I've not even reached Target 1 yet - OH decided to get his own nectar card so we've not had the usual joint effort. It looks like we can join our cards up somehow so I need to look into that."Think of many things, do one"

November round up. Just the mortgage update as all financial goals reached and I’ve started working towards 2023 goals but won’t report on those until January.
Mortgage balance - £43,741.38
Mortgage percentage left to pay - 16%
72 months left.
November monthly interest £95.46
Lots of satisfaction this month in overpaying £2k and seriously reducing the balance and we now own 84% of the house!!!

Just renegotiated our contract with BT for another 2 years. Bill increased by pennies but got Netflix thrown in free so I can cancel our sub saving us £7 a month. They upgraded our broadband as well. Pretty happy with that. As much as you might say we will go elsewhere o really didn’t want the hassle of having to move.
