Not at all petty. Mine sometimes stops our lessons early, but, with a good reason like baby is tired, or something was wonderful and she wants to leave it there because it is nearly the end - or -I'm knackered and I say so
But just to end early ...no ..not on! 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 !!0 -

Better in the wee barrow than in his pants. How is he getting on with the ballet?Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!

Ballet is on summer recess. I don't think it will be his thing but we wanted him to have opportunity like the older two.0
