  • Thanks for sharing. Another month of sighing a sigh of relief. :D My 3rd favourite day of the month, after pay day and the mortgage going out day.
  • Me too and roll on the day there is no mortgage payment to come out at all :D
    Mortgage Free as of 31/5/11 :j:j:j:j:j:j:j
  • Whoops, I have only just had time to update my signature. Better late than never :eek:

    I have had some good news. I have received a letter from an asset company saying that I still had some shares in a company I was previously employed with. After they have taken their charges I could be left with £400 if it all goes through correctly. I will of course put it in the mortgage pot when the money arrives. It could take 6 weeks though. As it is money I didn't know I had I won't miss it :T

    I do hope you are all having a good weekend. It is duck weather here :rotfl:

  • Hi All


    Bad news first

    My back is not any better especially first thing in the morning.

    Good News.

    In Dec 2009 we borrowed £4000 from my inlaws and have been paying back £100 a month apart from when I was off sick. Today I have received an early birthday present (its not till May) We owed them £2000 as of today and they have written the rest of the balance off. So I have just contacted the mortgage company and arranged to up our repayments by another £100. I will not miss the cash as I have been paying it out anyway. The new payments will take effect from the end of March :D

    So thanks to my Mother and Father in law :T:T

    Hope you are all well

    MOOC xx

    Aw, that's nice :D.

    PS - I'm an orphan now, are their any openings in your family by any chance :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I saw your siggy on GG's thread and thought wow have I read that right? After another sip of wine and looking through my better eye I saw £6k. How exciting to be so near to the end. Your daily interest must be so low !
