It may not sink in for a while yet! But a wonderful achievement! Make sure you celebrate for a while! My favourite bit was the note from Land Registry removing the mortgage company from the deeds. I'm coming up to my one year anniversary so I will absolutely share some reflections next week on my diary! PS. How did you get your mortgage free badge?!MrsLovely said:
