😂😂😂😂 Not really 😉 And, tbh I want to keep my powder dry about it, and just slip away after the meeting in December, not make it known until 1st January.debtfreewannabe321 said:I think you should bring celebratory cake to your last meeting 😁 and just spend the meeting eating cake. Or is that not how these things work 🤔😉😁.In other news, it was six years ago today that we moved in here. Mr KK has just had a memory come up on faceache showing us eating home cooked fish and chips (from the freezer) as we were so utterly bone tired, neither of us could face driving the five minutes to buy them from the local chippy! The kitchen was literally stacked out with boxes, but I had set up a ‘moving house pack’ so we had two plates, two sets of cutlery, two glasses and I managed to unpack some condiments after some rummaging …
A lot has happened since then! 😊😉

Thanks @Merlin's_Beard, @beanielou, @edinburgher 😊
Mr KK has booked a table at my favourite restaurant for my birthday dinner 😊❤️
I have just sent remote Kaji to a friend of a friend who has had a heart attack. It felt easy and flowed gently but strongly - I feel unstuck and unblocked in a way I haven’t for a very long time 😊

Happy house anniversary and nice work on the healing vibes. May you both benefit.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 !!2
