    O-level maths is a peculiar beast. I failed mine twice - both 'U' (ungraded), yet I passed quite an advanced statistics/quantitative methods module which was an obligatory study unit for my MA. Though tbf I also wasted shocking amounts of time in maths lessons.

    Happy birthday weekend, and, also impressed by those two students!
    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 !!
