  • Here's a quick collection of figures for chart 07.

    https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en_GB&key=0AnhcWfGMRVgddE1iTjMwaFQ3Y3EtOS1GQ0NkUnUwdUE&single=true&gid=11&output=html

    I know the colours are incorrect, and I need to check the totals too, but I'm calling it an evening as I've been up since 0530 this morning. Best I can do in the time I've had this evening. I'll address any chart sum / figure shortfalls tomorrow - honest this time.

    FB.
    My % to date and Upd? columns don't look right, I didn't give an update this time, also my % has dropped from 58.31% in ch6 to 11.98% in ch7.

    Wow BT that's superb :j. You would never have believed you'd do it in 3 years, let alone 2 :beer:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    ive never saved/invested in my life,always took out 1k/3k bank loans


    when I was 47, 5 years ago,deciding to be MF,best financial decision I ever made.


    now I have a chance to build a nest egg,wont be rich,but comfortable.


    also with spare disposable income now,i can spend without taking on any debt.cafe,restaurants,short city breaks/holiday

    BT: Well done!

    But why is the clearance figure so different from the £1000 in your previous. If it is an administrative payment then it sounds too large to be legal.

    Mortgage Free: 1st October 2014 :j
  • I have money in bank,not paid it down


    so £1000 + £693 = £1693


    so balance s still £1693 mortgage
