Good afternoon 5/21 please (declaring early)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 -

Good morning, 7/26 for me please for yest. Have a good day everyone!Student loan £5655

Yesterday made 7/25,please cathybird. Bring on the long legged guy with sunglasses!Today may be the first non AFD of the month,as DS1s partner buries her father today. Its possible however I wont be attending,am woozy and queasy,a bit unsteady on my feet. Its getting near my 3 monthly B12 injection,the last few weeks I get significantly weaker,breathless and generally under par. Add to that my back,where I cant stand for more than 5 minutes at a time without experiencing excruciating pain,I think a long catholic funeral and graveside ceremony will just be too much. But it would look very bad, not attending,so I am in two minds. We'll see how it goes.3
