Thank you PF.  Onwards and downwards from here.   It feels much less daunting than a mortgage starting with a 3.

Hi LadyGnome. I haven't read all of your diary yet but you do seem to do well with short term goals. Something that may help me as nearly all of mine are long term. You have really knowcked a massive chunk off your mortgage since 2012. Amazing.
