Thanks everyone!
Not a lot happening at the moment, just work and more work.
The mortgage is now at £9,690. Payday is on Friday so I'll be able to take a nice amount off then 🙂Starting Mortgage Balance (June 2019) £72,000. Mortgage Free November 2025!7 -
I purposefully haven't updated for a few days and it's because this morning I made the final payment to the mortgage! DH sent me the money early and i scraped everything I had left together, to pay off the rest, so we are now mortgage free! 😀🎉
It doesn't quite seem real, my balance on the natwest app hasn't gone to 0.00 yet, so I think when that happens it will sink in.
I think we'll have a Chinese takeaway on Friday to celebrate and then it's time to knuckle down and get saving!Starting Mortgage Balance (June 2019) £72,000. Mortgage Free November 2025!15 -
