I thought I had 'bagged' Judi Dench but someone seems to have edited the list and removed it.

It's OK Crafty, Boddy wanted to be Kathy Bates anyway...

ETA: Ohhh, Boddy beat me to it.

I haven't done anything all weekend.
I received court papers regarding my rent arrears on Saturday so haven't felt like doing anything
I'll have to make phone calls on Monday as I don't actually know what to do next
This will be my second trip to the court so to me it don't look good my only hope is clearing the arrears before the court date - maybe that would help.
Well I'm off to do something now . . .

Thanks Tooch it's a Cookworks one so I think that's Argos' own brand? Will contact head office tomorrow if I can find the number, been online and didn't see it.

Anyway, will catch up with the thread now.....see you in 10.

Hugs honey, I have been there myself so totally understand how you feel, but I would urge you to contact someone as soon as you can. Is there a contact on the court papers or any other paperwork you've received before this? Try to speak to those people, they don't want to loose the income and would rather sort something out than evict you - even if it goes to court it doesn't mean you will be evicted if you can set up the payment plan first.

Are you a council tenant or private? Either way, the council will help you if you have rent arrears, they are really good and talk to you with empathy, so if it is looking really bleak, try them - they helped me with my SOA and found us a temporary home too, and now we are all sorted, so there will be a light at the end of the tunnel hun, it's just you're in the dark at the moment, keep going and you will get there. PM me if it will help, I'm no expert but will do what I can. x :A

I'm on my own pretty much all the time... it doesn't stay tidy though

Have been extremely productive in the garden. I've planted up more seeds - potted up the seedlings that have already sprouted. Popped the last of the seed potatoes into bags.

Inspired by the greenfingered thread, I'm having a go at drying some rosemary. I have a large rosemary plant in the garden so have cut some sprigs from it and washed and shoved in a paper bag. I just need to find somewhere to hang it to dry! I've also taken two cuttings from the bush and am rooting them in water to see'f I can grow them to flog off! If the rosemary works well, I'll do the lavender next - that's a big, thriving bush.

Also should mention that when I depooped the garden, there's evidence that hedgehog is back which is nice (their poo is different!). Didn't see anything of him last year. But he'll keep the slugs down.

Hugs Wendywitch - hope things get sorted for you.
