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!
