    Hi Guys

    SO leaving my account today for a meagre £120! I know every penny counts and it was my decision to put some money in an ISA before the tax year closed but I still feel a bit sulky about not being able to pay off more ;)

    Am ahead of target so far, having achieved 34% of my OP target for this year.

    Well done everyone else !

    PS Have updated the chart Cake

    I have OP'd another £150 today so total for this month so far is a whopping £600 :eek: I can't believe it but my frugal living is really really paying off. I am very chuffed (can you tell?) So another month knocked off my term :T

    so total for March so far - £600 (this does include the extra £100 on my normal mortgage payment from me lowering the term but I am including this as my normal payment was £594 and is now £696 so still an OP in my eyes

    MFW's, my mortgage is now under 3k, hard for me to believe. Another £690 paid this month leaving me with just £2,897 to pay until my mortgage is clear.


    Keep up the good work everyone, you'll get there in the end.:)
