    Thats a good idea Claire I will suggest that to him. Mind you he is allergic to cheese so prob cant have a lot of ready meals..

    Perhaps you could teach him the basics he would need to be able to cater for himself.

    Posted through my letterbox today is a clothing collection bag from the Salvation Army. Will now think about putting some winter unwanted clothes in to make way for getting the spring/summer clothes out of an airless storage bag.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.

    A bag of potatoes 15p. Some holly blowing along the diveway, verigated,so I picked it up and have put it into some water. it might produce roots,give it a chance anyway. Free parking at the supermarket and some reduced Bakewell tarts. Also not having to light the fires til 5o'clock because its mild.
