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

    Wahoo on the falling mortgage :)
    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 !!

    Great win on the raffle and a perfect treat day with DS.

    Pleased with the fireplace?

    Blinds sound fab, those finishing touches will make a cosy difference - get those candles out :D
