    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Feel free Alchemilla, not sure quite how much I can help subject wise though! PM me if you would rather, and I hope you don't spend the whole two weeks worrying about it.
    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

    Well you know I am not really a strong candidate for this post...trying to see it as practice!
    Great news about the interview. And nice attitude :) Depends on the other candidates, you might be the strongest :)
    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 !!

    Definitely agree, and either way you win: its good practice, you get to find out more about the jobs market, and you might get the thing too :)

    We were lucky if the teachers turned up at our school (and the students!) I didn't exactly go to a 'nice' school !!
