Mortgage Free in Three Yrs

Hi everyone,
Love the bathroom TG, I now feel that my pale yellow bathroom suite and peach tiles (YUK!) are now in dire need of updating. (Not chosen by me I hasten to add!)
Yes I also use Tresemme (or Tresemabel as my DS always calls it !? Think it must have been something to do with Auntie Mabel who he used to watch on kids TV when he was much, much smaller...). I get the 900ml bottles when they are 2 for 1 at Wilko's and decant them into smaller, more manageable bottles for the shower.
Congrats to Superfastgran and Jonesy-Bonesy.
This thread feels more and more like an extended family. Hope everyone is feeling happy.

morning all!
just about to pm TG with my update - am just about managing to keep on target-ish by the skin of my teeth. i think it's because everything has gone up, therefore we have to work extra hard to get where we wanted to be!?:rolleyes:
my target for the 3 years was 25k - we have paid off £10,382.
some minifigs: interest/day at start = £15.53, now = £14.07.
this means a) almost sub £14/day interest and b) we are paying approx. £45 interest/month less than when we started:j
i have just started stoozing with a venegence, as funnily enough credit cards are offering some silly deals at the mo and i have loads to list on ebay if i only had the time......
good luck to all - cannot wait to see the chart again!
CONGRATS to all on your babies and forthcoming wedding too!0 -
