    What crappy news. I really don't know how small businesses manage to survive, I really think the government need to do more to support little businesses.

    After watching 'can't pay, well take it away' on TV, I've made a point of trying to support local businesses by shopping locally. Admittedly, I do most of my shopping in supermarkets, but I do try to spend in local businesses where I can.

    Thank you for that Chanie probably on a wing and a prayer a lot of the time. I appreciate your efforts to support as well. :)

    Morning

    Just a quick post before I head back to work. Was there tidying up till 1am last night. But at least I am on top of things for the big event today. Can literally walk in the door and ready to go.

    I did manage to get the children's accounts closed that we missed the bank for last weekend, yesterday, so that is a positive.

    I also forgot to note that the joining incentive of £100 had been paid by DD so currently have £240 including the council tax break money sitting there in the final repayment pot. I keep leaning towards just doing it. But if can't hurt to wait a bit.

    We did also manage to take our family photo for the month, but we didn't realise the photo booth would print our picture out in tiny multiple images rather than a few big ones. So we have about 12 tiny family photos for March :)

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Bob

    Ah Bob what a bummer about the rates rise. :( I hope the appeal is successful but it's the last you need really, isn't it?

    Sending you lots of positive vibes, if anyone can do it, you can. Have a dodgy hug too. :grouphug:
