    Another £81.61 off the Mortgage today .... not sure if I'll manage to pay any extra off this month as went to the dentist today for a check-up and they found a "problem"..... have to go back next week to have some work done ... not too sure what it will cost yet:eek:

    Well done everybody - can't believe we have paid over £10,000 off in TWO months :T

    Well my mortgage has finally gone through, so now is the time for me to start making some progress on the MFW front, hopefully March will be the first month I can save towards overpaying, so will be able to start tracking my progress
    Well done to those of you already on track!!

    Evening All,

    I paid my expenses cheque off the mortgage this morning (£250.00) I think that will be it for this month as I am going on holiday next Saturday. When I get back I need to formulate a plan as I am not going to make sub £150,000 by January 1 09 without some serious savings.

    To Bellsbells and all the MFW08 gang, It is hard but i will be leaving this forum in the next few months due to a very good reason, My Wife has been given a local authority Bungalow due to Health issues and it means that we have to sell up and move about 1 mile down the road. It does been that of course i will have no mortgage and will be lucky enough to be MF I feel made up and a bit YES!!!!! Iwill still be here for the next 3 or 4 months i will still be making the odd overpayment too, As well as this i will be lurking in the Background seeing how you all are doing. It has been great seeing how well everyone is doing and lets hope you get MF asap.Cheers all. Oh does anyone know a good rate for savings? Bye for know all speak soon i hope.
