    Locoblade's mortgage spreadsheet is so very helpful to do this comparison quickly.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Is your brain hurting with all those calcs AH? :D
    We cashed in our 3 endowments got compensation for 2 of them and a token £100 from the third. Paid off a lump sum, bought OH's car and converted to repayment. Best thing we could have done, most endowments nowadays are carp - charges are too high!
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    hi FV
    worth it if you already buy the paper

    not so if you don't and buy just for codes
    most coupon rewards are £5 so by the time you deduct paper costs it may not be worth while.
    SAT. paper 90p SUN. £1 odd
    info re:code collection

    Each 4-week collection period consists of up to 8 Unique Numbers and can start on any weekend that you like, but you must collect cards from both Saturday's Weekend magazine and Sunday's Live magazine. Once you have entered your first Unique Number, the dates in your current collection period will show up in a drop down box on your Account Summary page. If you enter 7 out of 8 Unique Numbers over 4 consecutive weeks, you qualify for the Gold Reward of your choice. If you miss more than 1 Unique number, you can either choose to enter 5 out of 8 Unique Numbers and collect a Silver Reward, or reset your account, which will clear your current Unique Numbers for you to start collecting for a Gold Reward again. If you miss 4 Unique Numbers in any collection period we will automatically 'reset your account' and you will start a new collection cycle when you next log in. If you haven't signed up yet you can do it right now,
