:j At last after 28 years and 3 months (and 4 house moves) we are mortgage free. Paid the last £6.96 off this morning. Next challenge is to save enough money up to be able to retire at 55. :T:beer:

Just keep chipping away at it - it's amazing how quickly it seems to come down - it all has to go in a savings account now before we get used to the extra money :rotfl:originalmiscellany wrote: »Excellent work What tips would you pass on to us mere mortals?
