I had forgetten about the BoE rate decision, so thanks for posting this Graham. It's good news for me as I have started the next round of mortgage overpayments and have overpaid £17k over this week. I have a further £10k to overpay this year (I am allowed 10% and had a £270k mortgage) but I am holding off while the last bills come in from my renovations just in case.

My mortgage stands at £253k with the bank owning 56.22% of my house, which I guess means it's actually 'their house'. Still over a year to go for my 50% equity challenge, but I'm on course to hit the target especially with these low rates.

Our gas and electricity supplier just put through an inflation busting price hike. Things are going to come to a head if we have another harsh winter. Lots of families are going to have to choose whether or not to have their heating running.

We have been impacted but have offset the effects somewhat by applying Martin's Money Saving advice to help reduce our outgoings while still maintaining our standard of living.

Make up your mind MFW_10 YEARS, aka MFW_2010, aka Renovation Man ...... in one post you boast about overpaying by £17k in a week and then state you are applying Martin's Money Saving advice to help reduce your outgoings .....
