    Hope the appointment goes well and you are soon back home with your furries. 

    Glad you've had a couple of nice outings. I'm sure your friends are just happy for you to be there, that's your contribution. 
    Thank you. 

    Not going to lie though. I am not looking forward to what they will do.

    Sorry to hear it was as bad as you thought.  Sending love and light
    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 !!
