    Well done!!! You must be so pleased!! :)
    Echo what others have said get the bubbly out tonight!! :rotfl:

    Any top tips? (*reminds self to go back and read thru whole diary*!)

    We started over paying from the beginning of the mortgage which made a big difference. Had slowed down when discovered here due to starting a family and big drop in income, starting this diary and reading the others really helped and gave me lots of ideas to raise extra OP money. We were fortunate enough to receive a windfall which has allowed us to pay it off now.
