Thanks for the inspiration

Hi all MSE'ers

I just wanted to say hello to all you lovely people and thank you for the inspiration you have given me to sort my finances out.

I discovered these forums a few weeks ago and have been madly lurking ever since picking up loads of hints and tips.

I'm posting this on the MFW board because although I currently have no desire to be entirely MF (due to a completely unbeatable mortgage deal and a desire to upgrade in a few years time) I will be increasing my mortgage in the short-term to pay off some outstanding long term loans in April but would love to be able to pay this increase, along with additional funds we withdrew for rennovation as soon as possible.

The aim is to get back to the level we would have been at on our original mortgage as soon as possible.

Anyway - just thought I'd say hi and thanks and keep up the fabulous inspiration! :D
