Wow Lynzy - congratulations on your surprise promotion - how wonderful!!!
I firmly believe that we only get thrown at us, what we can cope with - even if it doesn't seem that way at the time!! And it DOES get easier with age, that's about the only good thing about getting older....
I wish and hope and pray with all my heart that your mortgage is sorted soon, and you get the home you're longing for. A big hug
from across the pond! Sally + Harry x
