    ohhh that is huge!

    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 !!

    That’s just not on. Especially after all the stress you went through getting this flat built in the first place. Shame on her 😡
