    I'm glad your day in the Lakes made you feel better :).

    I hope your dad's treatment goes well.

    Just caught up with your diary. I'm really sorry to read the problems your family have been having - I think you are right though to leave the EF intact as you have a good timescale on the money transfer.

    Hope all goes well for your Dad and heres to a lovely family trip next weekend

    Glad to read though that your time at the Lakes helped with how you were feeling.

    Take it easy Sunshine.

    Today I am going to a garden centre with a green fingered family member . I am useless at gardening but enjoy looking at all the plants.

    Then I need to look at the budget again , and try some damage limitation . I can't wait for June payday , I have nothing planned for the rest of the year holiday wise . It will just be the odd visit to friends or days out. I can get back on track , at the moment any purchase is torture.

    It's raining here at the minute , hopefully it will dry up.

    Have a nice day out today Sunshine. Plants and flowers are peaceful and cheerful - always good to wander around them.

    Enjoyed a leisurely amble round the garden centre. Coffee in the shop after , paid for by someone else.

    Have had 2 eBay sales about £10 profit and had a good day on PA about £9.00 so far.

    Everything is ready for the week ahead, which is busy with work and social things.
