    :heart: hope you had a lovely anniversary, despite the distractions of hedgerow jelly and footie! x

    I've received another recognition award at work :j:j:j

    The awards have a monetary value of up to $500 each (pre-tax) and should be included with this month's salary :T

    Congratulations on eggs ...and ...award :) Hurrah for nice bonus
    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 !!
