Great work all round
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

Since getting home at 13:30 (I love finishing at lunchtime on a Friday!) I have:
Mowed the lawn (back garden)
Painted the fence (front garden)
Chopped back all the tatty looking perennials (front garden)
Walked into town (paid in cheque, posted RMS item at PO, requested repeat prescription at GP surgery)
Go me :T
