Slightly embarrassed to admit that my PT has diagnosed me with ‘Tetris elbow’

Just a reminder that Money Box Live on Wednesday will be looking at cryptocurrencies. If you have a question you’d like to put to our experts then please reply here or DM me. From beginner questions to advanced, all are welcome. Thanks

Oh gosh I breezed past that last big number without even noticing

@gmcgiv.bsky.social you just popped up in the Peep Show I’m watching 😂

this exists it is called thinking

Watching Batman Begins with my children and DELIGHTING them by muttering about the billions of dollars in damage to infrastructure and civic buildings.

So Mumsnet lied to me. The orange flavoured fish oil doesn’t ’blend seamlessly into children’s drinks’ it sits on top in a (admittedly predictable) pool and makes them ask why their squash smells of fish.

Now the SCOUT group on the other hand…

Who ARE these people? My WhatsApp groups are teacher gift collections, PE kit reminders and ‘please tell the teacher I’m running late’. Normal, helpful stuff (Altho yes, almost entirely mums. But I think that reflects patriarchy rather than being a fault of the groups) www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Enjoyed the wide-ranging (if early!) conversation with @felicityhannah.bsky.social, Lucy Coutts, and Michelle Laithwaite on BBC #WakeUpToMoney. Is the £150bn to be invested in the UK by US tech firms a big deal? I think we all agreed it was material and positive. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

@pryor.co.uk hi Henry, i don’t use twitter now so replying here. I was certainly TRYING to say ‘are being bought with a mortgage’ as in currently have a mortgage but in the blur of a live show maybe it wasn’t sufficient clear. The trouble with busking it 🙂 Cheers for listening and getting in touch

Oh my god yes

Informative, important and moving Money Box Live this week. What does being given a terminal diagnosis mean for your finances? Very grateful to all the people who shared their stories

Hello, if we did crypto on next week’s Money Box Live I would want to focus it on listener questions. So if you have a question you’d like an answer to please reply to this or Dm me if you can. Thanks!

I know the wheel, penicillin and water purification are more important, but the human innovation I enjoy the most is being able to listen to music without dragging a minstrel or band with me

In Ridiculous Cliche News, my teen sprung it on me at 7:30 THIS MORNING that he needed food tech ingredients for a chocolate and orange sponge cake.

My husband’s away this weekend and I have Big Plans* *a copy of The Economist and a tinned cocktail. Never say I don’t know how to have a good time

The latest Money Box Live on the cost of being a student. Including one woman who has been paying back her loan for a decade but not actually reduced the debt

Just a bit tired of the timeline, lads

My teenager just went quiet in the car and then declared that he had “solved the Problem of Evil”.

Do you think uni is worth the investment of both the time and the money? Why? Let me know asap as I’ll share some of your thoughts in Money Box Live, on r4 just after 3

Hey Blueskies. I am looking for someone who has taken a mortgage holiday or extended their term since since June 2023. You don’t have to be full named, just a lovely chat about why and how it helped. [email protected]

Remember the kids show Bernard’s Watch? He could use it to stop time and then do shenanigans? How long do you think you’d have to stop the watch to really sort all your life out? All the cupboards, all the admin, catch up on all the sleep? I think I’d need min two weeks.

It was a tough day. I might just…

Last year thousands of people rushed ahead and withdrew their pension lump sum ahead of the Budget - just in case the rules changed. Was that you? Would you chat to Money Box about it? I’m on [email protected] and please do share this with anyone who might be right. Thanks Team Bluesky!

Off to do a school governor walk around and, as I prep, I am reminded that school senior leadership teams deal with absolutely every aspect of education, running a large business and social work. They work incredibly hard.

I have a wonderful sister who has some additional learning needs. Currently at the tattooist so she can get the forearm tattoo she has wanted for EVER and she is so excited she can barely sit still. It’s a genuinely beautiful thing

On Money Box Live on Wednesday I am looking at the cost of being a student. Get in touch with questions & stories, if you’re a student, a postgrad, or a parent or grandparent with any questions about support and spending. My email is [email protected]

So I chickened out of trying to refer to ‘rank and yank’ on Today…

In tomorrow’s #wakeuptomoney I will be asking if getting up at 4 or 5am is the secret to success, productivity and wealth? If you’re an early riser (or at least an early radio listener!) let me know what you think

Entirely possible that I will be moving house in the same week as the Budget and I would just like to know how I angered the gods so completely?

Coming up just after 3 on r4, our first Money Box Live of the new season. Looking at how rising rents are troubling tenants. Delighted to be joined by Vicky Spratt, Spare Room’s Matt Hutchinson and Matt Sheeran from @moneywellness.com

Me as a teenager: “When I’m an adult, I’m still going to be cool.” Me yesterday: *explained conveyancing to a car full of 14 year olds*

I am looking for a parent and fresher to chat to for Money Box Live next Wednesday. In my Ideal Radio Dream World, you’d be willing to audio record yourselves with a phone out shopping for uni stuff at eg supermarket or Ikea. [email protected] is my email - please share if you know someone

I’m increasingly convinced that working out what school shoes are acceptable at secondary school is in fact some sort of MI6 recruitment puzzle

First Money Box of the new season, get it in your ears. A multi-million pound win for former firefighters. Crooks trying to trick people using the more complex winter fuel payment rules. And what are the Budget rumours doing to the property market?

It’s me on Money Box today, just after 12. Hopefully I will have stopped inexplicably singing The Safety Dance by Men Without Hats by then

Just broadcast from home and I am just going to hope no one actually heard the dog who came over to pant gently right next to my mic 😬

So @onekdog.bsky.social is showing our children Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds. Truly it was a golden age of television.

If you’re wondering how the summer holidays are going: y’day my 14 year old & his friends said they wanted to bake a cake. So wholesome! I gave them full kitchen access. Turned out was for YouTube, one was blindfolded, one had tied hands, one had noise cancelling headphones, one had a gag 🤦‍♀️

Looking for someone who wants to buy a house but is now wondering if they should wait until after the Budget (or maybe rush through before it!)

Looking for someone who fell or nearly fell for a scam text promising help with winter fuel. Liiiike this one:

It’s me again on #wakeuptomoney tomo and we will be looking at why Vegas is seeing a slump in visitors. Is it Trump fall out or simply the cost of living hitting the party capital? So tell me if you’ve changed your view on tourism because of a country’s politics - and if you’ve ever been to Vegas

Currently trying to move house. Why is conveyancing always like everyone is doing it for the very first time?
