    Helloooo Earthie!

    Thanks for the luck.

    Another potential side hustle had a nibble today (supply at local school).

    Apparently these days they watch you teach to do SUPPLY! Presumably you're not allowed a lesson plan🤣

    Thanks @newgirly

    They have my brother and SIL. I fear my brother does not have good intentions :(

    £762 on groceries last month.

    Worrying about the olds.  I hope you are wrong about your brother 
    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 !!

    I think it's natural to worry about parents moving. My dad has moved 3 times since getting divorced and my mum/stepdad are currently rationalising a 4-house stramash (can't call it a portfolio). Granted, they're all a wee bit younger than your olds. I hope it works out ok :)

    Was thinking about you today and now you pop up.  Is there still a wedding the planning?
