    Exciting! Good luck :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Right well DH is exhausted and grumpy.

    I keep going pony yomping and making a list of all my to dos then being too knackered to do anything about it.

    Here goes

    DD tennis booking
    Make a pony first aid kit
    Pay PC subs
    Arrange saddle fitter check
    Book babysitter for next sat
    Put homebrew on
    Hem DHs trousers...

    More to come, doubtless.

    Applied for job in the spirit of Morgan Freeman in the Shawshank Redemption.

    I have done the tennis one and the pc subs one. No longer need a babysitter.

    Need to sort DH car insurance.

    I have started clearing an area of our kitchen that the fitters called the oil refinery so I have a home for the homebrew;)

    So far today we have rung the church bells, poo picked, groomed and ridden pony, been swimming, been to a charity coffee morning arranged by 13 year olds and had lunch between us.

    It is too hot to do much.

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Very good luck with the interview. I am sure you will knock them dead, and there is no such thing as a foregone conclusion.
    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
