Had a bit of a panic as I couldn't remember when the next update was due (not that I've not been doing this long enough or anything). Still I'm in time and my slight guesstimate update has been submitted. But by July's update it will all be accurate. I'm only out by a couple of pounds either way so I'll just go with it.Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
% of house owned/% of mortgage paid off. July 25 - 38.82%/31.66%

Hello there, I'd like to join if that's okay - form filled in.
Thought my username was T. x or was on old forum but now appears as T._x Was a member previous challenge, although circumstances including redundancy put me off track a bit. This time I'm going for a reduction in 2 mortgages, for the sake of reporting will keep as 1. Looking forward to it and this time will do betterMFiT-T6: #38
