    Morning Beanie :) Hope you manage to get out to look at the chair soon. At least you'll know if it's the right one or not. Is is something you could buy there and then or would they need to order it in, in which case that might give you a few extra weeks to save up for it.

    I know what you mean about the CC but if it's 0% interest and the chair is going to make a big difference to you, I'd really think about getting it. xx

    No idea if the chair would be availible to buy right away.
    The CC I am paying down is on 0% but not the one I would use to buy IYSWIM? xx

    With you on the chair and the CC. Good to read that you felt well enough to get out of the house and help at the FB. I'm sure you'll be back up to your full shift soon. But in the meantime best not to push yourself. No point wearing yourself out while you're still trying to get over your cough. xx
