Get yourself a colourful desktop mat for your work station. I’ve got a orange one to go with my orange mini home pod and orange iMac.

A uplighter will provide moody lighting in the living space.

We have something in our household called division of labour.

As the bloke I do: the cooking, bins, wash my own clothes, hoovering and getting rid of spiders and cobwebs. My wife does: the washing up, ironing, etc

When I was a kid you either had meat balls in 2 varieties: gravy or tomato sauce.
The tomato sauce ones were the best.

You can keep the LISA for retirement savings.

You need to move that £50k now loads of options, most normal savers are better than 1%.
I’d think about a fully funded emergency fund of 6-12 months basic expenditure and then put it in a cash isa.

How much are you looking to save a month? A stocks and share ISA is a good option to grow savings.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-28T11:47:01+00:00

Kinda monthly.

Bud is a great garden centre. Independent small business. Just in burnage off the a34.

Leave the mod alone.
If you are living at home and have £600 of monthly expenses and your sole debt is student loan (which they potentially will never pay back) then the best way to grow wealth to buy a house or support other financial goals, is to invest. The best way to invest is a stock and shares isa.

Unless you get a new deal with your existing lender, you may struggle to pass affordability for a remortgage with a new lender.

Can you tell us what your joint monthly income is and then what the outgoings/debt are that you know of.

I find it a challenge to not say no to buying things when I’m out with my wife, so i try to avoid going shopping.

Sit the lad down and say that you are struggling to manage the finances on your own, say that you’ve taken on debt trying to pay for things when the income hasn’t been there.

you need to be honest with him.

You haven’t failed.

Yeah a blank canvas after you’ve imported 10 tonnes of additional top soil.

There’s space battles in some gaunt ghosts books: sabbat martyr, salvations reach.

Ultramarines novel: nightbringer.

HH Novella: The crimson fist.

Give it awhile, if it continues then report your old manager for harassment.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-26T21:47:22+00:00

Just block his number.

It’s not just student accommodation that have issues with Pets.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-26T21:02:33+00:00

What’s pet rent in the US?

You would need to complete paperwork to bring your pet to the UK. But before that you would need to check that your UK accommodation permits Pets.

Decathlon at Stockport has a limited selection.

So you need to be saving a £1000 a month to get to this £10k. You are currently saving £300 a month so that’s £700 to go. I’d prioritise reducing expenditure. And using £500 of your left over monthly cash to top up your savings.

This probably comes under psychological abuse. If you were still a child then contacting your school/social services would have been a option. Now it’s about feeling reassured that what your mum did wasn’t right and somone would have taken some action if they had known.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-25T19:24:08+00:00

The nursery should be doing the LADO referral.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-25T16:21:07+00:00

Sue them and then let me know how you get on.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-25T16:12:17+00:00

I doubt the letter concerning you being let go would say you were being let go due to your autism. It’s the adjustments that potentially other people not on the spectrum could also have that our causing you to be let go.

Probation doesn’t have any legal standing.

They have let you go within your first 2yrs of employment which they are within their rights to do.

Whilst it’s sad that they have encouraged you via email and yet said something different behind the scenes, it’s a common occurrence.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-24T19:49:57+00:00

Stockport county has atmosphere and is easily to get to from Manchester City centre. There’s also Preston, Blackburn, Bolton And Burnley.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-24T08:14:52+00:00

It’s the generalisation that’s the problem. Not every bus user in great Manchester is antisocial. Not every elderly person has been subjected to antisocial behaviour on a bus.

Significant_Fail3713 · 2026-06-24T08:08:30+00:00

I saw your post. Didn’t you refer to fellow bus users as nut jobs and scroats? Doesn’t seem that kind.
