    108 on the list reporting in with a £1000 payment for feb.

    I actually have two mortgages so I made a over payment to each this month.

    I would like to think I could do this regularly but it's very unlikely.

    Playing with mortgage overpayment calculators gave me a little push so I stretched myself :D

    OP calculators- my favourite hobby! Also enjoy rightmove looking at detached houses cos once this mortgage is beaten we can think about moving away from our noisy neighbours

    Made another last OP in Jan so total for jan is £815 :)

    Do not think I will be able to do any next month as I have a new job :j which means I have to work a month in hand when at the moment I get paid weekly. So I will have about 6 weeks without any pay :( and then I may only get 2 weeks pay as I start mid Feb. Will be a tricky few weeks but at least I have the extra money I normally OP to fall back on.
    MPs left feb '08 276- Dec 13 36 :T MB Jan 10 ~ £82,377 Dec 13 ~ £29987
    EMFD was Feb 32 :eek: NOW Dec 2013 its Dec 2016
    MF new target Dec 16 REACHED!! :j

    I lurk on Rightmove too but I want a little place that has been completely done as in the tv makeover type programmes so I can sell buy a smaller cheaper place and have no mortgage ever again!!! And no DIY lol
