    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    (9th Dec 2008)
    ................I have decided that as a new target , and given the current economic climate, to retain £38 k in the ISA’s and aim to pay off my £28k mortgage by the end of the MFiT challenge.

    This will leave me with £38k in Savings and £10k in debt - overall £28k better off!.......

    To give a quick update on where I am.

    I managed to meet my MFiT objective at the end of 2008. To keep myself interested I set myself a new challenge.....which I'm amazed to report I have now managed to reach, 2 months early!

    I'm really pleased with myself - and really impressed and delighted with every-one involved with MFiT.

    Everyone has done so well!

    Thanks especially to Dithering Dad (DDx) and TallGirl.

    I don't know if we are guess we are all spread around the country. I am on the South Coast and would be happy to meet up but would be difficult to coordinate I guess.
