    Good luck Hazel - it will only be a month or two till you break the 100k barrier and that will be a great boost to you both :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Hi guys, Sorry ive not been around much! Been working quite a few nights. All in the name of boosting my pay packet! January and February mortgage payments down and approximately £945 paid off woo hoo! Not paid any extra overpayments yet but have just discovered i can pay overpayments using online banking more of an excuse to pay more off!!!

    Hey hazel
    well done on the OPs so far!! online banking will certainly make it more addictive I imagine! ;)
    what kinda things are you finding are helping with the saving/OPing? (apart from finding 1p's and 2p's ;)) I found batch cooking/ down-branding when shopping and checking all my bills/insurances was a surprising way to save alot without really doing anything! plus the world of ebay/amazon ...tho I still havent quite mastered ebay yet!
