Just obtained the mortgage remption statement and it is being cleared this month
I was on track to pay it off in 8 years, but the last payrise had begun to squeeze it a bit faster
Then I got lucky, and had a share options windfall
Of all the things to do with the money, paying the mortgage off in full seemed like the best one
And as of 1 September, the monthly £2763 that we were paying, is all ours
Shame I don't drink as surely this deserves, a Champagne

Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton0
