    olive tree envy because obviously you are winning 😊

    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 !!

    Thanks for the lucky vibes @Watty1

    Ha also waiting for that day @badmemory

    Glad you got the coupon @peb. Wordle in easier mode lets you put in any (actual) words so you can get extra letters in and see what more is eliminated, whereas in hard mode you have to include the letters you already have
