All caught up. Well done on the hosting. Well done on returning things that didn't bring sufficient joy, You are doing well at clearing down the debt. Glad you have your new mattress sorted now too. 

On the art framing - could you buy ready made frames with mounts from the Swedish shop or places like the R*ng3

I keep a note of the frame sizes I need ,in my purse, so that I can check the Charity shops.They usually have a box of frames somewhere and I’ve been very lucky.

Thanks @jwil @savingholmes @liselle Great ideas for the frames. I will take measurements of my posters today. Thank you   

So, I had a lovely day yesterday with my friend. We went to a lovely part of a neighbouring area. It was a long walk there and back, but we took our time. We went out for a meal that my friend treated me to. She went back this morning.

I had part one of a medical appointment...

Then, on my way to the station with friend I had a call...would I take 2 people at short notice for 4 nights. The house was guest ready and I had lots of clean linen in the cupboard. I cobbled together a meal that went down well...I'm quite pleased I could respond to the request positively without feeling stressed. Both guests are nice, so I am expecting everything to be fine. I am enjoying thinking how to spend the money, although some will go to debt

I have lots of white rice and kidney beans, so I plan to buy some turkey mince for a chilli and some leaves for a salad...

I caught sight of my hands today. They need work. I was thinking of buying some hand scrub, but shopping from home I found a mini body scrub I will use instead. I was going to buy a good nail file but I have a few cheaper ones that I will use up first. I dug out some nice hand cream 

That is me for yesterday and today 

To do

• find yoga info for laminating (I will be attempting sun salutations once I get this done. Not sure I can do some of the poses but going to give it a go...)
• hands and nails action

Hoping all is well in your world

Thank you. I thought the same

Ooh the extra unexpected money will be nice.

if you want a cheap hand scrub just mix some sugar or salt with cooking oil / coconut oil and scrub away !
