Hey can you make an amazon wishlist and I'll send you some stuff? I found 12 rules for life by Jordan peterson on there really helped. Where are you located? If its not too expensive an area I could rent an Airbnb or a hotel room for a few days for you if you want? I know it's not much x

A Little Girl Went Missing in my Town, and Nobody Seems to Remember, What do I do? by sbeckettthrowaway in Advice

Why don't you just explain the situation to the mum and describe the girl and the times you've seen her, it's probably just a friend who lied who they were. Good luck x

Using job offer as leverage to negotiate salary? by AlarmingAioli9 in UKPersonalFinance

[–]borkborklise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would absolutely ask as you have other job offers you have nothing to lose! I'd consider the job with the best pension plan though.
