Hi Mrs B, I am sorry to hear that you are feeling low. maybe you are doing too much? I hope you are feeling brighter soon.
I have an allotment too and DD tells me she saw a lot of weeds in it. I really need to get there soon but it is 2oC today and a cold wind too. It is not feeling like the end of May.

Hi Mrs PG and all..
- small victories. £202 in from the panels so have put against the horrible BC...should make an impact when I redo the sig
- reduction in a credit card we sometimes use for big ticket items and which OH uses when away from horrendous 21% to 15%
- relisted eBay, just the one item...on slightly reduced starting price but postage is horrendous. Not sure it will go...has anyone had luck with that FaceBay thang??? I am not a FB user so not sure how it works
- credit limit just increased on my work CC..blimey what have I done to deserve that..makes no odds though as always clear it down eventually with my expenses...but just shows you what a weird world Debtdom is..
- now about to meal plan and get dressed as my OH comes home in a few hours!!! Girls have finally got out of bed too!! :-)MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal
