Ooops No 27 reporting . . .
Sorry a bit late, (ok, more than a bit) 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 backdone 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
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:MF[STRIKE] March 2030[/STRIKE] Yes that does say 2030 :eek: Mortgage Free 21.12.18 _party_Now a Part Timer from 27.10.190 -

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! Haha0
