Remember, it is like dieting - losing the weight is only half the battle.....just because the scales say we are at target weight, doesn't mean we can scoff again! So.......once a DFW, always a DFW. And let's face it, why would we want to be anything different

I think once I've saved up and done the flat up I will overpay a bit while waiting for it to sell so who knows - I could be MF before I sell !...
