    Well done! That list sounds exhausting. Many thanks for that reminder about keeping the faith. You represent the reality that we can change our lives if we are willing to put in the time and be brave.

    Very good for you!
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Thanks for Christmas Tree NG, very thoughtful of you :rotfl: Thanks everyone for your good wishes and glad I haven't come across as self-congratulatory :o

    At the airport :T, feeling very happy now though quite teary yesterday at times :o Just watched sunrise, will be watching it set in a new country with a new life :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
