    In mortgage news that is me entering the final year of my fix.
    After that only about 6 or 7 months and I am done.
    When I look back I find it hard to believe that I ever got to this stage.
    I was drowning in debt & my nortgage was overwhelming.
    So glad that I found MSE & all my lovely MSE friends.
    You have supported me more than you know & I wold never have got to this stage without you.
    Thank you :)

    That’s great news about the mortgage....the way the years fly by it’ll be gone in the blink of an eye...;) I remember how overwhelmed you were at one stage and didn’t think you’d ever get near to paying it off...keep telling you how well you’re doing:A:T
    How are things with the food bank - did you ever tell them you want to reduce your hours/responsibilities so that you don’t feel too tired or did you decide to leave it.
