Sadly he wants to move out of home. Financially this is nonsense, but his choice

Good luck to your son silvercar, both on the home and career fronts. Exciting times.

Having no idea what you do, this was totally above me.

Are you running a brothel?

Something like that, certainly.

Got to use your talents, you know

It has other benefits. He might bounce back later and for him spreading his wings now might be just the right thing. Huge congratulations to him, and to you!

Just realised I have a silly committee meeting and nothing clean to wear to it tomorrow night. Today half the village must have driven or cycled by while I was wearing a bum freezer tatty yellow sundress (its for gardening in) and a brown blanket, red sun glasses and a huge pink sunhat. If I haven't got a reputation as ' a bit dubious' I really should have.

Wear that tomorrow night. It clears up your doubt of what they might think/say - and - solves your "what to wear" problem.... all in one move.

I found a really nice looking walking stick I want from the states and dh won't buy it for me because its called a pimp stick. I don't really care if other people see it as that, I would think of it as something quite different. Only problem is I'd need more than one as its not height adjustable.

You could start a sideline business - whittling sticks into canes. You can do that sitting down .... and affix locally-sourced carved tops for them from artisan wood turners, metalsmiths and resin casters. And the chippy-bits/offcuts.... you can use for fuel or sell as garden mulch/weed stopper stuff
