    Soooo glad Halifax mortgages are back online, I have missed checking it every few days!! Its like a drug!
    Love the new updated statement tho, so worth the wait, shows your OPs and how much interest you have paid etc.
    Have OP'd £345 this month so far which leaves a balance of £40103 :) Only £104 more to get into the £30ks :j :j So it has taken me since July 2012 (8 months) to get rid of another £10k :) Only another 4 lots of them to go.
    MPs left feb '08 276- Dec 13 36 :T MB Jan 10 ~ £82,377 Dec 13 ~ £29987
    EMFD was Feb 32 :eek: NOW Dec 2013 its Dec 2016

    haha, thanks.
    I think I have about 61 months (5 yrs) left and want to poss half that so Radish is about right, would be nice to end in 2 years rather than 3 but anywhere around that would be nice :D

    Well done Pammy, that's superb :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
