    Awww Goldie you are going off into the sunset. I hope to see you around. You have inspired me so much with your diary. I have loved watching you achieve your dreams and hope you do pop in from time to time Thank you for all your encouragement, sharing and fun along the way :)
    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 !!

    GG, I have lurked on your diary for such a long time and you have inspired me no end.

    I wish you all the very best of luck and thank you for the inspiration you have given. I am only 31, and hope my planning and hard work now will pay off so I can enjoy an early retirement and some fabulous cruising.

    All the best

    GG I probably need to do the same on my diary - I still come on here and read & post but feel I've run the course with my diary.

    Good luck and thanks for all the fun and support.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    GG I have loved lurking and reading your diary. I may retire this year or next and have found your diary so helpful in making me think and reflect on what I may want to do, prepare etc so thank you so much.

    Have a wonderful cruise next year and very best wishes for the future. It would be lovely to hearabout your cruise if you had time. Happy 2017

    GoldieGirl, we've shared some frustrations, loved seeing how you adapted to retirement and really appreciated your views.

    Take care and hope you pop back to lurk. I think there's a few of us in the same boat but 2017/18 will be big years and like Gally, I may kick my diary back to life until we're done.

    Very best wishes Tilly xxx
