15/20 And nice as we went to the pub yesterday afternoon and I had a pot of tea and I have realised that from a very shaky start I might actually make my target.
Thanks for all the good wishes and 20 for June is a good callMade 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 !!6 -
Wishing you well for your op next week @Watty1 and well done on your total so far
I am working today and, as I work behind the bar in a pub, it will be very busy as it is Bank Holiday. Declaring early for today so I won’t be tempted to stay on for a drink when I finish work 😱.
