    That's great news. The more money towards the mortgage the quicker it will be paid.

    How is the house hunting going?

    Hi SD we went to see the new build development on Saturday, the show home was fab, but the house we're interested in isn't being made available for a while.

    We also had a bit of a drive around the Worcester area, houses are a bit cheaper down there but it would be a big move.

    Nothing on the market really catching our eye at the mo' though.

    That's great your other half on board. :)

    I keep talking to DH about it and he says that's great when I tell him that I made an OP and how much it has shaved off the term. I know he's still not on board as such. I am Looking forward to the day he does what Mrs QBW just did. :)

    Congrats!!!
