    Hi JC,

    No.74 with an additional OP of £40.38 for January.

    Cheers,
    US

    Thanks. Could you include a monthly total for future updates? Makes it much easier to update / less likely to make mistakes :)

    #35 here with my first payment of the year = £750. Feeling really positive this year and have the additional motivation of my mortgage being up for renewal in 2020 so super keen to get the amount owed down as much as possible :)

    Is it wrong to be seeing all these members Paying in little and not so little money into there mortgages and being jealous that I haven't even managed to buy the house yet to be able to do the same?!

    I've even got a pot of money in my locker at work that normally gets emptied every so often and taken home so I can add it to my savings post home but I'm planning on now using it to pay direct into the mortgage once I actually have one! I have £58 in it at the moment so I've actually got a overpayment to make into a mortgage I haven't even got yet! ��

    Hopefully solicitors will pull there finger out soon and make me owe a huge sum of money! Lol

    Use it as motivation :) My house took a long 7 months to go through the solicitor stuff. Then over 2 years once I had the mortgage to even be able to make an overpayment so you are well ahead of me :)

    Same here! Our flat purchase took that long, and it was a completely chain-free. And you know what, it was totally worth the wait in the end. Some of our family would drive us crazy badgering us about how long it was taking and that there must be something wrong with the flat, but no, we just had a bit of a useless vendor :rotfl:
