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

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

Just paid the home loan.

Bang right on, 27 years.
Through the redraw, It's helped paid for several cars, kids teeth, time I was unable to work (brain  hemorrhage, 1999).
60, next month, still working, new Knee, not retiring yet.
Happy Days.

Congratulations!

Nice work Hairyone.... now think of all that extra cash you'll have for trips!

[Pottsy]

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.

Thanks Rags,
It's a weird kinda a feeling.
Not having to think about the $$$ needed every week for repayments.
That's nearly $1800 a month we can put towards, a weekend away, help the kids, catch up with friends at pub more often for a meal out.
Being able to now think about subdivision of our two acres and help set up the kids.
It also means, when it comes to my business, not stressing as much about it.
If I don't get the job, so be it.
Happy Days.
Cheers

My dog has been getting stiff and showing signs of pain. The vet recommended a course of injections (3i think ) and 4cyte for dogs 1.5ml once a day for a 30kg dog

It has done wonders for her. I figured that if it wasn't working or stopped working that we could have $500 worth of injections later
