    Estimated payoff date with projected payments taken into account - 28/8/16.If I can achieve that I will be ecstatic :D. Anything earlier will probably entail a Papal enquiry, resulting in a miracle being declared :cool:. Buy your tacky statues here ;).

    I'll advance order one sparkly Jesus (in green) please:D
    February13 - £74990 (or thereabouts)

    How much will the sparkly statues cost? Will you make a decent profit on them to put towards your mortgage?

    Actually it will be Saint GG. In pink :). Not sure on pricing but best investigate just in case. I will go BOGOF's etc at special times. Will probably be a version of THIS, looking at spreadsheets :rotfl:.

    PS Natty. Am seriously worried about you :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    In more serious matters.....

    £1.55 daily interest - own mortgage. Scheduled below £1 March 17 (but will be paid off by then :D)
    £2.06 - btl 1.Scheduled below £2 Aug 13 :j.
    £2.29 btl 2. Scheduled below £2 Jan 14 :cool:.
    Total £5.89 rounded down ;). Scheduled below £5 Aug 14. Not acceptable :rotfl:.

    Next targets:
    BTL 1 less savings to go below 20k - 28/3/13
    BTL 1 balance to go below 30k - 1/5/13 (that can easily drop a month to 1/4/13 as only about £27 short :T) ETA - actually need £86 or with daily interest it would go back over 30k. Don't think I could cope with that :rotfl:.
    Overall balance below 100k - 1/8/13. That's a long time away :(.

    That reminds me, I really should update my mortgage figure instead of just using my diary as a wee storyboard of one embarrassing escapade after another......
