    It’s definitely something Mr PiP could talk about at interviews when asked, when have you tackled a challenge outside your experience or comfort zone 😊👏

    The cheapest flats up here are on for around 30k so if it all gets too much there's an escape plan

    Well done - but - I'm more interested in the cat tbh 😍

    @welshmansdaughter that is my escape plan of last resort - move somewhere were flats are in the 30K range and give up!

    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 !!
