    Been a while since I posted. Hit a few snags with Roof leak and Boiler issues.

    Although have not reached target of mortgage free, I'm down to £7500.

    I have also did some work on cutting bills slightly. Getting Water meter , changing fibre provider and mobile provider etc. My total bills for the month from April (not including food) should be £300.

    With increase in my pay in April I hope to chip away at the final bit of mortgage. Will knock off 1k each time I save 1k above emergency fund.

    Good luck with your plans. It's not nice when urgent repairs derail our goals slightly - but at least it's a delay rather than being completely off track.
