    I say post wherever you want to taxi... We're equally mad over on MFW though... just obsessed with overpaying mortgages rather than debts! :p :rotfl:

    Nipped to Morrissons this afternoon with DD2 and bought 4 big beef joints for the freezer amongst a lot of other stuff silverside and top roast are on offer at £5 per kilo....spent £109 but we have plenty of stuff for a few weeks.

    Also nipped in to shell garage to pick up a free £10 argos gift card so will put that with the free £20 on pre pay cc that mobile phone company gave me and that will do for DGDs birthday pressies for next month.Think I will start getting my fuel from Shell again as it's the same price as asda,morrisons and perhaps I'll get enough vouchers during the year to pay for the kiddies presents....every little helps.
  • Hi Taxi,

    Well done on your overpayments so far including the mortgage, I would like you to stay here as your diary was one of the first I read and I been in awe at your determination.

    Hope you're feeling much better today?

    Beanie I do have two diaries now as started one on MF last night xx

    Am thinking my sig is misunderstood....as a couple of people haven't understood it the last few days....can somebody help me write it better.

    My mortgage I owe £44602.72 and I have savings of £21071.00 which means that if I deduct the savings from what's outstanding I need £23531.72 to clear the mortgage.

    the £44602.72 figure changes on the 1st of the month
    the savings and the what I owe bit changes frequently during the month every time i add to the savings
