    Pipsmum, So sorry to hear your sad news, please accept my condolences.

    Friday-Monday were spending days for me, doing groceries and buying cat food (though we are almost out again, these cats eat me out of my budget sooo quickly!). Trying to alternate between tinned and dry food.

    Yesterday's Pint of Science :beer: evening with an astronaut was really good, it was well worth the £15 I spent on it.

    Today saw me submitting my termination for my lease and I have a viewing arranged for next week. A one bedroom mid-terrace house in the village where I used to live for £425 :T It is in the same street I used to live but the interior is different as the upstairs is closed - *taking mental note to double check for the reason and if it is safe enough* - and I've seen my previous place is still up for rent so that's also an option.

    :think: ... to have my own bins... :dance: :happyhear the greatest luxury I can currently imagine! _party_

    Off to do some decluttering and cleaning but can't promise I won't be back! :p
