Struggling along as best I can

Cherryfudge - I have been to have a look today as I was in the vicinity of a shop that sells them and I have seen a built in fridge/freezer that will replace mine and a small chest freezer that will be plenty big enough for me, so I just have to make sure all my measurements are correct and put my hand in my pocket!!! I think I will take it out of the EF and then repay it as I still have quite a chunk left from the new canopy that I could use if an emergency came up before I’d paid myself back, and the amount is low that I would have to ‘borrow’ out of it so hopefully it shouldn’t take long. Thank goodness I learnt my lesson and started all these pots off😀

Don't forget to check with DWP if you are due more pension credit now that you have spent some of your savings on the canopy. After all, they ask to be notified when savings have been increased, so this should work both ways! KA

This is a quick post and I will come back on tomorrow, I have been staying at youngest dds as her partner has been taken seriously ill and is in hospital ( and still is) and I've been helping her out as much as I can -, as well as trying to support her as much as possible but back here for the weekend.
