    A fair spread, but not huge. There are five and a half years between my three but now they are grown up it is as if there is no gap at all. Lovely ages. Wish mine were like that again, says she peering through her rose coloured glasses. Xxxxx. Hope you had a good day out.
    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

    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 !!

    Ride it? Chase it? Put roller skates on it?

    Chasing is probably the best bet.

    Take the partition in trailer out and herd it in? I reckon it would work. At the Fell Pony sales they do it like that and there are always some old farmer types around to help out. At the last Fell Pony off the fells sale there were some fab posts on Faceache with old farmer/breeder types offering advice and saying they would help any inexperienced folk do it. One person went from Cornwall to Cumbria, bought, had it loaded and the advice was just don't stop driving/open box till you get home then put in field and leave for a week and it'll forget all about it.


    So now I've countered the objections you can go :)

    So having Plops already in the trailer wouldn't help?

    I can't get our partition out.
