£80,000 in 4 years

One thought, are you overpaying as much as you possibly can on the mortgage? If not then it might make more sense to use the ISA or PB money to pay off a chunk - you're likely to be paying far more in interest on the mortgage than you get from the ISA.

Thank you jimjames .I understand completely what you are saying but i feel much safer with the money being available if i need it just in case we need a new to us car as ours def needs changing soon or any other expensive emergencies over the next four years .We can overpay by 10% a year so that £200 a week will go there .Thank you for your advice though

Well done on the first OP this year - i made mine also this week and so good to see the balance come down. Next month will be in the 70,000s not 80,000s

Week one has ended and i am very pleased to say that we have made a £200 OP in to the mortgage £200 in to the PB and i have sold 17 items this week all very small sales but they all added up .I have also saved on my weekly food budget and i had some gift money left over .This has all gone in to My Millionaires Challenge .Oh and i didnt put any diesel in my car this week either as we still had some left due to the hols and not really using it

A good start to week two with £200 OP to the mortgage and £200 to PB ..Now to concentrate more on the selling ,i have been a bit lax this week and it shows
