    You sound like you've got a lot done today! I agree that the 2 charity's will make the paperwork a mountain rather than a small hill :p

    I hope it doesn't snow. Do you have it on the forecast?

    I have been to a friends & went to Sainsbugs.

    Got cat food, milk & custard.
    The Ambrosia custard was £1.15 a tin!!!!
    Luckily they also had the basics one which they dont often have.
    So three tins cheaper than one tin of the expensive one!!!

    MY neerest Aldi is about 10 miles away & I more often than not go there but not today.

    You have been busy today Beanie. :) Blimey are there really people out there who will pay £1.15 for a tin of custard. :eek:

    It's easy to say stop worrying about things but when you're the only one who's responsible for everything things are bound to play on your mind. My Mum's on her own, Dad passed away years ago, and she says it's the little things that get her down. Like when she wants a brew but doesn't feel like making one, she can't just say "put the kettle on". There's just no let up from thinking or doing things when it's just you. x

    Yes, I so agree.
    Just sometimes it would be nice for someone else to do something.
    Oh well. It is what it is.

    Physio tomorrow.
    Forgot to budget for it.
    Again it is what it is.

    I think that's the best thing of going for a paper cup coffee - someone else has made it!

    Hope tomorrow goes okay Beanie
