    People playing silly beggars at work when they ought to have enough to do with working. Grump grump and I have a vicious head cold.

    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

    Happy birthday ...for the last 45 mins of the day! Yummy gifts and hope day was 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 !!
