Proud Parents here.
Our youngest, received the keys to his property, a stones throw from us,  I mean a stones throw, 100 meters.
The loan amount scares the crap out of us, just under half a Mil.
Those of you, that saw Jack last, it was at Mansfield, National Myswag Meet.
He has completed his apprenticeship as a Fitter & Turner, Harwood Sugar Refinery, in a great relationship with his girl, who is starting her journey in nursing.

Happy Days :)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20260119/997e7ffb050156687549f8f595b783a8.jpg)

Saw this up in the window of an empty shop (which I think may have been a tattoo parlour?) in Narrandera! ;D  :police:

Congrats Hairs, it's a great feeling not having a mortgage to worry about, it certainly takes a load off.

this big boofhead here.

at 11.5 year of age... he's been having a hard time the last year. Clearly in pain and limping when he walks sometimes.

took him to the vet last week and xrays confirmed it's age and arthritis.

We've had him on Antinol tablets and hemp oil since just before XMAS and they're helped.

But on Friday at the vet, they gave him an injection to the joint. And now he's a new dog. Trotting around, no limping. He'll get the injection once a month for the next two months then he switches to every three months then every six.

just really happy to see him no longer limping and in pain.

It is a good feeling Hairs. For us it has meant that we can now plan the next part of our life's journey. We have an appointment with our financial advisor next week as we plot out our road to retirement.
