It's great class are providing adaptions for you. As time goes on it will be easier.

Visits are good, especially as the plans are what you want to do instead of compromising.

Hope the family member has a speedy recovery.

Hope family member isn't too poorly.
NT membership is of huge value if maximised.

What a lovely dress!  Sounds like you had a lovely evening
'Stupid tax' always makes me chuckle, I use it all the time now and even heard my husband mutter it the other day.  Hope you manage to get your money back.
With SW, have you checked out Pinch of Nom?  Their recipes are delicious and WW/SW friendly... they have books out, but there's also a website (apologies if I've mentioned before, can't remember)

Thanks - I have heard of them - I do need to check them out.

Stupid tax is a way of letting go - I need to forgive my mistakes. I haven't followed up - I didn't have the energy... Will see whether that changes...

Thanks @powerspowers, MF and @m@mark55man

Relative seems okay so far. 

I've had a nice few days - I went to the gardens - I'll post some photos after. I then decided to go swimming in the sea so bought a bikini and towel. I nearly got hypothermia in the water but glad I did it. So beautiful floating in the water even if it was only 12 degrees. I did however get bitten on my arms so am now super-itchy.

Had a relaxing day yesterday making art. Doing similar today.

I stopped at a nice pub on the way home

Thanks DIA - It's a balance between using the membership and fuel usage. Used more fuel than planned because I added the beach to my trip but was desperate to not just see the sea but also go in it so don't regret it.

Very pretty! 😁

Lovely photos.  Cost of NT membership and fuel to visit is an investment in yourself.  Perhaps you could keep a separate "you" budget pot so that you can chose how you spend the money and spend it guilt free.
Well done on the healthy eating

How gorgeous is that garden! Do enjoy seeing poppies, seem fragile yet are so strong.

If you can budget for wellbeing, include extra for petrol and trips as they repay you with mental freedom.

Beautiful pics as ever.

I'm a big fan of NT properties, I have to drag the rest of my family though.  I always go often enough to make the annual membership worth it mind.  I'm really slack with weighing up fuel costs on journeys, should start monitoring maybe.
