Take care all xStarting Mortgage Balance (June 2019) £72,000. Mortgage Free November 2025!2 -
Number 13 here just confirming that there will be no more payments for me this year. Last OP was October, but I have already hit 115% of my target.
I decided to book Lapland instead.... i know, niot very MSE but the sheer joy on my daughter's face was worth not pay a few grand to the mortgage. Some things are just more important and the last 2 years have taught me how precious life and fun is - we are going all out this year on holiday and presents (all paid cash though
)
I shall be back in earnest in January on the 2022 thread!
I wish everyone a peaceful and happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year!
