    Hope it goes smoothly :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Time for my yearly report, 3 years as an MFW.


    Just done my calcs and knocked £14k off the mortgage and overall £28k better off, mainly thanks to a sharesave maturing.


    Really chuffed as this is £12k better than the year before.

    Hi SD just in the middle of the process with the solicitors, our buyers are being a pain wanting all sorts of documentation, so just wading through all of that at the moment, who knows when it will all happen.
