    Found this thread on page 25!!

    This week I'm planning on getting a car boot pile together as we want to decorate office and need to put stuff from there where my 'things to get rid of' pile is now.

    We're going to sell the old furniture in the office too as it was great when we were students with tiny bedrooms which needed study areas too but it doesn't really work with what we want now (landlord was a relative (and still is..) and let us keep the furniture when we moved as he was selling the place.

    So hopefully that will add some more to my total over the next month or so.
    Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000
    Initial Mortgage free date - January 2058
    Mortgage as of 1st February 2024 - £159,134.98
    Overpayments to date - £79.62
    Current Mortgage free date - January 2058

    Hi guys, sorry i dont post on here often, need a bit of a kick up the !!!! on posting on here, however have been doing lots to work towards the challenge. I did over £100 of mystery shopping last month and have already been paid some of the money so am able to update my total. I have also been doing some more matched betting and survey sites so my current total now stands at £1402.98. Am really pleased with the amount and the fact that i have now passed the bronze level.
