Thanks Joe, that's very kind.

Thank you. It should be, in the short term but when I get home there's going to be very awkward conversations to be had.

Thank you to those who interacted with the below last night. I can't go into detail as I don't have all the facts yet but it relates to elderly parents - one stubborn & one with dementia. We fly back to the UK today and will resolve over the coming days. I truly appreciate your support.

One text message that ruins your holiday. 24 hours later, I'd be fine. But now, brain fog. I'll catch up with you tomorrow.

Definitely agree with Natacha and Victoria on this one
Don't get me wrong, it was hard transitioning in 97 when I was 16.
