    I cant believe so many people have commented, thank you. I never knew anyone came onto my thread.
    I started my old thread 7 years ago, I wish I could have kept it going so you could all see from the beginning but hey ho.
    I may put some figures here later. I finished my mortgage 16 years early!!! I have no idea how much interest I have saved :)

    (it hasnt come out my bank yet or showing on my mortgage account, so impatient to see it 0)
