  • He certainly is and this time of year is a killer:eek: The weather has not been kind at all and it makes it so hard to make ends meet:(

    I hate this time of year and our weather is not kind at all. You don't mind the job they do if the weather would just play ball. Lucky he has started to do some work this week. Think he has got a full week, oh but look.....it's raining outside. :mad: Oh well, as least the people are starting to look for him now.

    Me too! we are certainly at the mercy of the weather:( It always seems that every time we show signs of getting ahead it rains and puts us back again.


    The worst is almost over now and I always breathe a sigh of relief when the Spring comes around.

    Good morning all :)

    Haven't been on in a while but still plodding along nicely!

    I'm up to date on my pot as of Monday 22nd Feb (I tick off a £1 a day on my calendar) so I make that £84 :j

    And the best thing is I haven't missed it at all, despite having to budget very carefully. Such a good way to save for Christmas extras!
