  • Crisps passed your way Beanie!

    £80 made on eBay yesterday after fees etc :j. Halving it between bills and Christmas.

    Have booked a couple of nights away in December with my Carer’s grant. Something to look forward to! Went through Topc@shback and made £12.74 :money:. We discussed it as a family and it seemed everyone wanted to do Edinburgh again so that’s what we’ve gone for.

    My boys are on Half Term next week. Lots of kids off this week but we have a little while left to wait.

    But this time on the train as we still have tickets left from the Ultimate Family competition :j.

    Must admit I was tempted to try somewhere else, like Manchester or Liverpool, but Edinburgh is just so lovely at Christmas time that I didn’t mind when everyone else voted for there Xx

    I've just emailed our county council as according to their website they still do the assessments. I've probably been overlooked.
