Thanks lovelies 😀 I'm keeping the fizz until 5.00pm, I'm working from home today (didn't want any more calls to the bank whilst in the office after last month 😳) so while I could get away with starting early, if I didn't have the job I couldn't pay off the mortgage - so need to show them a little respect I think by not being sozzled on their time!!! What I really should have done was taken the day off, instead of ploughing straight back into the world of ridiculous customers, but c'est la vie....🤣!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
Cleared 🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️!!! In 5 years, 1 month and 29 days
Total amount repaid: £72,307.03. £1.10 repaid for every £1.00 borrowed
Finally earning interest instead of paying it!!!4 -

DFOD, did you pass it to your kids to answer the last question about who in the family they thought would be best placed to cope with zombies? I was intrigued by that one, but no 7-12 year olds!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
