Number 102 with an extra 20 for March and 1009 for April please :j
Thanks as always.0 -
#5 here reporting an (increased) OP for April of £306 (trying to push myself a little bit further and see how I cope). Thanks lomcevakMortgage free 04/03/2025. Thanks to this site and lots of overpayments bit by bit.
Next stop: house repairs, holiday fund, replace our very old cars, more financial security/early retirement savings.🤞0 -
Norfolk dream signing in on this thread for the LAST TIME.
I have become MORTGAGE FREE TODAY!!
Have OP'd my std £184 plus my redemption to clear the account this morning of £42 only (no fees yay! unless they realise later on)
Total for year is £2063 and completed (even tho I put £2070 which didnt take into account interest saved if OPd early I guess)
So I have met my April target this year to clear the mortgage. OK its not as big as some of yours or I'd still be here for another decade but I did it all on my own looking after 3 kids and working part time.
Dont think you cant see the end of the tunnel, it took me just under 7 years to clear the £86k I had left (others do that in 2 years haha). Some months I didnt have anything to OP and others I had more, swings and roundabouts!
Now for the next two years saving for home improvements to make 'my own' house nicerMFW 16 No 33
2016 OP Paid/Target 2063/£2063 (100%) COMPLETE
