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 !!1 -
One of these days I am going to get it in one. Pity that would just be luck but I wouldn't turn it down!

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

Sadly more aims to achieve build after this one but we're breaking it down into sections to not go mad!
Speaking of going mad... there was a question on a comp quiz we do today about which bands are American. I was really confident in thinking one of the bands (Twenty One Pilots) was from New Zealand. This was the wrong answer. I was so sure I looked it up online and sure enough I was right. So I sent a friendly email to the quiz saying their setter/programme had got it wrong.
They replied and said the band were definitely American. I looked it up again and the internet said they were American. Mr PIP saw my earlier search result (same search terms and site) and saw it said NZ, and he'd never heard of them so wasn't having knowledge bias.
Either we live in a computer simulation that's messing about, or a wave of new reality has washed upon us, or I'm going completely mad
I do appreciate this sounds quite mad 😁
