    Even OH thought it was "moving". Right enough on Christmas Day I blubbed uncontrollably to a clip from Toy Story 3 where Andy gives his toys to Bonnie then says goodbye, so obviously this cold has made my eye valves leak :o

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Wow I wish I had your ability to write a list and stick to it! I have the ability to write a list cross nothing off and leave it hanging around to remind me of what I have not done! We have glossing still to do from about 2 years ago- we must of bought a rubbish one as it tends to go yellowish too grrr unless thats just as we haven't done it for so long! How do people do it with pets? last time I did the side of the stairs and a cat covered the lot with fur in about 10 seconds which will be there for an etenity unless I start it all again grrr
    well done and good luck for next year :)
    Mortgage November 2003 was £135k, but thanks to this website on 28/08/12 we became MORTGAGE FREE!
    Now just over 2 years we have taken on the challenge again! )(starting £237k Nov 2014) Current mortgage £232,399.82, current overpayment total £1550, years remaining= 17

    I hope you feel better soon. Sounds like brilliant news on the decorating, how many months are you now? I am cheating and starting back at 80 in January.

    67 months :eek:. So, that's a capital reduction of just £1,809.35 a month. Every month :rotfl:.
