I already have a plan to pay of the mortgage by December 2012, so if I can achieve this with an extra push and be done for July 2012 I'll having my own Olympic style firework party.
Outstanding mortgage £26,160 as at today; within the next week or so this will be consolidated with savings into a revolving credit loan, so I will see a one off marked reduction, which will fluctuate, maybe even upwards for a short period in the middle of this year. But the plan is to chuck every spare penny I can muster to kill this beast, once and for all.
Good luck to all others taking part in this challenge!!Mortgage

Proud to be dealing with my debts!! :j0 -
Welcome Kiwisaver (#69) and Hawkofeagles (#70)
Clodagh Truble and me-shelly both you amounts have been updated (thank you!)
Please folks - don't increase debt by paying debt! (ie by going over your overdraft limit or getting an overdraft!) - this is supposed to be a fun way of clearing debt NOT getting more stressed over it!Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup
