🕵️‍♂️ Don’t get caught in a rental scam! Always visit the property in person, verify ownership, and use reputable platforms. High-pressure tactics and vague listings are red flags. Protect yourself! #ScamAware #RentalScams #NoMoneyUpfront #MeetTheLandlord

I'm heartbroken to share the news that we lost our beautiful Laura in the early hours of this morning. She was fierce & tenacious to the end & it was truly the honour of my life to be her mum. We are devastated at the thought of life without our girl, she was a force of nature💔
