    2/20   Trying a bottle of Everleaf this month.  Was nice to have an AF drink last night, but, not as nice as the pentire one I bought last month.  Trying options, different one every couple of months.  Yes they are expensive but probably less than I was paying for wine.
    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 !!
