            3/14 for me today please.
 After a long day visiting brother and (very opinionated) SIL yesterday, I caved last night.
 Me and DH are visiting his sister and (lovely) BIL tomorrow, then his two brothers on Saturday. They're all Cambridgeshire/Northants way, whereas we are North West. DH is a nervous traveller so we don't visit often. All that to say I'll be off-line for a couple of days :-)What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?5

            Ticking off this evening making it 5/23Made 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 !!3

            Morning, 6/30 please cathybird and thanks as always for keeping score.
 Had a strange dream a couple of nights ago where some friends tricked me into tasting some non-alcoholic gin and then told
 me afterwards that it was the real thing, my first overriding thought, even in the dream was, ‘Ahh, how am I going to square this up
 with the MSE cutting-down thread, does it still count as drinking even if it was totally inadvertent?’
 Proof that this thread must have sunk pretty deep into my subconscious for it to have featured so clearly in an anxiety dream!
