  • They haven't been since way before Xmas Beanie :(

    I'm sure one of the ones in bigger town will be but the local one isn't.

    I used to freecycle some but I don't really like 'strangers' coming to the house :o

  • Still awake. Waiting for when I can top up on pain relief.

    Maybe I pushed it a bit too far today :o makes me so angry at myself I can't just do what I want! .

    Fed up and feeling sorry for myself :o

    Hopefully you have bought yourself some easier days to come with that huge lot of cooking.

    I hope you can get the pain relief soon and catch up on some hard-earned sleep.

  • I didn't really sleep alot on my mind :o

    Rent arrears = court costs are higher than I thought and I have no idea why so I've asked them to send a break down of what's what. I knew I had court costs to add on but I didn't expect them to be so much! They said there's more than one set of court costs and the time we actually went to court obviously has more fees.

    Treatment day. Already feel dreadful. Joyful.

    :o Real moany post sorry!
