    Thanks, we were gonna have to slow down on the overpaying anyway as we were planning to get married next year, but then changed that to 2012 or maybe a bit later now because of the baby!

    Thanks, the money side will be tight but I'm sure we will be ok, I'll make sure of it! Really want to do it so my GF gets at least a year off, even after the maternity pay goes. Really excited especially as he or she will be our first

    This is great fun - mortgages being cleared, new jobs and pay rises on the go, new babies on the way and mortgage overpayments rolling in! Let's keep the good news flowing.....

    Cheers,

  • No 206 reporting August overpayment of £797.71. Finding that im addicted to paying every single penny into the mortgage account and watching as the daily interest amount reduces. Looking forward to checking the new balance on 2 Sept when my monthly direct debit is paid......How sad is that....think I should get out more!

    I'd be the same if stupid C&G would let me do this! :D

    Decided I really have to settle down my spending a bit on my house; whilst I am pretty comfortable, I need to realise that spending so much bloody money on useless stuff (I'd set aside over £1k for decorators to come and repaint the doors in my house, since they're slightly less than perfect) would be much better spent overpaying my mortgage.

    Also (sadly) kinda worrying whether I actually want to live there, before I've even moved in... so don't want to waste anything necessarily :(
