      Hoping to pay £500 extra this month, it will then put the mortgage into the 60k range (even if it is not by much) it is a big phycological boost for me.
    I look forward to you being in the 60's, I will dance around my kitchen in celebration for you.
    I am heading toward 85 at a fair old rate.   It is important to celebrate every milestone.

    Many thanks @f0xholes.  I agree with the celebration bit.  I would never have thought I'd look forward to only owing 69k, lol.

     Mr Pepper has a £5 T3sco voucher to spend tomorrow which is from Microsoft rewards, a cake for me and a pork pie for him, I have a bottle of fizzy stashed so will be putting it on to chill. 

    Hope the 85's are here for you soon.
