In the Meantime

Well done eating the application frog.
Very smart spacing the travel out, should make it easier and hopefully you've a packed lunch or food ready at home for ease.

Today will probably be one of the last emotional  days of your progress towards your new and improved lifestyle . Progress is what you are making in abundance , and should not be forgotten as you strive onwards and upwards...

Thanks everyone for your support and kind comments 

@another_casualty you were right. The last day was indeed emotional. I have to believe going is a step forward to my new life. 

I did it. I left...On to a lovely friend who picked me up in the end. Unfortunately, on Monday a migraine wiped me out. I was feeling stressed and tired and I had been eating poorly. Add in a few drinks with my friend, and I suppose it was inevitable. Yesterday I arrived here. It is very restful and I slept well. The friend who owns the house was here to meet me and we spent the day together. A few walks and a visit to a F&V market.

I made an adzuki, pumpkin bean stew with quinoa and brown rice mix. I made some beetroot and adzuki bean burgers for another day.

I spent £35 on food, but hopefully next week will be less as I will already have some key items. 
Part of being here will be rest and restoration so healthy food is a key part of that.

There is a library at the top of the road and they ok for me to use my friend's card to take things out.

Off to have a bath 

I hope everyone is ok.

I finally got back to my local library a week or so back - so very nice, I can't imagine what life would be like without them.

And you sound so wonderfully positive!  I really enjoy the updates as it shows me what is possible.

You sound just that bit more relaxed DIA . Hopefully everything is moving in the right direction that it should ..

Settle into your new chapter and savour the new experiences.

where would we be without libraries?  I spent half my childhood leisure time in them.  Anyone else for the Chalet School?

All of the things crossed for things falling right for you DIA

@redofromstart.  Loved Chalet School & Mallory Towers

@beanielou hurray, glad it wasn't just me.  Was driving my eldest around tonight and he was instructing me about countries like Austria during WW2, and I tuned out and thought about Bills hair turning white in the tunnel, and quite how Jo and the her husband got engaged.  I do still own a few as paper copies.  The only Blyton I still own is 'Family at Red Roofs' which is a proper tear jerker.  Loved Malory Towers though.
