    I've just made the £80 OP that sends us (just) sub £300k.

    SO chuffed! How mad is that?!

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

    Hi catshark88, have just read your diary and wanted to say best of luck and well done on getting sub 300k :D

  • Very well done, all the best with the next target, not mad at all, but very sensible.

    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Thank you for all your kind words!

    We will slow down OP wise over the next few months as we have a little bit of building work to do and apparently you can only spend the cash once....

    Such a shame that...
