I tend to put it on mid afternoon, but don't really watch properly until about 8 pm when I go wandering into the realms of catch up and on demand.

‘ola, did a test last night and it’s negative , will do another one later today, I have a fire stick and I’m the budgedteer in this house:0))
I feel lucky that we both have a private pension in our retirement which is how we can afford to go on holiday a few times in a year as we’re mortgage free but hey! We worked for that , fear not Lcg , your hard work and overtime will pay off , your home will be yours when your little lad gets to be a big lad :0)

It's just a shame that many of the biggest struggles seem to be when we are young. Work is harder when we are building a career, or developing a business, we are busiest with families if we are lucky enough to have them, we have so much less time thank heaven's for online shopping. So everything has to be squeezed into the week end when all we really want to do is rest and recover.

And then you get to an age when you can ease off the throttle a bit....
And now children need a help On the property ladder, or through uni, or with childcare, so you think it will be great when you can retire, by then your parents may need care, but you are of an age where in years gone by you would be the one being helped... But what you do have is greater resilience, you can say no sometimes and hopefully at least finances are less of a struggle, that workplace pension you resented paying for gives you more options than your friends and just maybe your health has held out...
Summarised as life is rubbish enjoy the good bits,

Great post, rowan. Life never quite works out like you think, does it?

[rowanwitch]

No it doesnt, married the wrong man, didn't recover financially in time to get back into home ownership, never had children, no children in the family. Ended up in sheltered housing in my 50s. But there were amazing highlights, and some wonderful people On the journey Especially my little fat Welsh git!.
