    can't believe the dark icy mornings bit - mind you - its like November here :(
    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 !!
  • Not icy yet but it will be at some point.

    What a shame the house has damp problems, its stunning. I am very jealous how much you can get for your money :o
    MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁
  • Eyeing up another now which is a knock-it-down-and-build-a-new-one.
    Tarting up the house is on the agenda today...just in case.
  • There has been an enquiry and 200-odd details sent out for the house already.

    Exciting! I have been sleeping with great dynamism...time to do something useful other than stringing beans, washing and swapping garden machinery with my Dad.
  • Finally a NSD.
    Today I am grateful for
    * naps
    * Puppylove. She is a great companion.
    * George RR Martin (reading the Game of Thrones stories)
    * sight of the rainball
    * we are live on tinternet with the new agent.

    I heard someone bagpiping the GOT theme - epic!

    Hope your new agent has some better ideas than the first one :)

    I was meant to start reading GOT when I finished my course. Hasn't happened yet. I need to set myself a reading challenge as every year I want to read more but don't!

    Hope new agent proves to be successful for you.
