So yet another new diary ,hopefully this time I can stick with it ,I don't seem to be very good at updating sadly ..Anyway due to selling several items that we had inherited years ago plus a small amount of money that we had managed to save this year we now have around £100,000 left to pay . we have approx. five and a half years left but just in case we don't manage it and have to sell our house I am rounding it down to five years.
I am hoping to save £1666 each month a big ask in these difficult times and as always completely reliant on my husbands business

Hi Try Harder,
I have a similar goal to you, 5 year mortgage free (I hope)  but with a £108500 mortgage. Just not sure where to begin. So will be following with interest.
