    Did someone mention a dodgy group hug :D

    :grouphug:

    Another one here with few friends and close family.

    Basically we're all a bunch of weirdos :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    You've all made me smile.


    thank you :)
    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 !!

    Busy weekend. Went to an evening wedding reception Sun eve - the wedding was clearly an amazing affair, the eve reception quite splendid. All held in a charming castle where attention to detail was perfect. Huge fun.
    But the cost - they got the venue and catering half price as was a Sunday - only £30,000 :eek: Plus cars, dresses, cakes, etc etc. I saw some of the photos and it was the most stunning location and day but wow what a price!


    Did smile at a conversation held over the weekend. Someone was asking me about Mr Watty's life insurance and was horrified when I said he didn't have any and, for that, matter neither did I. He began to expand on the vital need for same when I said I had written a guide to running my business that would mean Mr Watty had a plan if anything happened to me and that he was happy with this. " But what you do if anything happened to him??? How would you pay the mortgage?" the man asked.
    I will not forget his face when I replied "We don't have one"
    :rotfl:
    Priceless! He was amazed that Mr Watty and I do not have a mortgage and thus ended his pitch for life insurance.

    Super massive congratulations for paying off your mortgage - truly a fantastic achievement! :T

    Ps. All you people need to stop moaning about only having one or two close friends. Some of us are awkward INFJs and haven't had a good friend in *decades* :o
