Hello there. Very very good advice. What a brilliant forum this is.I find i really can talk to you all and you understand.After the Christmas Hols when i have time i will have my hair cut and really tidy myself up. I dont have much money but i reckon with a bitof effort and time i can find decent stuff to wear.I feel awful not having a job but who would care my son if i did work outside the home. I have also enrolled on an OU History course. Not sure if this is right but i need things to do when son is at school. Husband is retired and loves just seeing how the day goes. He retired really early but i love to work. Thanks for all advice, i will act on it! xx
