    I hope I'm writing on the right thread as I've read quite a few tonight! I also went bra shopping in the last 2 weeks and they also pulled up my info that said the last time I shopped there was in 2010. I mumbled something about shopping somewhere else.

    Congratulations on the promotion.

    Fantastic news on the promotion. Am sure it is very deserved.
    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 !!

    Late home from work this evening :(
