Betterthanever

Just tagging along for motivation.... overpaying will start in earnest in January for me, so I'll sign up for the 2018 thread happily when it comes along. In the meantime, I'm just piggybacking for the ideas and such. Hope no one minds!!

With the mortgage payment it brings us to £250k on the nose! One milestone down, just a few more to go.

Hiya

#125 with an OP for August of £272.70 - smaller than hoped with the school holidays and us being away but better than nothing...

Hoping for better in September but we shall see.

Thanks all.... Jen x

Hi there

Edged the monthly overpayments up by £30 this month. Really need to get in touch with my self control and eat everything in the cupboards and freezer (okay that reads wrong - I mean use stuff I already have rather than buying new - not going on a massive 'all you can eat' session) so I can free up some more money to chuck at this mortgage. Hmmmm, any idea where I put my self control, or even my will power?

Any ways #02 reporting an overpayment of £609.81 in September leading to a new total of £5,198.29

Good luck everyone in your September MFW goals. Thanks HiddenShadow for keeping us on track.
Take care

Number 15 checking in.....

Well.... I am delighted! After paying my large chunk last week I got a letter from Nationwide saying that the term of my mortgage now sits at 13yrs and 1 month. I think this is absolutely amazing as I only got the term reduced to 15yrs in March (of this year!) and thanks to the over-payments I have almost knocked 2 years off. 2 years!!! Amazing!

To top this off, I have made a £500 payment which also brings me into the bracket of owning half my house (house valued at £120,000. Balance owed is now £59,700).

What a month! Thanks to everyone on this board. Without hearing your stories/diaries, this would never have happened. You lot are an inspiration.

finally got round to looking at my figures. Can you please add £650 for January and £830 for August Hidden Shadow.


Unfortunately it looks like I will struggle to meet my target this year as I just had to replace my car which was only 4, but I'll keep chipping away at it.

Thanks for amending my target HS. No. 38, payment of £234 for August - it's a start and things should get moving soon.
