    After the upsetting news last week, DDIL has now been made redundant, or manipulated out more like. :mad:

    Afternoon all


    First things first....hugs to Lamewolf...we are all cheering you on. I always like to hear about your doggy visitors. Look after yourself and keep on keeping on. Sending money vibes your way xx.


    Elona hope tomorrow goes well.


    Sorry can't remember anyone else so hugs and spoons to all who need them.


    Well DH persuaded me to go out for lunch and we had a good time. I had spicy pan fried gnocci with butternut squash, red onion, spinach and creamed goats cheese on the top. Utterly delicious and I shall try and replicate it at home. Anyone know if you boil them first before pan frying them?


    No need to cook tonight-just a jacket potato and salad later


    Have a good evening all.

    Thanks folks. I guess it's all getting too much, what with the car crash and everything (this latest expense is ongoing from that btw) and I just feel I'm in well over my head, and I can't swim.:cool:

    I cancelled my optician appointment (was supposed to be going tomorrow) - on the basis that if I don't need new specs, it can wait; and if I do need new specs it'll have to wait cos I can't afford them right now.

    I am completely debt phobic; even owing someone a quid would give me sleepless nights; and of course, the household finances are my responsibility, so this is a kick in the gut I could've done without.:cool:

    Elona, thinking of you and the family and I hope that tomorrow goes as well as it can xxxx
    Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones that let in the light
