    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Was feeling brighter about own acheivements this weekend then read your list. Will go and have a cuppa to recover :)
    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 !!

    I decided my lists had to be no longer than 5 items and even then I was hopeless! I was trying to explain to someone who wants me to give up my entire afternoon for his 1-2-1 tai chi classes that I have one day off in the week to pack in things like appointments to get hair chopped, do stuff in town, do stuff in the house, chill... I gave up in the end :-)
