    I really hope that your plans come to fruition. Everything is crossed for you.
    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

    What lovely messagess, thank you.

    Basically my deal with DH is that I can stop work when the mortgage is paid.

    Clearly this is a while away. 12 years and nine months.


    Today have a family trip to our ace NHS dentist and the farrier coming and a house valuation. There are at least 100 things that need doing before the house is market-ready but this is just to find out what's viable.
