    I do sympathise, Lucielle, asking for money is the hardest thing even when you know it's completely justified. But if you find a way to do it, it will be well worth it. Good luck!

    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    Ok as long as its not raining, icy, snowy, windy, hailing I'll go. Got all the veggies prepped last night for todays lunch, so I'll get my butt out of bed and ignore the mess in the kitchen and take the mutt for a walk.

    OH has got lots to do in his shed, so I'll probably go on my own. Children seem to be in a vile temper.

    I have such a hard time with roasting veg - always seem to acquire a burnt look for mine - don't quite know what I am doing wrong!

    My veggies taste ok, I've been picking at them. Pruned the raspberries and realised that I need to buy some more canes. Helped OH in the shed servicing strimmers, blowers and a couple of generators. Such an exciting life I lead. Things appear to be picking up business wise (hope I haven't just put a hex on it) and having repeat customers is always a good feeling.
