    That actually brings us to 5 mortgages paid off this year, which is absolutely amazing! Well done everyone who's mortgage free now (and of course also to everyone who's gotten a little closer already this year through their extra payments :) ). 
    We're only £40k off our annual target now as well, I've just noticed we have already surpassed our original target of £640k.
