    You and me too. I've been paying off a car loan for the last 12 months. My last payment is in January, but I'm ignoring that and starting my MFiT proper come January 1st, probably with overpayments.

    Yes looks like the first 2 months are gonen Hopefully Martins techies can restore them as I don't have a full list of everyone. If they dont we will just have to think about something but it will make it difficult to take on new members.

    Just come back from a weekend in Dublin, really nice place and so nice it is only an hours flight. Managed not to spend too madly and used my nationwide acc to get cash out.

    DH got some money for his birthday and is thinking about paying it off the mortgage. I think he should buy something for himself but he really could not get himself to spend anything in Dublin I had to force him to buy a Guinness T-shirt in the end.

    A bit fed up myself at the moment, not truly happy with my job so might have to look elsewhere if things don't improve. I find it hard to motivate myself when working from home and right now I should be writting sales reports and answer the 40 emails had Thurs/Fri. Heyho better get back to work I guess.

  • Hi,

    Sorry we can't add anyone until we get our front page back!! I don't suppose anyone had a copy of it? Worst case scenario we could start a new MFi3 thread but I don't have all the details that were originally on the front page :(

    p.s. I'm losing money 'hand over fist' with my shares. If anyone tells you that you're a fool for paying down your mortgage when you should be putting your money into an ISA to get greater gains, send em my way!!

    How I wish I had just put my ISA money onto my mortgage, I'd be 7k closer to my MF goal!

    Hi guys

    Have been busy tiling my kitchen floor over the last week so not been on here much. Think I have a full list of those who signed up which we can use to recreate the first post if necessary. You see hoarding info does sometimes help :p
