Have you asked if you can get any help with coucil tax or rent benefit from your local council? Self employed people can get help. They could aslo tell you if you can get a clothing grant for school uniform. This is sometimes available for children just before they move up to senior school. Good luck.

Weeding!!

2 allotments and if I dont keep on with it, it becomes a jungle very quickly.

Mean outside planted. Put first ones in March time, when we had a weekend of sun.

Also wondering if it will be a bad year again due to lack of rain...

used tin of pre made caramel (bought so i didn't have to made up) 6 months out of date as part of cake filling. Kids and i had a Upoon full to try and no ill effects.

Have known my nan to use tinned salmon and ham over 2 years out of date, we are all still fit and well.
