First house - how exciting!! Good luck on the completion. I'm glad my thread has helped! Just try and chuck in as much as poss and especially things that you wont miss - pay rises, refunds etc. Its amazing how quickly you'll knock that 25 yrs into shape!!

Thanks, even if it's only 5-6 years it'll be better than nothing. I get a quarterly bonus (only £2-300) but that'll be going towards overpaying unless I really need anything else. My new mortgage enables me to pay £499.99 a month without incurring any charges. Not that I'll be able to pay that much but it's nice to know.

Mc that is well funny!!
We've had some fab news today....
We went on hols a while ago and our flight was delayed by about 8 hours (well actually we got half way, got engine failure and had to come back home!) anyway.... We put in a claim after advice from mse saying the law had changed. Well several months later they have agreed to pay out! It's £485 each which was £100 less than the whole holiday! Haven't got the money yet but a letter to say they will pay. Can't bel it... That'll be a great op!!
