    Bexster - Thank you - wish I could be as thrilled, but that 1 seems to have been there forever and a day. As of this morning it was 1 plus my interest which tickled me, as everyone knows I have a fixation with numbers ;) 321.

    £3.21 quickly overpaid :D

    It is amazing what you can do when you have/want to. No pay weekends for me, just 1 week early for Dec and Jan which means two 5 week months after that. Oh well.

    Excited to hear about your plans for 2019 A wee hat, maybe ?

    Need to get shopping now as want to be organised before Monday, :rotfl: I'm dreaming, of course.

    Have a great day and date night.

    Would like to announce as of today - I'm mortgage neutral :D :dance:
    That is once all bills come off, and not touching savings. :j

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Hi A Frayed Knot and Bexter any other participants of this thread, firstly Congratulations on being mortgage neutral!!

    this is my first post as i've been having a nosey through a couple of threads and guides before starting a thread of my own, a couple of my questions have been answered already, but i'll save the rest for my thread

    I was baffled with Jargon and numbers when I started my mortgage and am coming to the end of my 5 year fix, and wanted to look at ways to get MF much quicker than I currently am, so I started reading your thread before noticing it was 84 pages long, and I figured if I read it all my mortgage term would end before the 84 pages and I wouldn't have saved any extra money :D

    V7RNR - thank you.
    I have read several diaries over the course of time, as they say, it 's not a sprint - it's a marathon.

    Good Luck with your journey.
