    ex-racehorses! Good lord Floppy. You have nerves of steel!
    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 !!

    Thanks Floppy.

    Watty is right that would scare the wotsit out of me.

    Cheers m'dears.

    The news is not so good on the aga front. I think I had allowed oil to get in the vermiculite packing...hence the fumes.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    How do you find so many things to eBay? Is it clothes,mor books, or do you have an amazing stash of knick knacks?

    Very well done. I admire your tenacity in listing them all!
    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

    I confess to buying four job lots of things to sell on for profit.

    I think a car boot sale may be more effective though.
