Total mortgage payments made during January totalled £2299 which is our biggest ever monthly reduction!! :cool:
Cheers,

Well done Jock but you must be able to find another pound surely
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
Mortgage Balance = £0

Februaries mortgage payment is now off bringing us down to £22,980.
We have £22k to pay in 22 months to reach our goal! 5/10/12 : Mortgage Free0 -
Couple of things have come up which will make it difficult to add any extra overpayments on top of what we already manage each month for a bit.
Firstly it’s the mother-in-law’s 60th this year and we have decided to treat her to a holiday in the Canaries with us at the end of October. She has not been away abroad for a long time so it will be nice to treat her. She looks more 50 than 60 and is a great laugh (could not have asked for a better mother in law!) so no doubt the three of us will have a great time away.
Secondly my car was in for a service this month however it also needed new front pads, disks and one of the springs was cracked (common on VW Golf/Bora). So the bill ended up almost double what was expected. Mustn’t grumble though as the pads/disks lasted well, its been about 50k miles since I last had them replaced!
We are also off down south to stay with family for a long weekend from Thursday so will cost us a bit on fuel, eating out etc.
However still looking to break through the 20k barrier by May, wish us luck! 5/10/12 : Mortgage Free0 -
