    That sounds fun @Zimba :) I happen to really like Queen, hope you have a good time

    @Ada sorry to hear about that, I hope you get time to your hobbies too

    @Lou67 It's quite amazing what you can watch with technology these days. If I get the chance I'll usually watch rocket launches to space :)

    Very windy out but its warm too. Met a neighbour who lives over the road, she asked if I want to go to prize bingo once a week in the evening at the local. I said yes

    My parents like to do bingo nights at a local bingo hall. It's fairly cheap apparently and though they rarely win it does get them out the house. And there is the small chance you do win something!

    I'm not a huge fan cause it is sort of gambling? But if it's cheap and a bit of fun I don't see that being very harmful.

    There's a site my partner uses to buy seeds where they have offers on vegetable seeds for those in need. So you can grow your own veg and save some money that way. I think they only sell them over the winter to prepare for the spring but I'll need to ask her what site it is.

    @Sandy_123
    Oh that’ll be good to get out and have a nice night with your neighbour and you might just win something your needing. 
    Yes and might come home with the bingo caller 😂

    @Ada
    I totally get what your saying and I know your more settled once your rent and bills are paid.
    Sorry to say this again did you apply to the Discretionary Fund, i never once got refused when I applied when I was in a private let.
    Also the welfare fund for help with household items. I just want you to be comfortable.

    I asked her and apparently they still have some. 

    So they sell the seeds at half their value. They also pick varieties that shouldn't need a greenhouse in the UK and are fairly easy to grow. They also don't include hybrid seeds, so their seeds can be harvested and replanted next year. They give instructions in the pack on how to do that.

    Hi @Lou67 didn’t get the help with rent. I did get it nine years ago. Apparently this council is known for being poor. Did also find out that in my area it’s a postcode how much rent they pay. Just the next street get more help. That’s a new one on me. 
    But I keep forgetting about the welfare fund. Who do you apply to. xx
    Oh that’s such a shame,  it’s my local council’s Welfare Fund they help with white goods and furniture. Also that number I put in for  Leap they help with white goods and other things you should really try there to. ❤️
