    You are doing well. And imagine how great you will do when working. I was really conservative on SMP and only OP'd by about £55 per month during that period. Go you :T

    Well we are on the MFW board ;)
    My life doesn't revolve around it, but I do want to pay it off ASAP so I can free up my money for other things whilst I'm still young

    Good for you Littlebit!!

    I am loving your diary by the way, the little and often payments I really like because in themselves they seem small but added together really make a difference. I, like you get a kick out of saving even small amounts to pay off the mortgage.

    I tend to ignore people that knock you for trying to pay off the mortgage, these people will still be working when we are enjoying the fruits of our labours in the years ahead. :D

    Well it seems you are spending every last penny you have on it. There is more to life than working to pay off a huge debt

    I made my point already. Is it that hard to understand?

    Yes it is, because your 'point' was pointless and unhelpful.
