    :beer::beer:YES YOU Beanie:T:T
    You are incredible
    - you battle every day keeping upright and mobile
    - you inspire people on here (and I daresay in RL)
    - you are plodding away with your mortgage
    - you volunteer

    And that's just what I know from on here - in my books you are indeedy an incredible plodding lady ;)

    Another agreed here :)

    You are on my list Beanie to pay off your mortgage if I win the lottery. Though as I only buy euromillions tickets about twice a year and the Spanish El Gordo at Xmas I expect you'll have paid it off first :rotfl:.

    Keep on keeping on :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Really close for you now Beanie - I have just the perfect celebratory bottle ready and waiting for when you are mortgage free. I hope you are less wobbly today and your teeth settle.

    I volunteer in my local foodbank - I had no idea..............

    I keep that sort of list too - except I never buy any lottery tickets, so in my case, its the big premium bond prize :)
    Keep on keeping on :)
    Absolutely - when it comes down to it, it's the only thing to do. But as well as keeping on, enjoy what you can, it helps in so many ways - like the sunshine today, or its aftermath, at any rate.

    Many hugs, beanie.
