Money.

There is a reason for why I still pay one of the bills where I used to live.  Because my name is on the lease and I don't want a back mark my name. I'm also worried that if I stop paying this bill Steve will stop paying the other ones.

I have more money than Steve, although we both only have a state pension, I paid my full contributions whereas Steve didn't so he gets less than me. Steve also spends a lot of money on beer whereas I only buy food although I have spent money on furniture and kitchenware since moving here. They were one off purchases and I'm not expecting to buy much else.

Cass dropped two more bags of wet washing with me this evening  the washing is now decorating the bungalow along with one load of my own washing that I did earlier, the dehumidifier is working overtime.

Dr's appointment tomorrow as I've moved to a new area, my first appointment. As requested, I have written a list of the medication I take. I shall walk Beano first and they go to the appointment. In the afternoon it's the Autumn group meeting which I'm looking forward to.

Really pleased that you have settled in so well. Delighted that you are back on line it felt miserable without your comments and we need to be kept in touch with both you and Beano. Difficult I know when you were waiting for broad band etc., Do get out and enjoy yourself. You did your best and I think you were treat shabbily by Steve even though he has had a stroke. Nature will out. I know you spend wisely and well. Keep your chin up and enjoy your new home and friends. Lots of love Andie. xxxxxxxxx
