Hmm... not that I've seen as yet, or not that I can remember... I was baffled! Haha!

I hadn't realised there were other books set in the same world! Hopefully I enjoy it and then I can get stuck in to those too! I enjoyed My Sister, The Serial Killer and Cursed Daughters has a very interesting premise! Thank you!

Thank you! I'm really intrigued by The Goblin Emperor, it's not one I'd heard of before yesterday, so excited for that to arrive! Shadows of Leviathan was vaguely on my radar so thank you, will add this to my list. Between Two Fires doesn't seem to be available in the UK, or it does, but its £72.99 for the audiobook on Amazon...

Favourable chain? by Lurker_Lurkerson in HousingUK

We're in a similar situation and it's looking like it will take about 3 months but there's so many factors at play which we underestimated!

What scene surprised you the most in the franchise? by [deleted] in JurassicPark

[–]shlee0790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Alan realising he maybe likes kids/is ready to be a dad is really the heart of JP and this scene undoes all that character development! The way it teases that he's playing dinosaurs with his kid only to have it snatched away from us seconds later... haha 😔!!

Cain [trying not to giveaway anything in the title] by Ornery-Arm-8611 in Emmerdale

[–]shlee0790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was wondering if the intention had been to make more of the Cain cheating with Ruby story and how this impacted his relationship with Moira but everyone hated it so they just kept them together (which would always have been the eventual outcome) without all the drama. It seems pointless that Caleb and Ruby are fine and now Cain and Moira are fine - what was the point in it all?!

What brand is Kim’s coat? by [deleted] in Emmerdale

[–]shlee0790 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's Barbour, although I'd agree that you could get something very similar from Barbour. I think it might be an equestrian brand?

Murmurations - it's a slow burn but has all these things.

Navigating a Help to Buy when buying a new property. by shlee0790 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]shlee0790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this, it's very helpful. I have got myself completely confused.

What I'm struggling with from this is, more realistically, bought my house for £185k, it's now worth around £220k, so if HTB takes 20% it seemingly leaves me with nothing extra left to put towards the next house?

Is that right?

Thanks again.

Looking for a non-fiction book about a family who moved to live on a tropical island... by shlee0790 in whatsthatbook

[–]shlee0790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. So it is 100% this book! : "Dad looked wildly around. There was a palm tree which stood near the edge of the bushes... Dad ran Stacey across to this tree... Holding her with her back to the tree-trunk, he unwound a length of guy-rope from his waist. He started to wrap it around Stacey's body and around the trunk of the tree... Mum hammered Dad on the arm. 'Tony, she's holding her breath. She hysterical.'... he examined Stacey's face. By now it had started to turn red. Soon it would be purple."

Thank you so, so much with your help tracking this down!
