    Your appearance on Martins show will have reached a wider audience. To clear your debt while coping with a poorly hubby & 2 children is so admirable.
    Wishing you all the best x
  • Oooh look at my shiny new ‘newshound’ badge!!! What an honour, thank you.

    Thank you so much for every single comment and message, they mean the world to me. I’m honestly blown away that anyone would think I’m ‘inspirational’, but if it helps even just one person think “I can do this” then I’ll be thrilled to bits.

    Martin, you are most welcome in my fan club, mutal hero worship :rotfl:.

    The lovely Laura from MSE called me today to thank us for sharing our story. How nice is that?! Honestly walking on air that everyone has been so receptive. Totally expecting Phil and Holly to call next and beg us to go on the sofa :p:rotfl:. This is the closest to famous I’ll ever get!!!
