  • I was in Wilkinsons this morning looking at bedding as we need a spare set. There were single bed sets for £5, packs of 2 pillows for £2.50 a pair and different sized tab-top curtains for just £3 a pair. You might also find a cheap inflatable lilo more comfy to sleep on than the floor. I hope you are okay OP.

    Probably at the library, its free in there.
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.

    I wasn't making excuses for them, I was suggesting ways they could be on the internet! as it turns out, I was right. What are you getting in a tizz about?!

    Fairy, hows it going on the furniture front, did you have any luck with any of the charities I suggested?

    Hi mismontana yes i've already been in touch with one of them and been to visit them its a long bus ride away but well worth it. they even made me a cup of tea and we had a chat they are keeping eyes peeled but they did say they have lots of people looking at the moment. emmaus sounds really interesting and i spoke to one woman who gave me lots of information quite inspirational and i felt much better after the chat. I've got an ad in the local post office but no replies. I still get nervous and jittery when i talk about my situation and sometimes feel like i'm being judged if i go into charity shops but thats something i have to get over.
