Hi everyone!

This is another overly excited update, because we're leaving for Japan on Sunday! I honestly can't wait, it's almost unreal that it's finally this time of year

The mortgage currently stands at around £157,500. I'm getting a Christmas bonus this month too which is very exciting - I think factoring that in, we miiiiight be able to get the mortgage below £150k by the end of January. Will keep you all posted.

Hi everyone!

Japan is absolutely incredible, and we already know this won't be our last visit. I'll write a proper update about our holiday when we're back.

For now, I thought I'd give you all a quick mortgage update instead. Our balance is now just under £155k, and we are exactly 5 years ahead! :j that means that without overpayments, we would have only reached this balance in November 2024.
Time to celebrate and hopefully hang out with some snow monkeys today

Congratulations! Good to hear Japan is so great, and I think I fixed this for you:

Haha, thank you Karmacat! :rotfl: I blame the wifi cutting out on the train, and me very quickly re-typing my post
