Just catching up. Glad you are following Drs orders to the letter! And may the sun shine soon!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 -
What a lovely day. Plenty of rest and loads of work completed.
Sitting with a glass of fizz by my side.
Happy Days.
Thank you to my wonderful Mr T for the beautiful meal he is making.
Feeling pretty blessed right now.
When I'm paid next week we will have enough from any redundancy pay, should I be sacrificed to productivity improvements, and endowments to clear the mortgage. :T:T
From next week, we will be building the renovation fund :j
