    A huge majority of my friends work in the trust but even that aside I know that certain trusts monitor what is written. I am just very careful and rarely post stuff. I wouldn't bother at all but unfortunately I'm nosey!

    this made me laugh. One of my joys in facebook is seeing what others are up to - which is odd because I am certain people only put up a glamorised version of life really.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Or swear, they only get one decent swear and then I unfriendly them.
    My niece constantly posts pictures of her meals, my other niece I swear she does a selfie a day... this is me, this is me, me, me again, jeez.

    Bizarrely my "senior" managers have some posts I wouldn't dream of doing, in onesies, going to macD in pj s, drunk.

    Being politically incorrect the naked selfies I found some really scary, then everyone saying how gorgeous and fabulous the person looked, I get its for charity and sorry if I've offended but think prefer an ice bucket...
