    Loving the jokes but had to snuffle giggles as Mr Watty thinks I am working!
    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 !!

    Bad news Ed. How is your caffeine intake? My early waking and not going back to sleep is better since reducing my coffee intake.

    I thought of you when Paxo was on the radio. He said the best cure for insomnia was a good novel, because if you woke up you could rejoin the story.

    Tilly good on your DD.

    :wave:

    And the best cause of insomnia is laying awake trying to work out the punchline ... I even asked Mr. Hbbb whose dad was a policeman (many long years ago) in case I was missing the word play, so he now thinks I'm completely dotty because I keep asking him "what do you call a policeman's overtime?" as a genuine question, without offering up a conclusion!

    So go on, A, put me (and now Mr. Hbbb) out of suspense ... I don't know, what do you call a policeman's overtime?

    Alchemilla, why do you always write about ponyplops and never horseyplops? I think you're well over-due a ride yourself!!

    Bad in that I have to cut my caffeine? I'd say medium-high, but I am particularly sensitive to the effects of caffeine (love coffee tho!)
