Thanks Tilly
If it was up to me, I would pay £10,000 off the mortgage and save £2,000 towards a holiday in September
However, as the home improvements (painting hall/stairs/landing, spare bedroom & exterior woodwork and carpet for stairs, landing & 3 bedrooms) are now being paid for from Mr MWC's share money, it frees up my bonus to OP the mortgage :TMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Then all is good MWC :j.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

I've submitted our MFiT-T3 update - total mortgage reduced by £4,506 in the first 3 months :T We're ahead of target (reduce mortgage to £125,000) and I'm now quietly confident that we'll be under £100,000 (just) by December 2015:j

Today's news:
- 2 x £10 JL vouchers received from CC
- received letter from BS confirming March OP - remaining term on FA = 12 years, 2 months - by my reckoning this means we have knocked 2 years, 11 months off so far :T
- Mr MWC has agreed to open FD current account - £100 cashback and we can drip feed some of his share money into the 6% regular saver
- sold 1 box of eggs for £1.25
- 3 eggs laid
- Thai-style fishcake + stir-fry veg for dinnerMortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000

Hurrah it's the weekend :j
I was checking my boss's calendar this morning and we are only in the office together 12 days in the next 7 weeks :cool: and 4 of those are 1/2 daysHappy days :rotfl:
5 eggs today - a white one, a green one and 3 brown ones
GG & Tilly, I'm wondering if I've diddled you out of a few eggs and the recent eggs I've been attributing to Miss Q are in fact from Miss LRH ??? They are bigger than I would expect from Miss LRH to start with but I'm not 100% convinced they're Miss Q's - I'll try to catch one of them in the act over the weekend
No money news today. I was excited to see a savings watch e-mail from Nationwide but it turned out to be for a naff fixed rate bond!Mortgage at highest (April 2008): ~£195,000
