Hello,

Hope weather does allow and you have a lovely warm timeMade 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 !!0 -

Hi Alchemilla,
Hope you have managed to get away and have a lovely weekend
I liked that nickel and diming quote is it from a book or something ? In some ways i think is it something i do? But then the stuff i am buying *needs* to be bought - i am just doing it cheaply and at the best possible price - but might something i can take from the book / on-line talk etc. if its from anything like that
