BTM, the flat fine for making noise after a certain hour (11.00pm?) is apparently £100. I don't know if that just applies to Stoke Bishop. The background noise during my conversation with DD was loud. Difficult in that DD had had a really full day, starting at 9.00am, with sports training after and some homework (whatever it is now called), and so she was tired and, as a dyslexic, needing to concentrate. She was not too bothered though, as she suspects it will all die down once money becomes tight and the weather colder. She has heard of one girl who has already blown through her loan and is onto an overdraft.
We use a family group chat on Messenger, mainly messages including sibling banter, admin etc, and then the occasional call. It started as a gap year thing, when DD only had limited access to wifi, but has continued. Being able to see when she logged onto Fb was really comforting, especially when she was travelling round California, taking night buses to save money on accommodation. Oddly I think DS is missing DD. He has moved home, but has not lived here without his sister before.
I took her stuff down, but DH has not seen her for four months, so, daddy's girl that she is, she plans either to come home or he will visit. Probably not for a few weeks. I think she wants to show him her new home at a point when she is properly settled.
