Hi everyone
Can I join too please? I doubt I will have as good a year as the past couple in terms of OPs and will hopefully be on maternity leave for at least half of it, but my target for next year is (and this is without really doing much in terms of calculations) is an extra £15k.
Cheers!Mortgage at largest: £250,000 _pale_ (March 2006)
Current mortgage (May 2014): £152,927.100 -
Hi all, can i join again please... had to drop out of 2011 challenge as we are in the process of moving and increasing the mortgage!
I have a family loan to help buy the new house that i'm still classing as my part of my mortgage and I would like to pay it back asap... I hate lending off family more than i hate lending off the banks - it's the guilt
After offsetting the equity in my current house once sold and my savings then i should owe back approx £10K plus a mortgage of £166K...
Target for 2012 = £5000
