    Thanks Becky, hope you had a good Christmas too.

    Happy new year everyone, hope everyone had a great night- I was fast asleep by 10 and H even slept through all the fireworks so I completely missed it haha.

    Happy New Year everyone!

    December interest of £255.17 showed in the account today so I did my final December OP of £20.17 to tidy the final figure.

    Month summary:
    Start balance - £120,970
    Total OPs - £92.43
    Interest added - £255.17
    End balance - £120,675

    I’d set a comfortable target of £120700 and a stretch target of £120,650 so I’m happy to be ending the month in the middle of these.

    I’ve been speaking with a mortgage advisor to look into our options for moving. Our current house needs work doing to it to increase the storage for what we’d need and I’d rather not pay to do it if we’re going to move so I’m looking into whether it’s feasible to move sooner. There are so many variables it’s tricky to know what our options would be but we’ve got a viewing booked for Friday and someone coming to value our house on Monday. It’s early days but exciting! I’ll carry on making OPs where I can to ensure we can maximise the amount of equity that will be released. January “comfortable” goal is £120,400 and stretch goal is £120,350

    Thanks! I’d been trying to log on to Halifax all day as I was so eager to see what the interest was and to make that OP haha

    I find it gives me a sense of accomplishment while also giving me something more challenging to aim for.

    First week end accounts done and I’ve sent my first OP off for the mortgage - £2.78, 1/3rd of my bank interest. Cashed out £5 from my Shoppix account as well so when that lands in my paypal I’ll send that across as an OP too.
