    Declaring early 1/23
    I listened to a podcast on menopause being a lady of a certain age and one thing really struck me, that choosing to have a drink is, for some women, choosing as well not to sleep.    Girlfriends and I had a tea party in the garden yesterday with a lot of wine.  I drank.  I didn't sleep.  I'm shattered so declaring early for tonight as I want to sleep.
    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 !!
