    Hello Mr E

    Great news re: mortgage & house sale :T

    Hope you can find some time to chill and/or sleep in between the moving madness & DD's challenges ;)

    Thanks BW.

    Apparently while I have been out (books to charity shop + barber) DD has 'gone for a nap, done a massive **** (Mrs E, how uncouth!) and generally behaved herself' :rotfl:

    Just stopping by to say that I've been gradually reading through your thread and have found it very inspirational. You've really got me thinking about the importance of investing and focusing on being financially independent, rather than just aiming to be mortgage free. :)

    I hope you've managed to get some rest today. Good luck with the move.

    It is an absolutely massive weight off Goldie, I am not going to lie to you :)

    Now we don't need another mortgage until December 2020, by which point we will no doubt all be living in moon houses :rotfl:

    Relatively relaxing day, picked up more empty boxes from nearby friends and visited rentals to see visiting sibling and nephew. DD appears to be asleep, so we're relaxing this evening and I will pack up the kitchen tomorrow.

    £80 or so into 13%+ P2P loans since yesterday.

    Thanks LIL, just reading the offer just now, it feels like such a large amount compared to our first home. Might actually do a few OPs this time ;)

    I will be coming to you for the DIY suggestions :T
