    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Fabulous overpayments !
    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 !!

    Plan for today:

    - sleep - I felt better for a nap, teeth are achy now rather than painful but my salivary glands are swollen...
    - monitor work e-mail - done
    - potter in garden - another bed tidied resulting in 4 more sacks of garden waste and chicken topiary clipped
    - apples! 500 g of apples slices frozen - not sure what to do with the rest... unfortunately they are eaters not cookers
