Hi Jade, saw you mentioned Abercarn, those photos are lovely! My boyfriend lives in Blackwood. I found your diary from your comments on another diary, well done on your debt busting so far! You’ve mentioned a garden centre in the other thread, my boyfriend spent a lot of time in Blackwood garden centre last year kitting out his new build garden. Hope that helps!2

Please remember NOT to do too much. None of us are invincible. Make sure you can get enough rest. Money really is NOT everything.
