    Sorry to hear this. Sending love for both of 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 !!

    So sorry - can I send some of the chocolate and date and nut truffle things I made at the weekend?  On their way with a gentle hug.

    Oh no.
    Chocolate sent.
    Do they bring the shopping in and put up on your counter for you?
