    Ooh, yummy, yes please :D

    Hi there Froggy, just been catching up on your thread, well done on the new gadget (gadgets are my weakness:o) you deserve a treat and as the others have said it's all about balance and you managed to negotiate a great deal and sell some stuff into the bargain - great going Froggy :j

    I've just had a quick peak at our MFiT T2 thread as this is our half way point. The amount of people who have updated is falling off but I'm sure there are a few more to come in yet and FB is really good in that although the update date was the 12th this month he normally gives the stragglers until the end of the month. The amount of people updating is bound to fall off I guess as 'life' happens and not everyone can stay committed to a plan they made three years in advance.

    The fab news is that there is now 8 people who have acheived MF status since we started and I know a couple of others are technically MF too in that their assets equal or exceed their MF balance but they are not paying it off yet.

    I'm miiiiiiiiiiles behind where I should be at this point but I put a tough target in for myself (£40k in three years) and there is still 18 months to go and my finances are in good shape now (mind you, that's me putting the £4.5k ish aside that the tax man wants and the fact that on top of that I'm getting paid £300 a month less than I was in December due to additonal tax deductions :eek:)

    Not long now for your hols, it's great doing the countdown in 'sleeps' isn't it:j

    Jeje Froggy,

    Do you do Quidco and topcashback???

    I'll have a bacon and egg roll please if you're a greasy spoon. A slice of your much vaunted quiche if you're one of these new fancy dan upscale cafes.

    Cheers,

    Billy
