    Where has the year gone?!
    So a few updates! 
    Masters completed and passed with distinction! 
    Mortgage now down to....
    £213, 375.88
    Which is a reduction of £12,424.11
    Not many ops but gradually get towards this year's goal of reaching onederland. 
    Weight is not good at all! School has been so stressful and looks like another pay freeze..sigh.
    Summer is now upon us however, so a chance to breathe and reset.

    Great news on the  masters.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    So I managed to avoid booking an expensive holiday! Luckily though my mum wanted a few days away, so she paid and I paid for the meals. Win, win! Got to love the sunshine. 

    Small OP making the new total- 
    £211, 219.99

    £11, 219.99 until onerderland!!!!
