@Vitawealth1 No right or wrong answers. Just doing something similar. I’ve gone for a 5 year fixed and extended my mortgage term from 15 to 20 years to make the increased monthly amount a bit more palatable.

@GameliaTyburn @Marcus___007 I worked at ChildLine in the 90s. No-one worked for Esther. She was chairman and didn’t really have anything to do with the staff. She had strong opinions and a passion for how she thought it should be run. I have mixed opinions about her but bullying of staff is not one of them.

@AlisonMoyet @mellor824 I’ve seen the set list and there is a healthy mix of bangers in there. Just ain’t no pleasing some people. Looking forward to Cambridge!

@Albertprince75 It’s spoiled our long car journeys as they don’t have names on them any more.

@Beeeefy1 @Albertprince75 Or the French toothpaste lorries as we used to call them.

@GMFinX I earn £75k. Single parent to two. London mortgage, decent car, had to pay for ft child care 0-5, never claimed anything. We have regular although modest holidays and don’t skimp on treats. I’ve worked hard to get there. It’s all about budgeting and living within your means.

@James_Merry_ @diplobrocus It’s not just people who can’t/won’t find jobs. My 32yo daughter diagnosed with cancer. Had to give up her job and home. UC process has been more depressing than any of the health stuff we have been through. Neither of us had ever stepped foot in a job centre before. Its grim.

A large national company that can’t tell the difference between midday and midnight (I assume they are not planning to deliver at 12am) @RoyalMail #sacktheproofreader

Who are perhaps less articulate or more vulnerable. Six weeks after applying, she still hasn’t received any UC.

a little bit easier to focus on her treatment and getting better over the next few months. He also turned up late - when questioned said he was late back from break. Not the first time. Why is our time less important? Left feeling completely disheartened and cross for those …

As an inconvenience and like they are on the scrounge for “free money” (their words not mine). Have made her jump through hoops for £400 a month she is perfectly entitled to. Had to sign a “commitment agreement”. Asked them what they are going to commit to to make things just…

@alexandriem7 @fesshole They also put out notices for staff to return all the missing cutlery to the canteen. True story.

@itssalvadiaz Had a hygienist appt. Arrived ten mins early. Checked in, sat in waiting room. Finally asked what was happening 30 mins post appt time. Hygienist had gone home. Forgotten I was there. I had arranged childcare, rearranged my working day and paid for parking, not to mention time.

@owenk98 @LidlGB Bought a gadget from Temu for about a quid that mashes it up with ease. Game changer!

@alexanderrX_ NHS staff are offered very favourable rates to lease cars as salary sacrifice. Probably the largest provider of new cars on the road, especially EVs. Nowhere near £500 a month for lower end budget cars and includes all insurance, servicing, breakdown, tyre cover etc.

@ZainabSana2622 Radiographer: I need you to fill out a form <proceeds to fill out form herself>. When was you last period?
53 yo me: 13 years ago
R: <writes menopause>
Me: that’s not what I said 🤦‍♀️

@SeanBrackstone Are you also complaining that you are not disabled?

[Rachel Kabambe @RachelKabambe]

@AuntHat_47 @ronsterd89 It’s the parents’ (plural) job. There is a second parent who is quite capable of cooking and teaching cooking skills.
