2019 Mortgage-Free Wannabes
Comments

I know what you both mean - i'm finding it a right old slog at the moment too. It's weird, because i'm almost at the end (9 months to go at current rate) and the mortgage has come down hugely this year, but somehow almost having the end in sight is making it feel harder. Trying to break it down into little chunks so I feel like i'm getting somewhere each month, but, blimey, i'm so ready to be done
Maybe there's something in the air! How great to be so close though.... hopefully there is some motivation around the corner!

Morning! I have decided to overpay before my bank gets around to updating my account.
So September overpayment of £130.20 please Julicorn.
It should bring my daily interest down to £4.20
I will round it all down nicely when I can see the actual balance.
