Went to physio in two odd shoes :rotfl:
:rotfl: This made me laugh out loud but please let me explain.
My mum went to work with two odd shoes on one time. They were so different we couldn't understand how she could have got it so wrong. My dad and I spent a whole 15 minute car journey coming up with mismatched pairs of shoes to compare to mum's ones. One was an ice skate, one was a ballet shoe. One was a welly boot, one was a flip flop. One was a football boot, one was a high heel. You get the idea. Every time someone says they wore odd shoes I think about this and it makes me giggle again. Thank you because I needed something cheerful today Mortgage at 12/07/2022 = £175,000
Mortgage today = £161,690.76
300 271 payments to go.House buyout fund £21,000/£40,000
