  • Chucking it down, Dave adamant that he's not a fair weather runner, much to his disgust, I refused! Will nip to gym later, did manage my chores though whilst he's out as working tomorrow. I got soaked just doing the bins... he was very wet on return.

    Superb Helen, well done :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Brilliant progress on the mortgage and the weight maintaining :T:T

    Do you have plans to celebrate the day you pay off that last £1?

    Just had a big catch up of your diary and your posts about weight loss and exercising has inspired me to go and log stuff in MFP again. There's still a week and a half till Xmas starts (when my sister comes to stay :D) so no excuses not to try a little bit harder than I have been doing!
    Mortgage amount at 31/12/2011 £166,050 now £0 as at Sept 21 - 15yrs 4 months early.


  • Thanks MWC, GG, SM
    Not sure how will celebrate, last time we didn't really do anything at the time but then carried on saving the money we would have paid into mortgage and it paid for our "post mortgage" celebratory holiday on safari in Kenya. Which we had talked about frequently but waited until we were MF.
    I think a small life style change, perhaps eat out more, perhaps go skiing overseas rather than Scotland, a weekend away just the 2 of us or a London theatre break for all. oooo.. now quite excited..

  • Shala moo want to be friends on mfp?
    I am gratefulforhelp on there.

    Helen great work with the mortgage.
  • Sounds like you have a good week ahead. I love seeing all the children at panto - such excitement for them.

    Knowing you have already cleared one mortgage and are so close to the next one must be an incredible feeling.

    Are there any plans to move again?

    Thanks SHS and Tilly


    Must say Tilly, have missed the childrens plays, etc this year. Its sad when they pass that stage. We have had music stuff but not related to school. Have Panto on SAturday, oh no you haven't..... can't wait!


    Tilly.. No plans. Our next move will be downsize I think, although you never know. Fab property down the road just come up, but loads of work. Do fancy it though, always fancied converting something in the future.
