    Is it today, is it today, is it today :j:j:j:j:j.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Congratulations LauraJo!

    I'm a lurker rather than a poster but I just had to show my face to say well done.

    Am absolutely thrilled for you.

    Thank you for sharing your journey. Feeling inspired and motivated to deal with the millstone that is our mortgage now!!

    Enjoy the financial freedom. You thoroughly deserve it
    If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got!

    £2 savings club = £62 so far! ;)

    Congratulations! :j

    I'm so pleased for you! Like Tam I'm a lurker rather than a poster, but also just had to say well done.


    I hope to be MF in May and my next goal is early retirement, so would love to read about your progress if you do choose to go in that direction.
