    Thanks all - yes it could bring in cash, but not as well paid as my substantive role. But it’s completely different which may be liberating? And always good to have a back up plan even at my advanced age;)

    I am not as good on the UFM challenge as I should be XS, I am blaming the presence of a new lodger who needs feeding for that...but I then see that her message for today is Banish Excuses.....oh dear.... :rotfl:

    Must also update the signature and go for a run. Weather is turning rainy again here so should really go sooner rather than later

    I hope the side hustle works out well for you, it sounds like a good way to challenge yourself and a bonus if it's good for your wellbeing too. Good luck with it :)

    I think that's a good time for a lodger!
