    In other news it is back to reality with a bang.
    Council tax starts again this month so back to being super super skint.
    I really could do with increasing my income but have no idea how.
    I have nothing left to sell.

    I know you've mentioned before you do accounts for a charity, could you do bookkeeping at home and charge for it?

    I know you had the lodger from hell but would it be worth looking at again .....or more stressful than worrying about money.

    As we are a villiage the option doesent come up that much.
    You sum it up well though~~is it more stressful than worrying about the bleeping money.

    In other news my best boy is 18 next month.
    My human best boy is 25 this year.
    Where does the time go.

    Best boy & I broke a lamp at the weekend.
    It was a good one I got in JL's sale years ago so a bit sad about that.

    I think I am going to open an Easter Egg.

    It is my dairy & I will cry if I want too..................

    I'll watch it tomorrow on catch-up. Seen enough real life hospital today:o
    Easter egg sounds like a good idea - I've just joined you.
    I glad you had a lovely day and had flowers bought for you - you deserve flowers and lovely days.
