I went to get some compost out of the shed today to plant some seeds....... only to find the mice had got the lid off the peanut bucket and used the compost as a nice comfy place to rest while they dehusked and ate them :eek:.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Hi, strange day and I'm back taking it easy.
Let's be positive - £350 moved to MOS today. That leaves minimum in the current account for next two weeks. 94p Tilly Tidy.
Dinner is gammon, pur!e of celeriac, potato and swede (mash) and parsley sauce, maybe with a bit of broccoli thrown in for colour.
Every penny is counting at the moment and has to earn its keep. Kids are being fab and Mr T is on a bit of a roll. Let's see where this journey takes us.

You seem to me to be doing very well. :TDo you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0
