Debt free in ten years-my new, more realistic challenge.

DS put £1000 in our account today. I could cry. She said DB1 said hewould match whatever she gave us so she tried to trump him

It is to be paid bac when we receive our money.


I phoned the solicitor and she has agreed to let us have an advance on the inheritance. This was before I found DS had given us so much. So things are improving. It was no good crying because I couldn't get to the hospital to see DA.

DB upset me too asking what my motives are. I have no motive. I love DA. Don't want her to suffer or to die unnecessarily.

I have nothing to gain by visiting her except to ensure that she is being well looked after. Sigh!

Tonight I have heard that DA has choked and been resussitated. She may now have cracked ribs, is on oxygen, iv fuids etc. DD and I had already planned to go to see her tomorrow.

Today knit and natter was a grat success. 13 people knitting and nattering really loudly lots heard footsteps at their doors late last night.

Have just heard from hospital that DA is on oxygen now too.

Lots of prayers needed methinks. Night night and thank you for lovely comments. When I stop chasing my tail I will get back to other people's diaries. I feel I am neglecting a lot of you.

I spent 20p today. £1.20 on a bottle of milk of which I paid myself £1 back from the group funds.

13 from a village of 50ish isn't bad for thhe first session.

So sorry to hear about your aunt it must be very stressful and upsetting looking after an elderly relative , my thoughts are with you.

Sounds as though the knitting group went really well, nice for people to get together and have some company and enjoy themselves, which can be difficult when you live in rural areas.

Take care PWPS.x.

please-let-me-be-lucky

Ditto what pwps said.

Sorry your brother upset you. I can't believe after the countless nice things you do for everyone, you've been called into question over this!

Glad to hear knitting event was a sucess, I wish I was nearby I'd join you, though not sure how I'd find the time

Sorry about DBs attitude, some people don't understand caring at all Also sorry to hear DA is not too good again, glad you got some financial support, even if not mental to go with it

So sorry re your DA...thoughts are with your family this eve

Thank goodness for the inheritance and advance. Sounds like it may all come right, you certainly deserve it

My thoughts are with you and DA and I hope she will be ok xxx

Sounds like things are beginning to turn in your favour with all the money starting to come your way, you deserve it so I hope it continues (although not all through inheritances...!)

Wish I was closer too i'd love to come to your group

I can't quite believe we have money in the bank. It doesn't feel real. We have lived on so little for so long it seems like a dream.

We scrimped to have money available to do the barn conversion. We have two houses but ours is in desperate need of repair now. Hopefully we can have central heating before the Winter takes hold


Yesterday was a big spend day. We weren't reckless though. I stocked up the freezer with meat. Like I used to when I was working and had all the family home. It means that if the snow comes we will be better fed than in the last few years. Mr P spent £95!! On meat

I went to Aldi with DD and we spent £60 between us on foods for the weekend away.

DS2 cooked a lovely green Thai curry for us last night.
DS1 cooked a veggie chillie for tonight at the holiday cottage
DD cooked a meat chilli
I cooked a bean stew for those veggies who can't eat spicey food and tomatoes

All bases covered for tonight I hope.:D



DA now has pneumonia but I have had instructions to go away and rest. All of Mr P's family who live in UK will be there this weekend. It will be great for them all. Can't quite believe that I did it and all agreed

DS is going to come up and visit DA while I am away. She hasn't seen her for a couple of years. DA was fast asleep yesterday when I saw her. I stroked her hair and told her what we are doing this weekend.

I had so much to do yesterday I forgot to phone the solicitor. Must do it today!

his morning is going to be busy going ready to leave and cottage ready for next guests.

DSs promised to be out of bed early today but no sign of any of them. Time to get them up.
