Hi, I'm Ali. I'm a 58yo single mum to 3 boys/men 37, 35 and 26.
When life doesn't turn out the way you planned, you've got 2 choices. Stay down or get back up on your feet. Rather than focus on what I’ve lost, I now focus on what I’ve gained. Independence! I have 3 lovely grown up boys and 2 beautiful daughters in law.
I'm a huge dog lover and have owned several Labradors (plus one Golden Retriever) most of my adult life. In Aug 23 I got a new Lab puppy called Luna who became seriously ill and wiped out a huge chunk of my savings in vet fees 🐕
I retired early from a job I loved/hated (depends when you ask me!) teaching 4 and 5 year
olds. I have my own wee house mortgage
free and no debt.
However, I don’t have much of a pension due to years of part time teaching so I am careful with my money. I saved hard for my early retirement from education. I used those savings and the proceeds from the sale of my house in May 24 to downsize to a 2 bedroom semi and buy a flat to rent to a family member.
I love cooking from scratch and have embraced the challenge of eating foods that have not been ultra processed. I can knit, sew and turn my hand to most DIY tasks. Just as well as this house needs a lot of work!
Thanks for visiting 😊
