    A NSD but total has not increased as I used DS3's bus ticket to hop into town yesterday evening after claiming a NSD.

    Need to count up the clutter clearing total - did lots of pottering earlier, many trips to bins and shed + washing out and garden watered. Must be working as the recycling and paper bins are both more than 3/4 full and the garden waste is going up too. Only the 'rubbish' bin is nearly empty but have started gathering a pile for that (including a newly emptied paint can - left in yard for VOCs to evaporate first).

    I'd like to add my thanks for everything you have done for us Kat. I may not be the best at debt busting - I mostly live frugally (apart from the chocolate) but my income is both pathetic and erratic and there is a lot of uncertainty in my immediate future but your challenges have helped me to stay focused, even when I feel as if I am wading through treacle and a tiny step forward is followed by a struggle to stay where I am instead of being swept backwards.

    I will follow your travels with interest (hopefully from the comfort of my old house - may move back sooner rather than later to cut expenses and leave selling this one to the estate agent, just the small matter of getting the remaining work finished off). Then when this sells, we begin the adventure of finding something that suits me and mum (duh-duh-da-duh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWGeRgFa-hI

    And finally I was torn between Leaving of Liverpool (Dubliners or pogues), All Around My Hat (Steeleye Span) or Farewell To you my friend (Linda Ronstadt) but finally settled for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZBrZwormAQ
    pretty pictures.
    My mission in life is not only to survive,but to thrive and to do so with some Passion, some Compassion, some Humour and some Style.
