Have been super sensible and we are saving for our next 10% off our mortgage too, so I know we are doing the right thing. I don't get my 'fix' :eek: from paying, until I pay the bank.
I'm here reading other people's payments to celebrate their payments until I can get to mine :beer::j
Paying off a mortgage that is the DREAM for me !

That is so true!
Have you thought about switching to a basic bank account, one that doesn't let you go into any kind of authorised or unauthorised overdraft.
I had the same last year, was getting hit by charges every month.2017 [STRIKE]48000[/STRIKE]
