Everything unpacked and squared away.

We have had a brilliant time away and that next chapter is so close. I'm taking a break from work for a while and helping a chum set up a business.

Today is the day and mortgage has gone - we have left £10 to keep it open just in case but we are counting it as closed.

I can't believe this day has arrived - November 2011 - August 2015 - just under four years and over £300k plus interest done.

It feels a bit odd in some respects as it has been our focus and now we are planning for the future. New chapter, new focus.

I'm still Tilly Tidying, will still menu plan, won't go out spending like a nutter - we will be buying a new laptop for DS as a well done for GCSE results.

Our money is our own - we had said at the start that Mr T would buy a new car once we were done. However, he bought a car a couple of years ago and that will last for years. House is well maintained so nothing to spend there either.

We are going out for dinner tonight, using the rest of the restaurant vouchers up to celebrate.

The time has flown and we could not have achieved this without the help and advice from this forum. New friends made, work changes due to redundancy, DD leaving home, losing a sister, losing my dad. What a time we have had - now we get to plan our next phase. Mr T may kill me if I mention worktops or en suites - planning the changes for Portugal will keep me busy.

Right, Mr T is BBQing, it's blinking cold although the sun has been out and I'm to find a sweater and sit outside with DD, DS and Mr T.

Thanks to everyone has helped keep us going.

CHEERS.

Best wishes Tilly x x

Congratulations Tilly, very proud of your achievement in such a short space of time. It puts me to shame and is giving me a bit of food for thought with how I can maybe progress with my own monetary hopes and dreams.

What are your words of wisdom for those of us with quite a way to go?

Enjoy the celebrations with your family, it has been a family journey the whole way x
