    Hello muddywhitechicken!

    How wonderful to **see** you - and thank you sooooo much for sharing such good news.  Well done to you and MrMWC for all the hard work, choices and sacrifice that goes into paying off a mortgage early.

    Still got the chucks?  Done anymore DIY/decorating at MWC Towers?   

    Love and best wishes Greying XX
