Declaring early. Another week on the freedom from domestic abuse programme and i really want to have a glass of wine so declaring early so that instead I will go and buy some chocolates! Nice ones from the Marks and Sparkle shop that is near enough by.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 !!6 -
