    Mum and dad went there earlier this week and apparently the shop closed on Sunday.
    They spoke to the butcher chap and he said it was to do with re-structuring.

    I suppose they may well supply local shops and as they have staff in the cafe anyway, it does save on a wage in the butchers shop.

    They are still going to be making the pies, as well as sausage, burgers and bacon.

    We've just had some of the chilli sausages that I had stashed in the freezer....they were hot :eek:

    I buy all their other meat as well...so will have to find somewhere else now...perhaps its because I'm not their spending loads of money..lol

    Hi Taxi...have you thought about getting a meditation cd. One that you visualise you're walking in the woods or on a beach etc. to.
    I own a couple and they are great for helping to shut everything off and just really relax to. Have a look on Amazon, you'll get to read the reviews as well so you can choose one that suits.
    I can personally recommend this one...The celestine meditations cd by Salle Merrill Redfield and it also has some great reviews on Amazon and it is a walk in a forest and on a beach :)

    May try that thanks

    Thanks all...

    Am ashamed to say that I haven't been up to anything today really.
    All I've done is some washing and a had a walk to the shop and lolled about all day..lol
    I haven't eaten very healthily this week as we've had a couple of takeaways and we are trying to use stuff up out of the freezers/cupboards..
    Feeling a bit flat the last few days..so need to make an effort to get out and do stuff....jsut a bad few days

    Your wonderwoman, and even wonderwoman needs to recharge her batteries, your allowed off days, you've done heck of a lot in a short time, as I said before and I mean it, ur an inspiration to a lot of people, the support you give is out of this world, and a lot of us wouldn't be here without your support, credit cards would be flying through machines, royal mail and every delievery firm would be on 24/7, but you've supported so many people, if theres anything u ever need just shout.

    Love the raid the freezer, and cupboards, fun bit like colouring by numbers xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    You've been on a roller coaster of a journey, running in adrendin (excuse spelling), and you've been busy trying to cover all expenses, and with the treatment your allowed bad days as well, you've taken the cancer so well, and on the chin, maybe your bodies way of saying I've run out of steam all this debt free and paying, put it into shock!!

    Take each day as it comes, and I'm sure no-one will mind me saying, we're all behind you and here for you day or night. xx

    Hi Taxi, take it easy and look after yourself. Quiet days can be great to recharge batteries!

    Thought I had posted this the other night but I cant find it now - congratulations on becoming debt free. It is very much deserved xxxxxxx

    You are bound to have days where things feel flat and low. On the see-saw of life you have taken in some pretty devasting news all round recently. On the other end of the see-saw - you have become debt free which has been your aim for a long long time. Now the see-saw has stopped swinging so high between highs and lows, giving you more time to think and let current events sink in. But you will get used to the more gentle pace of this stage in your life and cope with it all as the alternative doesn't even bear thinking about. You will do it and we all help if we can.

    Corr - that sounds a bit deep for this time on a Saturday night LOL

    Enjoy your weekend away.
