Just wanted to share my good news with you guys, my husband and I walked into the Abbey today and paid up our outstanding 60k mortgage :j
Have to say it was a brilliant feeling.
I have been battling with the Abbey through the courts and with the advice of Martin and this site to re-claim my bank charges (case now stayed) but hey I now feel I am 1-0 up !!!
Advice to all the rest of you....... stick with a place of employment for 20 years... take a good voluntary redundancy and hey presto... house is now ours and the great thing is I am only 37.
In the words of Bruce Almighty in the film ... "Its good".
Keep the faith your time will come. :beer:

Are you going to work again, or is the lack of a mortgage money enough?"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."0

Brilliant! It is really inspiring for those of us trying to follow in your footsteps! With the mortgage free thing, rather than the redundancy thing, but hey, if they offer it...Mortgage Free thanks to ill-health retirement0
