have slipped into a wee bit of a malaise without the target of paying it off so I'm trying to think of what the next goal should be!

    Cheers,

    I'm going to have a few months to regroup, then i'm going to start to save for either an BTL apartment which could ultimately be a retirement home, or a house to move on to which would require work but would be fabulous when finished and with a decent garden which i don't have here and miss so much! The plan will be to do whatever with as small a loan as possible. Will find it very hard to get out of my MFW habits anyway I think! :rotfl:
