Hi, everyone. I’m sure everyone is sick of the ‘I don’t usually make posts like this’ posts, but I actually don’t tend to make posts like this. To cut a very long story short, and without going into too much personal detail, my mum is recovering from a health scare that took place over the weekend to do with her heart. Because of this, my parents (who are both retired and don’t work, so there’s not a lot of monthly income – my mum sometimes picks up examiner jobs but they’re not a lot, and my dad hasn’t worked due to poor health in a few years now) have had to cancel a few non-refundable trips that they had planned (an anniversary and a getaway that was booked months prior to this happening). I’m very grateful to be able to hold a stable job, but due to this happening, I’m not entirely planning on going back to work so I can get some money to hold me down with student loans, extra rent money, etc. until my mum is at least able to get back to the basics (such as drive, lift above her head, and things that I’d probably take for granted in the long run) and she’s not relying on my dad for things, where I can help out a little bit.
