Nice to see progress being made on must do list
The rest can just be a wish list! Just in case I don't catch up with you before you go hope holiday fab
Made 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 -
I am on holiday :hello:
It is 20.15
It is 32 degrees.
Just saying
