    It's been a while now but doing well on the overpayments, down to £38k.  Although as im sure, most people are as well, I'm on a much higher rate now.  Hopefully less than 2 years now.

    Now my mortgage is fully paid off, a bit before I was expecting but thats only a good thing.  The only issue now, is that I want to move, so mght start it all off again.
