3 month mortgage holidays for those impacted;  More work being done.

No mention of those renting - BUT in theory if you have a mortgage on a rental property you should be passing that on to your tenant.

do use paracetamol and avoid anti-inflammatories, ibuprofen...

Cheers for confirming ... I'd read that somewhere else. The chances however of getting hold of any paracetamol are now slim.

 

Besides, a bit old school in these things. If all I'm doing is relieving the symptoms, as opposed to curing, then i'd usually prefer not take anything really.

You need to marry the heir to a few billion.

Think a lot of people were doubting Sunak's appointment, myself included, but he has been excellent so far.

I'd barely heard of him before to be honest, but he is clearly a rising star, and showing absolutley no sign of struggling with the role.

Yea I just spent 15 minutes googling them all and they all check out. How sad am I.

330 billion but mostly in loans. Not sure this is really going to be anywhere near enough.

Nothing for self employed or those in the gig economy. All sounds good on the surface but this is just going to scratch the surface of the problem.

Totally agree. Fever is there for a reason. And coughing. Suck it up if you can.

Three month mortgage holiday for homeowners?

 

All homeowners?

[Strokes]

Hmm it’s seems because I occasionally have to run my money through an umbrella company I am entitled to SSP, with that and the option to mortgage break I should be able to see this through in its worse case scenario.

[Paninistickers]

I've been fairly bullish on the whole thing for a while. 

 

I dated an ICU nurse for a few months last year. Just now swapped a few texts to see how she's getting on (as you do)....oh dear. I wish I hadn't. That was bleak. She described - amongst other things - those who react badly to this as 'pure roll of the dice'.

Try the more unusual places for paracetamol such as petrol stations, small corner shops. You pay a bit more but they may have some. There was plenty in the shops yesterday just not in the main supermarkets.
