    Whoop whoop whoop !!! Congratulations :j
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Thanks Watty :D

    We enjoyed a nice takeout last night courtesy of the reduced ERC. There's more than enough left over for another one this evening :)

    Only costs incurred when paying the mortgage off in full were £476.38 in early repayment charges and a £35 exit fee.

    Here's a chart worth a thousand words :)

    Red: mortgage balance (original schedule)
    Green: mortgage balance (actual)
    Blue: virtual offset (liquid)
    Yellow: today
