That's great news. I noticed your freedom date changed when reading mpg's diary and wondered when you'd knocked those months off. Now I know.

Hi Lois,
Popping in to say hi and have a read of your diary. Aren't those tax credits welcome!!
Looks like you're doing really well in getting on top of that mortgage. I'm in my forever house too - juts needs an extension but I'm sitting tight and trying to ditch my wee mortgage just now - unemployment looms so not getting any more debt till I can see where I'm going.
Good luck!
:beer:May 2018 - £159k + £3.5K CC - let the countdown begin!
March 2019 - CC gone and bye bye M2 on 31st! £140k to go.:j0 -

Hi downsizer and thanks - I always feel encouraged when people read my diary and comment on it (or thank it).
My house has been extended, but eventually when I can afford it I want to make some alterations to the extension that's already there. That won't be for a long time, though.
