I hate Thanksgiving. Being urged to eat all the food by mom who then asks why you've gained weight. 2 years ago I landed in London on Thanksgiving and ran around sightseeing. I got a turkey cranberry sandwich to go from Sainsburys and this is one of my best and clearest t day memories. I'm usually just waiting for it to be over

Sainsbury? It’s Thanksgiving for Christ sake! At least spurge on a turkey sandwich from Waitrose.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, let her comments roll off your shoulders or make a smart comment back. You can also tell her you don’t appreciate her saying that. At least we got a couple days off! Running around London right now sounds fabulous though.

As someone who is currently in London, I can confirm that we are not actually getting to do any running around due to lockdown. We are cooking a big thanksgiving feast at home and no weight-related comments are allowed (nor would the ever be!).

Agree with FCB1... tell her you don’t like the comments and I bet she’ll stop. She probably isn’t aware it’s hurting your feelings. Also, in case you need to hear it, you are perfect just the way you are.

Question for my fellow fish, thinking about buying a new home and putting 10% down instead of 20%. Only because I want to have some extra money laying around for new home items I’ll need. Then after 3-4 months of PMI my plan is to call and drop the other 10% in a big payment to remove PMI. Is this something I can do? I also think if I do 10% down instead of 20% I can get a lower rate as a first time home buyer.
