    Thank you for your suggestions. I have to confess that I am DFW no 429 and have more debt than when I started but now have a part barn conversion (which DH has done whilst not working) which we wouldn't have without MSE. I will go back on the DFW boards to see what else we can do.

    I am on benefits and am not able to do mystery shopping and surveys as I am not well enough to do them. I am struggling to list my books on Amazon. And haven't listed on ebay for months. I really need DSs to get more serious about helping me list things.

    Have you checked www.entitledto.co.uk ? Or how about renting out spare rooms? Do your children know how serious things are? Maybe you need to tell them. Not necessarily exactly how much, but how much it is getting to you and how they can help out (((hugs))) xx

    Mrs Kazm - you all look stunning in those pictures - congraluations on your wedding. Did it all go smoothly in the end?

    Thank you, and put it like this if if had gone like that at one of the weddings where I work the boss would be asking why, but for Gibraltar it was good :rotfl:. Nothing major went wrong just a bit disappointed that you couldnt hear the music that we had so carefully chosen, and things didnt flow as they should have but that just how things go.
    Kaz...you are gorgeous! What lovely pics xx

    Thank you - cant wait for the proper ones, only have a few at the mo as one of my bro's deleted 200+ pics by reformatting his card!

    Had the hibrow council bods round this afternoon. But the news was not as good as I hoped it would be but hey, I can cope. Have started to disseminate information but the reaction is not good. am awaiting flak....

    Mmmm... it is very tempting.....

    Not good news from the council, I am sorry to hear that. I hope things are sorted for you soon.

    Cat1 brought me a dead mouse at 5.30am this moring into the bedroom, the change in him over the last year has been just amazing, when I got him he was scared of his own shadow, and wouldn't go outside on his own.
