    Noooo! That just makes it harder to get off in the future! 

    (I speak from experience, as someone that moved into somewhere with layers upon layers of wallpaper, which had been painted multiple times in between!)
    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!!!

    I have been quite productive today:

    drive way weeded ✔️
    E-learning underway ✔️
    Started stripping wallpaper ✔️

    I also found a frame for £3 for a print I bought a month or two ago so it’s out now making me smile amid the chaos😂
