Both of our 'children' are getting married next year, with one of them having their wedding party in Portugal. Once that's done, it's full steam ahead as we have bought a piece of land to build on
I won't go through it now as I need to clear my head but it's exciting & scary in equal measures
Hope all is well with you x2004 £387k 29 years - MF March 2033:eek:
