Forgot to add, I sent off some ink cartridges for recycling which will hopefully give me £18, but payment will take up to a month to clear if they are checked and accepted.
It's a nice little pile out of the house too.

I saw you mentioning it in passing - thought it was a vague wish. Sounds like where I live as wellhello I did wonder why you were on so early :rotfl:
I been mentioning since May here and there lol we have to move. Landlord is selling the house, and will offer to let us buy but I refuse as there is far too much wrong with that needs fixing and I personally would like to move away from this area. Every week we are in local news for fights, stabbings and more in the area where I live. I literally walk down the road and there are gang fights etc.
so i really hope you find somewhere lovely to live soon as poss.
