    DD was on the winning PC quiz team and is apparently off to the finals in Warwickshire!!

    Wonderful !
    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 !!

    Only that means we have to go...

    Today I have

    got down the yard for 8am
    rally at ten
    an hour standing in the pouring rain at 5 degrees
    slipped up and bought a coat in the sale (30 quid)
    Taken DD1 shooting
    Finally rounded up the last of the toys and made them prisoner in the attic
    Assembled two IKEA sofas, only shouting once when puppylove decided it looked like a sofa and leapt on it
    Lost a toy graveyard and gained a drawing room.

    Exhausted, but I have promises to keep...
