Once you encouraged us to speak up and challenge - so - ducking - I sometimes think your scores are too low. Your family sounds lovely, you work hard, you are really supportive on here...add a number or twoMade 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 -

Hello Tilly.
Well...save money. Tick. To prove we could. Tick. To lose weight. Big quack quack oops.
We dont drink on schoolnights anyway but when a glass of wine starts to be a dominant thought I think it is time for the test!! We will likely do September.
Aww Watty. Kind of you.
Unintended consequences of not drinking are a total recovery from insomnia and weirdly no weight lost.
The irrational paranoia is still strong!
