    I can’t believe in this day and age there is still discrimination about pets. Time something was done about it. For goodness sake they’re not going to burn the house down!! There are far more humans damage property than pets 🤬

  • Have you found a car yet? I assume that's what the loan was for?

    It is extremely frustrating, when my parents stayed for long time abroad part of the bonus of having the house was I had pets, I remember when I rented and I couldn't have any - so begun a house plant problem ;)

  • Oh well it was nice to dream. 

    I do realise that once mum goes were ever she goes next I will lose the animals. I just don't like admitting it. 

    Until today I figured it was because I wouldn't ever own my own place. Not because of the lease hold/freehold thing. Hey ho. You live and learn. 

    Does that really have to be the case?  You've talked before about moving somewhere cheaper near a friend.  Wouldn't it be an opportunity to relocate both of you?

    It is only one evening a week, been reading diaries on here and really I don't have the money I need, I just don't earn enough.

    To be honest, I am not going to think about it for a while. When I thought about that plan, I was going to buy the house "now" and rent it  out as security but that won't work as I can't get a buy to let mortgage. There are lots of possibilities,  I think I shall just continue to save to put myself in the best position I can for whatever happens next with Mum.

    no, Mechanic is on the case, fingers crossed he will find something soon.

    Has anyone watched Don't look up? 

    It is good, funny and entertaining (tho it does go on a bit) 

    And as I watch more, you could if you were so inclined see some parallels with covid, it is darkly funny. 

    Since lockdown I only seem to watch repeats. I don't have the concentration for new stuff.  Watching this taking a lot of focus.

  • Ok, having watched all of it, it is a really good if odd, I read a bit about it and it could be a metaphor for climate change. Very clever I think.
