Perhaps get your £4300 EF this month and concentrate on your roof fund, save dipping into your EF and avoids that upset / annoyance at seeing the EF reduce.
Family time is always a boost. When the kids are older you can think about working a more hours, but at that point you may have had a few payrises, the mortgage will be lower and savings higher. There's definitely a better work / life balance with PT 😉Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.4 -
Thanks MF it's only the 14.58 which I am going to chop off the mortgage and then yes all to the roof fund.
I really hope I can remain part time but your right bills pressure should be reduced.Mortgage Aug 2019 161,000 :eek::eek::eek:Nov 2019 156,500:T Jan 2020 153,122:T, Apr 2020 149,500, Apr2021 139, 675, Oct 2021 136,823, Dec 2021 136,120🙂EF 0/12,000 (0%)😕 (5062.44 was ERC), Jan 2023 128,650.

I totally agree. I find a much better work life balance working only part time. Fingers crossed everything all works out.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £4.25 November 26

Hi SH
So I made my first ever e3ay sale today, that with a combination of a bit of account rounding has got EF to 4300 and mortgage OP of 14.58 made to round down to 141,600.
Everything now for Dec will go towards my garage roof bill which is payable in Jan.Mortgage Aug 2019 161,000 :eek::eek::eek:Nov 2019 156,500:T Jan 2020 153,122:T, Apr 2020 149,500, Apr2021 139, 675, Oct 2021 136,823, Dec 2021 136,120🙂EF 0/12,000 (0%)😕 (5062.44 was ERC), Jan 2023 128,650.

Just an update to say we are still saving for the garage roof atm. It's been pushed to Feb. I'm missing looking at the interest and months saved add up but know the next time we push to OP we will have our security blanket in place.Mortgage Aug 2019 161,000 :eek::eek::eek:Nov 2019 156,500:T Jan 2020 153,122:T, Apr 2020 149,500, Apr2021 139, 675, Oct 2021 136,823, Dec 2021 136,120🙂EF 0/12,000 (0%)😕 (5062.44 was ERC), Jan 2023 128,650.
