    *~*~*~Well done Kaz, thats brilliant.~*~*~*
    Know what you mean about all the plans for the extra money though. I already have plans for mine in a couple of years including new kitchen, new bathroom, poss loft conversion, you name it I have a plan for it.... or I might save harder and buy a better house outright rather than upgrade this one, who knows.

    So whilst I was hoovering upstairs, my annual mortgage statement landed on the mat. I thought it might be the redemption figure. At the end of the statement it had a figure for 31st March. I text DH about that and something else and he asked when I was paying it. I wondered if they may know the figure by now so I rang again.
    I have just paid off the final £889 + something pence of our mortgage.
    :D so happy it ain't true :D

    oh wow - CONGRATULATIONS!! :beer:

    Good news now that Halifax have sorted out their internet banking I can now see accurate statements whenever I want.

    Due to this have paid an extra £70 to the mortgage, made up of isa interest, santander 123 interest and my halifax reward £5 a month.

    Whoop Whoop!

    Just in my ISA account (filling out form to transfer it somewhere with slightly less disappointing interest :mad:), and have found that a further £71 interest has been applied on Friday. haven't got a clue why, but I'm not querying it! :T

    So, a very unexpected wee bonus to the overpayment pot...off to add it to my signature. :beer:

    Many thanks for doing all the updates, Voucherman. You're a star!
