I think the black taxi and it was Friday night probably answers that one OM!
Just realised I hadn't updated my own OP for Feb and have now put in the £698.33 paid. In either March or April, I will be fully paying off the second mortgage and my excitement is growing exponentially!
Take care in the cold,

All the best,
