    Thanks SR Ya i do like the nice stuff in life so why not its going to be there for a few years to come

    Pay day has come and gone now so after moving stuff about i have

    15k EF 5k of this is for overpaying but i need to wait till i remortgage end of September :]
    so i could technically pay 15k of the mortgage and ow 50k woooo but as we all know i wont be doing that haha

    Messing around with the over payment calculator Overpaying would save you £33,194 in interest alone, If you overpay a lump sum of £15,000, you'd be mortgage free 8 years and 11 months earlier.

    Just a bit of fun but that wont be happening

    Also i could possible overpay 10k once iv remortgaged and leave 5k EF as this would easily cover the mortgage for 15 months as the payments are cheaper or so just a thought in my head atm tho

    Tis done... I dislike that moment too!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
