I am feeling very emotional today. In less than a week my boy will be gone to his new job. I am so very pleased for him but it’s a long way away. I will miss him. So pleased for him though that he moves onto the next chapter of his life that he has worked so hard to achieve. Follow your dreams. 💙📚I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Must be mixed feelings for you with him getting his dream job but far away. Maybe he’ll move back closer in time 🤞I guess he has to go where the work is for now.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

My DS lives over 20 miles away which doesn’t sound far in the grand scheme of things but realistically when you’re relying on them to come here it’s a different matter.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2
