    You could rent out your garden as background for spooky films with a graveyard backdrop.......
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Peace and quiet, wildlife and wildflowers, open vistas, it's perfect. We had the only one in the town about 100 yards away from us, and it was great.

    DH just reminded me our last house was right by the graveyard but somehow it is less spooky with a church attached.

    It was behind a wall and I didn't give it a thought.

    I used to drive by a house off a rural lane with a graveyard for a garden. I loved it. So quiet, as KC says lots of lovely wildlife and vistas and no need to garden much. And think of the fun researching who is "out there"....
    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 !!

    I guess that's one way to get to know your neighbours.

    Well DH back to work today. It is going to be a long day as DS has already started the vacuum cleaner lectures. He has been going half an hour already.

    I must remember that relatively soon he will be at uni and won't want to talk to me.

    Some jobs for today

    think about moderation work
    wash bedlinen
    sort out car insurance
    book puppylove in to vets
    apply for replacement driving licence.

    Dishwasher unloaded and on, wm unloaded and on.

    We have been living it up for more than a week. Feeling really unhealthy as a result!

    Vacuum cleaner lectures? My brother was good with the vacuum cleaner as a teen, actually!

    I know what you mean about the living it up - for me, it usually means my body is crying out for water.

    Hope today's a good un, you're off to an early start, thats for sure
