wine's good for me, got some year old elderberry that I made that is going down rather nicely at the moment!, rhubarb wine is ready for racking off, anyone fancy a tipple?
That sounds good lem - I'd be up for it if I lived close enough!!

lol Skippy, it is an acquired taste I'll give you that! the elderberry is good though, first time I ever made it, just collected berries from the local lanes, potent stuff though!
I love rhubarb and we do have a crown in the garden. We have loads of elderberries here.

There a new cider that Adsa has started stocking - elderberry /lime - still has the required alcohol in it !!! - but with loads of ice it taste really diffrent.
the IVA has really taught us about budgeting,i firmly believe we have to learn to budget what we have,you can over spend whatever your income.
in a strange way it feels as though i have more as i'd never got a set budget for cash to buy food until now. but obviously big holidays etc are past life. my hubby insisted on "looking after" the £,telling me i'd "no need to worry about it". it drove me mad to not even have money for bread in my purse.
my lovely nana died with breast cancer,she was more like a mother to me(my parents live a long way away). i was with her when she died,i miss her so terribly,the times i've wished over the last year i could have gone to her for a hug,my eyes are brimming thinking about her. she was such a blessing to me & my children.
big hug to those missing loved ones xx
Nothing stays the same...everything changes..hang on in there!
Not tried that one ginger - will have to have a look out for it!

hi skippy,big hug to you,were you close to your aunt? my Nana's cancer had spread too,it was everywhere. i sat with her every day in the hospice, the staff were wonderful there. she was so brave. she was my Nana,a mother & a friend all rolled into one. think i will always miss her. sorry i'm rabbiting on a bit,it was the anniversary this week so bit weepy with it x

My aunt was a very private person so not even the family could get that close to her. It's a shame as she had a very dry sense of humour and was very kind and her and I had a lot in common really. I loved her dearly though and I miss her.
Your Nana sounds lovely and you will always miss her the same way as I still miss my Dad after all this time. I think as time goes on though you miss them in a different way. I'm missing my Dad a lot at the moment as I'd have loved him to see me get married and every now and then I get tearful about that.
Don't worry about rabbiting, we're all here for you and if you ever want to talk off the forum I'm around xxx
Rosepetal don't be sorry she was very important to you and we shouldn't forget those we have loved and lost. I use to thing that material things would make me happy, I've had the holidays and the nice cars, sure it nice to have them and my hubby has worked 80 hours a week so we had enough to pay creditors but what sort of life is that. Now we are going into an iva I know it's not going to be easy but I would rather have my hubby and for us to spend quality time together even if it is going out for a walk or watching the tv at home with a cuppa or wine. Money comes and goes but family is what is important. I'm only 44 and I have been to countless numbers of funerals of people I loved, so I'm not going to waste my time worrying about money I don't have I just going to be postive and enjoy my family. The happiness of your life depends on the quality of the thoughts x x
