Thanks trix - I might be at the front of the still-to-pays but I am more like the pace-maker and will now slow right down, giving others a chance to catch up. It will be a year before we pay off another lump I thinkSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £4863.32 out of £6000 after May (81.05%)

Oh gosh I’m sorry I’m late. I will submit now and hope to be included in the next pass
It’s been half term here and both terrors have been very poorly. Eldest bean is currently high as a kite on steroids and inhalers (4 blue twice a day minimum and 2 brown twice a day) and still breathing shallowly. I have been told he has to go back to the drs this week and next.
He will be ok through. But sorry I’m lateMortgages Oct 2020: £308,283 Jul 2021 £286,600 October 2022 £253,456 MFW-22 #9 MFIT-T6 #350 -
don't worry lovely, I fill them in as I see them so it should flow through into the posted chart. I totally forget the chart is due until someone posts

Darn it, I was convinced I'd subscribed to this thread but apparently not!
Will fill in the form when I get out of bed:rotfl:
Not going to be pretty though. Or new mortgage fix had kicked in - 2.26% rather than the previous 1.8% so not tooooo bad but doesn't help. And we've had building work done on the house so all extra money at the minute is going back towards rebuilding the savings pot back to an acceptable level.
Hoping to be back making over payments before the next check in though, even if they're only small :j in fact I might consider adjusting the monthly payment a bit so SOMETHING is going off at least.
And congratulations Radish!! I remember when we paid our previous mortgage off (not early, Mr Cheery had just been paying it for 25 years :rotfl: ) - I expected a fanfare too but I guess it's no celebration for the bank :rotfl:0
