    Lets hope the run of bad luck with the cars is now over and done with and you can move on x
    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 !!

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Have a lovely and hopefully restful weekend. It is too wet to go out so you may as well snuggle up with the smalls and take a deep breath.
    All the best,
    Squirrel
    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

    Thanks squirrel. Well DH took DD2 to ballet and i took DD1 and DS to a rally. Ponyplops was excellent considering she has had 5 days off and DS got to watch a farrier at work.
    £10 rally but £107 on diesel yesterday.

    Yes here in Wales we get free prescriptions but a potholed road system. So what we save on scripts, we lose on tyres and car suspensions :rotfl:
