    Feeling pretty glum tonight too YorkshireLass. I just feeling like quitting- it wouldn't do my bank balance much good but o don't know how long I can keep going on feeling like this.
    Sorry you're down LP and YL I don't have anything useful to add, just that we all have times like this and come on here and share and you'll get through it with us 'cause we'll listen and a problem shared is a problem halved. And times will get better, because they do, we just can't always see it at the time.

    Savvy Shopper! I've been Money Tipped!
    Sorry to log in and read that things aren't great for people. La E how bad for your partner. I hope he gets his money soon.

    Princess nice to see you back.

    Yorkshire & Luckypenny good luck for your weeks ahead.

    Thanks for asking, the event didn't pick up for me. Banked 100 of a hoped for £200. But the people holding the event had a great experience and lots of sales. So they were very happy. I came away with 5 leads so that's good too.

    Knackered so off to crash.

  • Both Friday and Saturday were good and we got a fair amount achieved, even though I ended up doing more for an event on Saturday than I originally thought I was needing to. The end of Saturday was definitely not to plan as a result of dd catching a bug from her aunt which resulted in her throwing up 20 + times in 8 hours and neither of us getting much sleep :( She seems greatly improved this evening, just hoping she managed to get it all out of her system and the rest of us avoid it. Today has been more low key than we intended as we were tired, but still we plodded with a few tasks to keep things going in the right direction.

    We have finished November's GC and come in under budget and signed up for December's challenge where we have a much larger budget than normal as we are celebrating Christmas and have visitors for at least 7 days.

    Foxgloves I have recently started making golden lentil soup, I have been following your recipe from the GC recipe list, I like the adaption you have here for making it the slow cooker, need to find time to give this version a try, thank you :A
