    That’s beautiful jessy, I’m sure she will love it!
    Sorry to hear about your colleague, I think there will be a lot of companies clearing out staff they want to do away with or replace and often they find a way to work around the redundancy rules. Even if they break them I fear that at the moment there will be such an avalanche of unfair dismal claims that lots may slip through the net ☹️

    Thanks NG :)
    I have to agree, I think companies will use the pandemic as an excuse to get rid of people they don't think fit in with their ways! 
    I've been mortgage free once, so let's do it again!
