Stuart Heritage, The Guardian, 15th March 2017Bad news: with Rob still unemployed and Sharon's public-sector salary falling shy of their financial obligations, a move to a cheaper property is on the cards.

They just need that mortgage application to come through without a hitch. You can probably guess which category of news that last bit will fall under.
