    So glad you got that ticked off.    It is one less thing to worry about I'm sure.  hope today is restful and enjoyable.
    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 !!
