    all except the dosh but were working on the food budget which is probably biggest expense and also need to start taking lunch to work and using free car park as those are my current weaknesses. Not being too tough on myself previously as did have alot to cope with but now things more normal need to get back into overpayments...mum helps with bills etc but she is still running her flat with costs so not as much as she would like! Ill get there! Debating whether to buy a house when we move or maybe rent for a while but Im getting older so less time to play with plus gment trying to rob my pension at the moment...seriously makes me wonder why I bother working at times! I know its not just about the money though so one valuable life lesson learned!

    Dont spend it all at once!! But being serious its still cash and maybe used to buy more materials for your crafting or a nice meal out for you and your Mum.

    i'm fine thanks, busy at home and work so little energy either. Plodding along like you really, don't have the energy to go out of my way to 'create new income' so ticking along with my basic IYKWIM.
