I was catching up on your diary, read the gammon one and thought I need to comment about the zombie survey I had today and you got it too!! It was the one which person in your family would be beat to fight off a zombie attack that got me.Who is asking these questions and why? Why do you need to know this. You’re paying me 15p for my zombie thoughts!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

I doubt it, they'll just keep making things like that up 🤣!
DFOD, did you pass it to your kids to answer the last question about who in the family they thought would be best placed to cope with zombies? I was intrigued by that one, but no 7-12 year olds!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I'VE DONE IT!!!
Called first thing this morning, asked for a redemption figure, was told I needed to request a redemption statement and they "normally" arrive the same day 😮😮😮 Cue me thinking "I've got fizz on ice, it needs to be today!!!"*
Anyway, after an hour and a bit of furiously refreshing my email, the statement arrived and I've just called and paid off the balance. I feel a bit teary and shaky, so may jump up and start dancing about in a bit to try and work out the adrenaline (and then get back with some work 😳)
I'll be back over the weekend no doubt with something more profound to say, but in the meantime thank you to all of you for your support and jollying me on to continue with this crazy quest 😀😀😀!!! Hurrrah!
* Fizz is actually in the fridge, but "on ice" sounds better 😀Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)
