So very excited, so very grateful, the mortgage is done!
We had an unexpected windfall that we could use to repay the last bit early as the rest of our budget was on track. I'm so glad I decided to get my spending under control in 2014, it has made a huge difference!
Many many thanks to Pawlala and Hiddenshadow for running this challenge. I'm utterly delighted to report my final OP as #110 for the year of £2700. :j:j

I loved the idea of Tilly-tidies, but I wanted a tidy balance on the mortgage, so I started rounding overpayments to get it to the nearest ten, then fifty, then hundreds when I could. It got easier to do a bit more once I got my emergency fund set aside.
Exact same for me, nothing like having a nothing (whether it be 1,2,3, or even 4 nothings) at the end of your mortgage figure - love it, and the pounds have just been dropping off, wish I could same the same for the weight :rotfl:
