    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    Well done to dd. Proud mum moment I bet :)
    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 !!

    It was only a moment. Neutralised by DD2 having a massive tantrum at school.

    So tired now I cant keep my head up. Spent £30.
    Money 6/10
    Family 6/10. Tried hard.
    Health and fitness 2/10.
    Work. 9/10. Could not have worked harder today.

    I disagree. A tantrum is a single event - I know they feel as if they are lasting for decades, but in fact they are measured in minutes. DD1's SATs success, OTOH, is the result of years of good parenting allowing her to learn effectively. Give yourself the credit you deserve. :T
