    I own my own home. I will never have to worry about paying a mortgage again. We will have so much money left over every month it's unreal (except our boys are about to go to Uni :p). We really are so glad we started on this journey 9 years ago :D

    Congrats :j:j

    Hope your boys are doing well in their exams. :)

    You need to keep us posted with what you've done in the next month with that extra money, even if it's just save it. Although I'm sure a treat in the first month is allowed even if you are saving up for a big treat later on.
    Reduction in daily mortgage interest since October 23 (new mortgage) - £2.36 July 25
    % of house owned/% of mortgage paid off. July 25 - 38.82%/31.66%

    Thank You Eva. We are in the midst of A2 Levels and GCSEs at the moment. But when they are all over we are gonna have the best summer ever (even if it rains everday!).

    I hope you and your family are all well.

    SetmeFree2 - I just want to congratulate you! - I have been following your progess for quite a while - this is a fantastic achievement. I'm hoping I will be mortgage free in 2 years - which will be around 16 years early
