    Glad to hear you had a nice time with your pals beanie. Hopefully you'll receive the dvla good news this week. 
    Re Vinted, I do think people should put whether the clothes come from a smoke free house when listing. and also whether the home is dog or cat free as some folk are allergic. But then they probably wouldn't get as many sales.....

    Thanks @Seasidegal58. Yes, Vinted is a very mixed bag. Sometimes it is fantastic and sometimes it’s dreadful.

    Thank you @beanielou   Your comment about Vinted being a mixed bag just saved me £25   I was thinking about buying a skirt and instead I will save the money.  I do not need the skirt and if it were on the good side of the mixed bag ok but if it were on the poor side, well I don't need that :)
    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 !!
