'Morning everyone! It's raining!!! Yippeee!!!! We need it soooo bad!!!

I love breakfast burritos!! Don't know how well they'd go with Baileys though..... ......but they go perfectly with a coke!

I'll save some of that "out of this world" cake for a mid morning snack.

Slick, in the US, from what I understand, they have to give you the option of making payments on the special assessment instead of requiring it in one lump sum. I know that doesn't make it any easier to swallow, but at least it's a little easier on the pocket book. I hate special assessments.

Corinna, special assessments are for condo and townhome owners because technically they are the owners of the building and are responsible for it's maintenance and upkeep. There is a montly assessment fee which they are supposed to put a certain amount away each month so when major repairs are needed, they can just go into their capital fund for the money, but sooo many associations don't do that, so when major repairs are needed they come up with the lovely "special assessment." Ultimately it's for the owner's good because it's maintaining the building that they own, so it's keeping up their own property and they should get a return on that when they sell, but it's still hard to stomach a "special" assessment when you're paying a "monthly" assessment every sinking month!

Ok, enough of my rant, I think my burrito is almost done....
