Thanks Black Taxi..yes I cant wait to start properly pushing money into the mortgage (luckily we can OP as much as we like at no penalty) instead of at pesky CCs. 31 March can't come soon enough

Keep at it brizzledfw, like black taxi I migrated from the Debt free wannabee boards - different user name then - a new start and all that but as my signature shows, you can get on top of this given luck and perseverance.

OK. By a stroke of pure bad time management (very busy these last two or so weeks), I've not processed the updates yet.:eek:

The plan was to get them done by last night at the latest, so it would just be a case of publishing the data this evening. Forgot I was out last night....:o

Only got in at 7.30 this evening - now had some tea and a bit of children time, so I'm now going to have a look at what needs updating.

Suspect I'll be a at least an hour, so probably not worth checking back before 10pm.

Apologies. Promise to be more organised for next time around...

Right - firstly a big thanks for everyone who has updated so far, for what is a pretty busy time of year. If you have not updated yet, please do so as and when you can. Updates for previous charts also accepted.

So, here's chart 04, the end of the first year of this third three year challenge:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?hl=en_GB&key=0AnhcWfGMRVgddE1iTjMwaFQ3Y3EtOS1GQ0NkUnUwdUE&single=true&gid=8&output=html

Must confess to rushing through this rather quickly and haven't studied the results much - just copied and pasted into the logged results sheet.

Usual disclaimer - if there's anything a miss with your details, please PM me and I'll sort out as soon as I can.

Well done everyone

Aim to get chart 05 up and running during the weekend, so you can see where you need to be for the next 3 months (March 12th 2014). I'll keep logging into Google docs over the next few days and weeks to mop up any late comers, but if your balance has not updated, feel free to PM me to give me a nudge.

An early Merry Christmas everyone and here's wishing you all a financially secure 2014.

Financial Bliss.

Thanks someday. The support on the DFW boards has been humbling and so inspiring. Given the fact that I knew that I had to get everything under control over 10 yrs ago..if I do it this time ( and we will;)) it'll be largely down to the advice and support of these boards.

sorry sorry sorry. Whilst flicking through the thread in my phone I have mistakenly reported a post as spam. Don't know which one it was just a pop up came up to thank me for reporting spam. Can't see a way to undo help I've reported some innocent fellow MFITer. Who ever you are I am so sorry. Help what can I do
