    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! 
    Wait whaaaaaaat this is incredible news. 

    I'm so chuffed for you 🥰 just goes to show what, focus and hard work can achieve. 

    I will stay tuned for the next chapter xx
