I agree with MF. You have to be tough SW, I know its hard as you are so lovely! Tell her straight out "sorry you will have to go now" or just tell her "sorry I'm busy today and dont let her in. Or just tell her please dont come again! Some people don't get the hint and have to be told outright0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Another day over. I have some prep to do today and early tomorrow too! Then a full day tomorrow. I picked up the harddrive. Will use it on the weekend. After work I used my bus pass & did an Aldeee shop and did a small but significant shop of £7. It would have cost over a tenner elsewhere.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221

Sounds like you're falling into a routine in your role and found a bargain.

Well all this extra work means i wont have time to spend any money! I am hoping to buy some food on Friday night. Not a lot though. We have had a minimal amount of rain.
On the gardening front, all the cucumbers that i grew taste really bitter. I am not v happy as i looked after them for ages and grew about 12 from 2 plants.Aiming for a minimal spend 20221 -
