    Poppy - how exciting. I don't read for a few days and you buy a new car and nearly pay off the mortgage in full. Wow. You have been so disciplined in recent months and you deserve to be very happy. I hope you are really proud of what you have achieved when it could have been so easy and understandable to not do a lot this year. You are one inspirational woman.

    Girl power.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I wish I could make OPs- must be great to keep whittling away at the mortgage. Well done!
