    I guess we all have hard times - it does seem though that the universe has had great pleasure kicking me for the last year or so. So I give up!

  • Hi Hurdler, just read your post re clearing your mortgage - firstly :j:j:j

    I'm sorry to read you've had a difficult time with your mum but good to see you've found somewhere safe for her to stay. It's difficult finding the right place.

    Knowing you and your determination the IT writing will speed up.

    Tale care and look forward to hearing your new adventures.

    Best wishes Tilly x x x
