@VictoriaPlumUK I think there is a problem with returns notifications& tracking - I'm not getting any SMS the day before, nor any call from the collection courier. This is the third time I scheduled a return and it didn't happen, not sure what I can do about it. Could you help?

@dvassallo It seems like she made what she considered to be the right choice for her at that time. This is all that each of us can do. Any choice has the potential for regret.
This generic advice is patronising and trivializing the complexity of a life-changing decision.

A master carpenter in Iceland once told me that the difference between a master and journeyman is that the journeyman will use the “right tool for the job” while the master will sometimes use a hammer to drive in screws.

I think about that sometimes.
