    Aw that’s lovely to hear you had a great time with DS, he sounds like a wonderful son, all credit to you. 8 hours is a very long drive!

    that made me smile so much - 8 hours driving to see you - love that.

    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 !!
