  • Hi
    I'm sorry to hear about your son.

    Your mortgage seems to be quite high do you have any spare rooms could you take in foreign students or a lodger?

    We don't have a spare room....our mortgage is a little higher than it may have been if my husband hadn't been self employed for less than 2 years when we were taking it out.

    DH's mobile, at £30 covers his mobile calls & texts (never had to pay additional yet) and our internet service. This is through Orange. I guess there are people who thnk that Internet is a thing we can live without, but DH's business has a website and his pupils do use both that and they email too. So as a package of both and broadband internet I don't think that's bad, is it?

    PM your husband's website address and I'll review and offer some suggestions on how it could be more easily found in search engines (if needed).
