Hi Greent
Well done on the OPs. Hope you had a good Christmas.

greent

Eek! I've not been on here in aaaaaages!

Mortgage balance as at year end = £52546.77 (31/12/11 = 76316.68)

Have OP'd this month from regular OP, cashback, council tax and a dividend payment - total OP 2075.23 - bringing our balance down to less than £50k - woo hoo!!!:j:j:j:j:j

We are now on target with regular OPs to repay our mortgage 01/12/15 (assuming that's a working day!) - so may even bring this forward a tiny amount with any extra OPs

Other than that, Mr gt has STILL not claimed his expenses :mad::(:mad::( but he PROMISES it will all be done (12 months worth!:eek:) by next week..... Hmmmm.... forgive me if I'm doubtful! :rotfl:

We have booked a centreparcs break for Feb half term - ridiculously short term this time around - they went back on 7th Jan and break up for a week 8th Feb! Am guessing summer term will be a very looooooong one...

We seem to be spending an awful lot right now - so I must get a grip on it and rein it back in for Feb

Congrats on getting below the £50k mark!

And a date less than 3 years away. You are making such great progress. Well done. :A

Hi greent, realised I'd not seen you post for a while so had a little search for your diary. Hope all is well.

Hello Cath!

Can't believe I haven't logged into MSE since the start of February!!!

Mortgage has been reducing at a usual rate - balance at this month end will be £41175 (well, it will be less than that as I have an OP in my mortgage pig of about £80 to sort out) Haven't really been making any extra OPs other than the one built into the DD. MSE has really fallen by the wayside of late

DH is currently out of work - claiming JSA of just over £70 a week - and that will be taxable. That's all we're entitled to as a family of 6!! Good job we have savings lol

Money saving/ mtge OPS are back in my mind again now - so I plan on being around a lot more

Will try and catch up on diaries as I come across them
