            Thanks ETE Have just phoned mtge co to check it went through ok - and it did Have just phoned mtge co to check it went through ok - and it did - so can now do more (but not until next year now!) - so can now do more (but not until next year now!)
 Family funeral today (OH's aunt) - unusually (for funerals we've attended) - a full church service followed by a burial. We all had to wear a certain flower - and then threw them down onto the coffin after earth had been scattered - was moving to see.
 OH has gone off to SE coast tonight (approx. 4hour drive - assuming no traffic problems!) for a job interview tomorrow morning (could have gone very early tomorrow but would have been tired and stressed if any traffic problems) I have DS1 helping out at a school evening (need to collect him at 8pm) and have dropped DS3 at Beavers - need to collect him at 7pm (although we usually hang around until nearer 7.20pm) - will need to take DS2 with me to collect DS1, bring them both home and get them changed ready for bed to then collect DS1 and then take DS3 to bed and send DS2 to bed - hopefully not falling asleep myself at the same time! My plan is then to do some ironing (make sure there is enough uniform for tomorrow), dry more washing and do some school lunch prep. If I am awake enough (debatable right now! ) I will list a couple of items on fleabay. Early night (by 10pm is my plan) and then tomorrow morning after school run I will pop to voluntary place, drop off the new kit I had delivered here, do about 1/2hr volunteering and then go to Zumba (I need the energy) and then come home. OH wont be back until 6 or later, so I will get the afternoon before school run to myself - am looking forward to that - I don't get much time here alone right now! Not that I plan on doing anything exciting - perhaps some more fleabay listing!! ) I will list a couple of items on fleabay.

            Good luck - waiting to hearMade 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 !!0
