    Grief strips you of energy so you are doing well to engage with the building process as well as you are.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Hang in there, you are doing well even if it might not feel like it just now
    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 !!

    Ooh glossy mags. Some much needed relaxation.
    As someone on here often says, keep plodding

    Thanks @foxgloves, the money will be very gratefully received 

    I do like a bit of glossy escapism @doingitanyway, as long as its free! 
    Like our pal @beanielou, I'm keeping on plodding. Still processing the senselessness of the death, still being mucked around by broker over the valuer's nonsense measurement assessment

    Always good to be plodding but boo to the blooming broker. It takes a long time to grieve someone who was so important to you & they will always be there with you 🤗🤗🤗
