Sorry you’re so sore after the fall. Be kind to yourself.
Otherwise things seem good. A cleaning lady, strawberry tarts and day out with a friend sound pretty good 👍January spends - £587.584 -

New cleaning lady is once a fortnight & does purely cleaning. Other lady is once a week & can do most things which is good. That said I have a review this week & am hoping to get an increase in hours. We will see. It does amaze me what some people manage to get.debtfreewannabe321 said:oh no I am sorry about your falls Beanie I hope the new cleaning lady is helping you a lot, is she there to help de-clutter and organise too? xI am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.
