There’s a volume 1?? Marvellous! Do you have a link please?Cherryfudge said:@Muddy_Walker, I was very impressed that you read everything in one go! OBL does draw you in, doesn't she? Did you know this is volume 2?Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8941 -
@Onebrokelady, that's not good news about your legs. Is the remedy from the other day (Ibuprofen and raised on a pillow?) worth another try? It seemed to help before.
I'm so pleased the new neighbour seems nice! You must be relieved. You could even invite her to the friendship group as a way of getting to know her and helping her find her feet, if that would work for you.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

She seems nice on first impressions 😊 it's the lady that works at the school with four children. B had been barking so I said sorry I hope you don't work nights , she said not to worry she works at the school and her kids can be a bit rowdy so they will balance each other out. It looks like she will be up and out early most of the days I'm going to work so B shouldn't bother them too much.jwil said:Fingers crossed the neighbour is nice, and good idea on the friendship group.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942 -
I didn't get much pottering done today. I did the floors had lunch then fell asleep on the settee . I woke up two hours later under a pile of cats 😀I don't feel much better to be honest so might have an early night.
Im meeting DD at 11 tomorrow and I'm hoping it will be dry and I will be able to walk because the buses are useless on a Sunday. I'll have to get a bus back though.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8943 -

Hope you enjoyed your meet with dd2 and that the legs held out for you. I’ve joined a knit and natter group at the local wool shop and there’s only a few people go. It’s a token amount in the tea fund. It’s quite nice. Do they do anything like that near you. There’s definitely more natter than knitting 👍January spends - £587.583

We had a nice time thanks. There is a knit and natter group at my local wool shop but it's normally on when I'm at work. There's one at Dunelm in the cafe but again I can't always get to it because it's a couple of buses away from me.milann said:Hope you enjoyed your meet with dd2 and that the legs held out for you.
