    I did on my own with one child. Not nearly such a huge mortgage though. Through learning loads on MSE, I managed to become mortgage free. DD now 21 and left home. I have a partner now, but the house is solely mine. It is a much harder struggle on your own, but a bigger sense of achievement too :)

    Just had a look at this thread..I have a similar thread about OPing my mortgage.
    I thought there would have been more people on their own with a big mortgage.
    I am OPing and enjoying the challenge.
    Getting better with the food shopping too...can spend £150 a month with me and DS and DD. (12 and 9)
