Well done on finishing the marking!! Great weight off your shoulders.
Think I might try to apply for marking up here next year.
How is the marking yourself going? It's hard to get a balance when you are at work, but not long now.15/5/12 Paid off Mortgage 1 (£220k) Bought Dream House:www: Dec 13 - Mortage 2 -£116,508. 15/7/18 Mortgage Free Again :j
