Urg - It isn't a small holding , although that waas the original idea, just a cottage in a very rural area but with enough of a garden to allow me to grow stuff, keep chickens,do composting etc and still have a big garden areafor a lawn etc to keep OH happy .:D
You can get the general idea from my blog/diary

Am having an awful day - so far.
Nothing productive whatsoever - endless falling out with my son - and hating myself for the whole damn mess I've created.

(((hugs)) my mess, don't be so hard on yourself it isn't productive and will only mke you feel worse, try and do one positive thing no matter how small . at least you will feel like you are achieving something.Even if it is only saying to yourself " Today I haven't increased my debts" it's a start xxx

Not much on the DFW front today (although lots of relaxing)

• Scratchies (£0.20)
• Free bingo (didn't win anything, odd - there were only 500 of us in the room!)
• Pay loose change into bank account to stop myself going overdrawn - done
• Check online banking and savings
• Little bit of Amazon shopping with vouchers
• LSD (less than £5 for the whole weekend isn't bad)

Have fun everyone!
