The Final Countdown

Late start for me this morning, trying to plan out the rest of my financial year. I will need to have £10k in July to part pay my taxes which I had 'forgotten' about in my planning which is bothersome. That means saving my contract job monies for tax paying over the next 3 months. I think that means that for the next 3 months I will pay about £1k per month off my mortgage from my pension and EBaying. However in September and October I will have the next lot of 6 months rent from my tenants which will be £10k. It will be a close run thing but I think I will manage to pay off my mortgage by the end of the year, not quite clear how I will pay the rest of my tax bill in January though. Deep thought underway.

Well if anyone can do it then you can

Last big lump pay off for a while I have just been paid for my March contract, £3000 paid off today. I will be saving contract monies now to pay my July tax payment.

But look at that fantabulous progress in 2.5 months! :T :T :T

Just awsome

Tax saving turns out to be nowhere near as exciting as getting to the end of the mortgage. I am just getting on living on my pension, when I get paid for my contract work at the end of the month it will go straight to the tax payment. I am hoping to save at least £500 from my pension towards the mortgage at the end of the month. I am doing a bit of EBaying but it is slow and low. On the other hand I might have a short holiday if I can get a deal for £500 or less to somewhere nice in a good hotel. I have been asked to review some grant bids which I am doing for £100 per bid hopefully that will also be paid this month.

I have begun to !!!!! out my seedlings and get the greenhouse properly fired up, it will be lovely to see the sun later this week and to do a bit of pottering planting. The camelias and the magnolia are flowering, England is so beautiful in the spring.

Good news on the reviewing grant bids.

MSE censorship does make me laugh at times!

Agree that Springtime is beautiful. Magnolias are magnificent.

Things have been much quieter this month, but I did know that would happen. I have managed to pay £1,000 off the mortgage, and save towards the imminent tax bill so not too bad. I am on track to be mortgage free by the end of the year, possibly by October.
