    Favourite time of the month (1day early but won't have chance tomorrow)! Another hugely successful month and definitely maintaining momentum.
    • Total OP's - £727.72
    • Closing Balance - £119,839.07
    • Net Reduction - £ 1,210.19
    • Daily Interest - £6.53 (7p reduction)
    • % Loan Remaining - 88.12%
    • LTV - 54.23%
    • Ave Net Reduction since diary - £1,077.36 (steadily climbing)

    Very exciting to colour in 2 bricks and to drop into a new 10k category :j

    The plan is to post some previous year comparisons tonight or tomorrow night.

    Not got round to comparisons yet, but may well get it done before sleep time.

    Another successful month is done with a fresh one starting tomorrow. Whilst on a dog walk earlier i was weighing up the chances of being MF by 45 and it does seem a possibility if I can find an extra 10k from somewhere! I'm hoping compound effects of interest may account for 50% if I can get some favourable mortgage deals along the way.

    Thankfully only 1 birthday in June and that's my own so doesn't count!

    62p TT this morning and meter readings done. We're way in credit and can switch our deal without penalty in 2 weeks so some cash back on the horizon. I need to work out how to get my cash back off first utility so I can OP it. Anyone with experience of them?

    Also I seem to have run out of current accounts for switch bonuses. Last on my list was M&S for the gift card, but I suppose we could use the card for school uniforms or Christmas.
