    So blooming scunnered & just covered in scrapes & bruises. One bruise is a bit odd as it also has a puncture in it. Very odd.

    hope today is better and you feel less battered.,
    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 !!
