    Ooops No 27 reporting . . .

    Sorry a bit late, (ok, more than a bit :o) Here goes, anyway . . .

    August o/p £606.90

    September o/p £1935.55(Don't ask me how, had to check my accounts more than once for this)

    Oct o/p 226.21 - so far.

    Kept the totals till now as, in May robbed my 0% CC money stashed, thought it was only right to declare the figures once I had paid it all back :D done that so have robbed - once again - and instead of o/p my mortgage, will replace (once again) my CC balance, thus saving more interest fees :D what also helped was my very, very low mortgage payment now :)


    I can see the finish line, but I'm in slow motion mode . . .
    Always have 00.00 at the end of your mortgage and one day it will all be 0's :dance:

    Hello,

    What's the best way to go about making one of these mortgage pictures that you colour in? Are there any how to links?

    Thank you :)

    Hi Unicorns


    I drew my house on Excel. Just over £21k mortgage left so made a wall of "bricks" 10 wide and 21 high. Each brick represents £100 and each layer of the wall £1000. I put a triangle on top for the roof and a clipart sun in the sky for good luck!


    I will try to upload a pic of it later as my profile pic so you can see how fancy it is! Haha
