    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Morning GG, well done to DD for paying that down so quickly - she has obviously been well trained :T

    I have been reading back over a few diaries and it is amazing how the OPs build up - its mad but I feel as excited about seeing how close you, SSS etc are to your main goals (or a few in your case) as I do about our own journey.

    Congratulations and it will soon begin with a £3...

    Best wishes Tilly x

    Wow that is a lovely looking number -I reckon by this time next month it'll be less than my total debt (and with far more to show for it!).

    Good news about DD having fully repaid you too.

    So pleased for your Gally Girl! It is amazing how quickly it can go down with a few overpayments!
