Powers’s mortgage free thread

Mortgage balance is £81,237 with £1250 in the savings pot so I feel that is sub £80k! It’s annoying that it doesn’t go down so fast when you put the money in savings, but the interest is way better. 

Need to sort house and contents insurance out, the renewal is up but we need to up the cover.

Big payment averted 🚨 
the van broke down last week on a busy junction, snapped alternator belt. Rescued by RAC and towed to the garage we bought it from. I was convinced we’d need new cam belt as well, and at its worst, a new engine 😱 
fab garage fitted new belt free of charge and suggested I buy a lottery ticket as no other damage done. 

£150 luck money sent to the mortgage in celebration 🍾 🚐

Mortgage is officially below £80k! That’s £40k paid off since we moved 4 years ago 🤯 

Its 2.5 weeks til my big cycling adventure and I think I’m ready, need to pack without getting carried away with just in case things. Bike is having a service and new drive set, £291 later! I think between the 8 bikes we own our bike mechanic is paying off his mortgage too, he’s a good guy though and me and T are getting more proficient. 

I’m feeling a bit stressed, trying to get a lot achieved at work before I go on leave and juggling voluntary commitments at home. I can’t wait to just have to pedal, eat, camp repeat 🔁. 9 more work days to go!
