Starting Afresh Back Home

Jessy103

Thank you everyone and great news, I got the job!!!! 😃

It will be a gradual process into it as I start to pass on my duties to other people and they get a replacement for my current role. I will have to up my hours again but only from 35 to 37.5 and I will be on £4k more than my current job, so I'm very happy with that. It will mean an extra £200 a month take home, which is an extra £200 a month towards the mortgage!

The car is due in for an MOT tomorrow and DH has offered to take me out for breakfast while in town, which I am not going to turn down 😂

We returned the wedding cake stand to the cake lady yesterday which means we get £50 back from her, so that can go towards an overpayment when received.

Happy weekend all 🙂

Brilliant news!! 😃😃😃 So pleased for you, and I know you'll make excellent use of that extra dosh. No chance of it being frittered when you're around! What will that do to your expected mortgage end date, have you calculated?

Have just finished reading from the start over the last week and delighted that latest posts are both such good news.

Thanks cheery 🙂 If I up the monthly overpayment to £500 (which I should be able to do with this payrise) then it will be all paid off in 5 years and 1 month. This doesn't take into account the new interest rate that I will get when I remortgage next year though. Also, I'm 37 now so I'd like to pay it off by my 40th birthday which gives me 2 years and 9 months, bit of a push though!
