Thank you for a great early laugh this weekend. The style made me snort into my morning tea, and the content was a good reminder of the constancy of some issues.
Enjoy your break! But don’t forget to come back 😉
Haha, thanks both!
Good to read some of the older posts – the one on Thatcher was very interesting, even more so after 5 years.
Very good in automating your blog. I am planning to do that when I’m on paternity leave for a month – 10 blogs on personal family finances to come out every few days. But of course, you’ve got such a strong back catalogue, you can put out links for months on what you’ve already done!
I’ve been reading this blog for a few weeks now and I really enjoy it. There are some great articles here. Thanks for highlighting those previous posts, will definitely have a look. Enjoy the break!
