    Try not to use your CC.
    If you need gardening tips just post up what the problem is and one of us will have a solution. The fresh air will do you a load of good.

    After a loooong lie in i am going to do a big tidy up. The weather is lovely and bright outside. Steve is starting to get more confused but still understands most of what i say. I might pay part of next months credit card early I paid off 72/120 as it is building up and i dont want to stress next month. I think this leaves me with £100 for food and essentials and £100 for visits to the boys.

    An Easter of gardening and home prep sounds good to me :)

    Being with Steve and talking to him is good.

    Chip away at your CC and try to get some sun, you spend too much time inside.

    Glad you made the most of the sunny weather SW. No sun here today but let’s hope it warms up again later this week
