    I am now feeling a lot better but I find I have even less energy than usual.
    Nothing happening on the mortgage front.
    So I am feeling rather a fraud being being on the MFW board.

    Have a good weekend all~~ so cant believe it is March on Sunday!!

    As Upsidedown Bear said - you are a mortgage wannabe - that's genuine enough to me, you are not a fraud at all.
    I'm so pleased you are feeling better - there's only so many things you can battle at a time - and battling to feel better is the most important - overpayments are not a priority but you feeling your best is ;)

    I agree - how has it got to be March already.............

  • Not a fraud at all Beanie!! Before reading your thread I felt I wasn't a real MFW as I don't have huge amounts to throw at it. You inspired me to get going and value every smidge I pay off! We will get to our goals by plodding determinedly and encouraging each other. A pound is an achievement for me and my parents and sisters have heartily laughed at my efforts. More fool them though!! I will get there and everything I pay off means a more comfortable retirement!

    Love you! Xx
    With family, friends and pets (or any combination of them) life will be fine!

    Not a lot happening with mine either - £7 a month for the last few months and any extra money is being saved but if being here helps you at all then stay!

    Beanie, mine's tiny amounts too, and for months at a time nothing at all - but the focus is there, and I'd be in a lot more trouble if I wasn't on here!

    Thanks all.
    My energy levels are dire TBH.
    A good friend died last week so her funeral is on Thursday.
    I just cant believe I will not see her lovely shiny face again.
    Heaven has gained another shining star.
