Back home (well I have been for a week) and as per usual struggling to get back to AFDs. Hoping to achieve 1 tonight but will wait until tomorrow to declare as my will power seems non existent at the moment and it wouldn’t take much to derail that intention.

7/20 I have a week managed.

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 !!
