@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)

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 = £6,510 Owed = £11,1203 -

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
