Congratulations! What a journey it's been for you!
I have hid in my office today reading your diary from the start, truly you are an inspiration! I can't pay off what you have paid off cos I simply don't earn that kind of cash, but your attitude is amazing! I've been overpaying for years and have a MF date in about 9 years time. Tho I'm trying to decrease that now, will try and follow your lead, tho I'm deffo NOT getting a horse:p:p
Well done again, enjoy your celebrations you certainly have earned them :T

Morning everyone
There are too many people to reply to individually but I wanted to say a MASSIVE THANK YOU for all your kind words
Didn't do anything in the end last night (not even a bottle of bubbly!!) but thats only because I work in the smoke on Wed and Thurs so they are my nightmare 2 days and defo couldn't do it with a hangover
However, if I get home at a reasonable time tonight I think we might have a glass or 2 (still got my MSE box of wine on the side to finish)
However we do have amazing plans for the weekend...
Going out to a lovely restaurant on Fri (one that we tend to only go to for special bdays as its usually about £30 a head :eek:)
and then going to see Cirque du Soleil on Sat (yep had to look that spelling up!!) Still being MSE tho as managed to convince security to let me park at work for the evening so I can walk to the venue :money:
In between that, Im going to move horsey to his posh new yard (£160 a month v £60 that I'm paying now :eek:) but I feel we deserve it (well I do, not sure about him, will have to see how he behaves on the 5 mile hack up there)
Have a good day everyone - its nearly the weekendMortgage starting balance 2011 ... £170k today £1.5k
Savings: £3k
Aim: 100k by Dec 20210 -
Massive congratulations! :T :T You've done so well!a penny picker upper. MFW approx 78% to go | FIRE 3 years worth (30% savings rate: now aiming for 40%!) | Normality is a paved road; it's comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow on it | Whatever you're meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible | The only thing you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library0
