    Thanks Cath.

    I'm sure it will help.
    It went straight to the mortgage company as an overpayment.

    There is nothing evil about Radish - it is just a long month and we are all working hard.

    I'm glad you had an extra windfall there mummy. Great news for you, and you still have the savings too. I guess the temptation now will be even greater now the total is smaller still.

    It will be really soon when we can all celebrate with you. :D

    Thanks Michelle.

    I had to reread my post to make sure I hadn't implied Radish was evil :D

    Thanks Pammy

    Plans for after are to save up some rainy day money. Start to save towards a new car so that we will not have to borrow any money when the time comes and maybe save up for a holiday. I would like to have a celebration meal out as well.

    That sounds really boring doesn't it.

    I think I would probably transfer the money that used to be for the mortgage into my ISA :rotfl:

    And maybe splash out on a M&S meal for two every night for a month
