    Lol, that was merely a reference to the seating plan, not the philosophical mood of the event 😁. I suspect if we sit last supper style we will still be knitting, stitching, stretching over the table for the snacking and gossiping together in the very friendliest of ways. Round the table style - maybes we start a joint project and quilt something like an old fashioned quilting bee 😁 till watty and Her arrives

    Count me in! I am all invested now on a serious note I do hope it works out. I know what it is like to work in a small professional circle every one just everyone knows everyone and keep swapping jobs etc.

    You lot are hilarious. You are all the bright spot in this negotiation and have made me laugh so much with the comments.

    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 !!
