  • transferred £1693 from my bank to mortgage lender-final redemption fee yesterday.

    They told me they will send me a letter within 5 working days.

    The mortgage lender will still hold name Land Registry of Scotland

    I will take letter to solicitors and they will change deeds to my name

    total cost £200+

    I'm not declaring myself MF until deeds are in my name,hopefully next week or so.

    ps. I tried logging into my online mortgage account tonight and it's closed,so things are moving

  • No 100 here please can you put me down for a total of £725 for December please.

    Smashed my prediction of £5000 for overpayments for 2014 total will be £7810 just wondering should I round it up to £8000 by making another overpayment of £190!!

    Many thanks JCL for running this so well.:beer:
  • #150 here with my Novmber update of £500 OP.

    Might as well do my update for December for £500 as well as I have the SO set up for that.

    Had a bit of a wobble at the start of Nov and had to cancel the SO for the OP as wasn't sure I would have the money, but then got an unexpected bonus from work, so have made the £500 OP for November, even though it was a bit late....phew!
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    Went AWOL again.

    Over the last 3 months we've had a new drive way and new bathroom done. Bathroom involved a complete gutting, and everything being moved round. Our ISAs took a bit of a bashing, but we've both got 6 months take home stashed in them which we're happy with for now.

    Spent some time this week reassessing finances, getting back to grips with our money again and today I rang up and made a £1000 overpayment - the first in addition to our DD since May.

    We are now on a mortgage finish date of March 2039 so we've knocked almost 3 years off the end date during 2014, with the standard overpayment going out on Monday. I really hope I can get together a bit extra for another December overpayment and I'm hoping that in 2015 I can be a bit more consistent and focused with finances.

    So Number 24:

    September: 642.54
    October: 642.54
    November: 1642.54

    Hello all! This week's update is done.

    Congratulations black taxi - superb! :)

    Calicocat - I had given you number 140 but then had a clearout of everyone who hadn't posted an overpayment. I've added you back on as number 5 this time and updated the spreadsheet with your overpayment. :)

    Nearly into the last month of the year. Keep it going all!

    Have a great weekend everyone. :)
