I get the feeling it's going to be one of those days :coffee:0 -
found your thread this morning. Great to see you back Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

First time I've been in this neck of the woods for a couple of years - it's great to still see some of the diaries I used to follow back in the day! Sounds like you've got it all under control Ed. 0
