Money wise it’s been NSD1 of September. Finances have been checked and pots reconciled. The regular savers have been fed and another £150 overpayment has gone to the mortgage. Only 3 more payments to go plus a tiny amount of remaining balance (about £80) due on 1 January then that’s the mortgage finally done. I’ve made a new budget for January onwards.I keep trying to steam mop the kitchen floor but Mr SA is constantly shuffling in and out of the house. Just when I think he’s settled down/asleep he reappears.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

I shouldn't laugh, @Sun_Addict, as I know your patience is sorely tried at times, but I do love tales of Mr SA's packing.
