    "A female spectator was ejected from the Crucible Theatre after jumping over the barrier and shouting in protest against the television licence during the World Championship final."

    Assume this is not you PIP as I think you would be protesting about Thames water and council tax before you start your tv licence protests?

    I’ve sold curtains on marketplace. I bought a pair but hated them when I put them up. Couldn’t return so sold them for very little in the end. Vinted might be worth a look too

    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 !!

    Yep @badmemory 😂😭

    🥂 @beanielou

    We have chosen carpets. Have gone pleasantly neutral in the two bedrooms and possibly well odd in the study, which I think is a reasonable ratio

    Have contacted cupboards quote about works, have contacted council about when exactly we would need to pay council tax, have basketed but not bought fancy towels, have reassured Mr PIP we can go without other things but I will not be going without fancy shelf brackets in the living room 😂

    By neutral I assume you mean you will end up with lime green and disco ball carpet 🤣
