They were high-end, made using a luxury grade of cardboard.

His girlfriend came from a marketing background within the gift industry.

She’d seen a potential sales gap that remained vacant, at upmarket department stores.

We’re not all ambitious

Leave the city for a rural, simpler and less stressful lifestyle.

That sounds great for a media lawyer and her chef husband.

So he’s going to set up part of their new house, as a venue for a…

Selling up and selling out

My friends are going to sell their half.

Their partners have offered to buy them out.

Enjoy the luxuries

My cousin has quit work. He’s mortgage free and secure for the rest of his life.

He’s only four years older than me.
