    Well done I've cut my mortgage by 5 years by overpaying. Getting it rid of in 5 years is brilliant.

    Well done Andy - I can't even afford to look for a place in Edinburgh.

    Time to break out the appletise. And get plenty of ice - it'll help your cheeks when they start to hurt from grinning so much.

    Congratulations mate.

    Many thanks to you all for your kind messages of congratulation and support; to repay your compliments I will as requested post some "pearls of wisdom" as to how I achieved my goals, once I've taken a breather to reflect and take stock of my new situation.

    Best wishes,

    Andy
