    Love the copper nitrate !!
    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 !!

  • Here is an English teacher's joke for Ed.

    Did you hear about the dyslexic insomniac agnostic?
    He was up all night wondering if there was a dog.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Loving it ... my fave English teaching joke was slightly different to that and definitely not one for the kids! I'd share but don't want to lower the tone on your thread A! :o
