I bought my first house at 22 (>20yrs ago) and since then have bought/sold a few times. Didn’t know this, and always assumed you couldn’t/shouldn’t really sell in the first few years simply because of fixed term mortgage rates.
My point being that if you sell within your fixed term 2/3/5 years in my experience then the bank will give you financial penalties.

Incredible craftsmanship Sidey B, have you considered mass production and selling them framed? I choose to believe you had already made that at some previous point in time and now you're thrilled you finally have an opportunity to whip it out for the cabal like a tit in diva.pdf.

Yawn 🥱. You can find them in the muddy puddle also known as TK Maxx. Often red labelled too for clearance.

Oh and my draining board is to the left, my mums is to the right. Can’t remember about other places I’ve lived. I do hope someone is keeping a tally given our love of counting.

ETA: I’ve now got ‘Stuck in the middle’ as my ear worm:

Draining boards to the left of me!
Dishwashers to the right!
Here I am stuck in the middle with sinks.

That’s a very good drawing, I hope you asked his permission.

Where’s your other hand?

WHERE IS IT?
My other hand is FURLOUGHED! Plus, two hands AND Pythagoras would just be like asking to be triangulated!

Dammit you’re right! I’m still waiting for a chance for the conversation to take exactly the right turn to whip out my miniature cardboard Eamon Holmes

Oooh, forgot to add draining board info! It's on the right. My mother redid the kitchen a few years ago (it's awful) and there's space for a dishwasher, but she has a deep hatred of them so the bins live there instead.

Sidey B, that is a cracking Pythy G

Re subsidised food, I had a friend who worked in finance, specifically the stock market. They had subbed food but also champagne which was cracked open on the office floor during working hours if they had a particularly profitable day. My friend found it weird at first, but it's the culture in the city. However a lot of people feel pressured to drink too, especially the new starts. So it's a toxic culture and still the with sexism too.

Also re houses, one in my area sold a few years back but went back on the market 3 months later and was sold at a loss. We've never found out why but there has been speculation about haunting, witness protection and anti social behaviour.

I’m having an existential crisis, apologies Sidey B, I love your cardboard Pythagoras however
that triangle doesn’t have a right angle
I’m so sorry! To you and poor Pythagoras! The angles clearly weren’t on my side.

Well I don't know why I came here tonight,
Had a feeling that she wasn't right.
I weigh more than kilograms ninety three
I'm so scared that she'll triangulate me
Dishwasher to the left,
Draining to the right
Here I am washing in the middle with you

Weird ear worm to go to sleep with.

Annoyingly I'm wide awake and thought it prudent to mention, I am also left handed. I shared upthread deets ref my kitchen sink / drainer set up. I can't work out if life would be easier if my drainer was on the side of my most dominant Russell brand ?

My draining board is to the right my dishwasher which I don't use (I am with your mum @Cookiecookie I think it makes the dishes smell of wet dog) is on the right of the draining board. My sister had a lefty draining board but it felt all wrong. I like the sound of a double draining board - fancy!! Anyway time for bed now I'm BUSY tomorrow with work (you should try it Jack) and my head is hurting thinking about all the places I have lived and the set up of the draining boards
