Maybe we can all go on an MFW cruise together once we have ridded ourselves of these dratted mortgages 😀!
In the meantime....🙄 Sunday morning is cleaning morning! I excelled myself today by actually taking out the whole cleaning product box and seeing what was in it. Good job too, as one of them had leaked and the box was full of gunge. Unexpected items included a bottle of carpet cleaner (the only carpet I have here at the moment is in the bathroom so it must be a hangover from my old flat, and as it's Vanish it must be something I nicked from my Mum as I can't imagine I would ever have shelled out for that 🤣!) and (completely inexplicably) a scart lead. Box washed and now drying, bottles washed and now drying, carpet cleaner retained for when I have carpets in the future and scart lead binned!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Hi All,
Oh group cruise! put me down for that in 2046🤣 once the kids have left home. I can’t remember what the ship was called; but it was fun and we saw a lot of different places. It was around 93 and in the Easter holidays. I had to save up my Christmas/birthday moneys & pocket money for about 18 months for my share of the tickets and my grandparents paid half of the costs. I was a MSE from a young age🤣.4 -
PS SC hope the new is going really well. CM4

I kind of like the idea of a cruise but DH was well against them until he realised the Disney have their own cruise line
Now he want's to go on their Norwegian / Scandinavia cruise which is one of my bucket list items. Might leave it for a few years though for when we can't stomach going on anymore rollercoasters
