    Just caught up - I loved watching my robot vac too :) (It was not up to the job here though!)

    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 !!

    The cats watch the robot vac here (also not up to the job but keeps it bearable between visits from the cleaner!).
