Can't remember who asked, our bike shop is dp's hobby/passion. It grew arms and legs and ran off a few years ago, and now we have a club and race team, and put on lots of club and British Cycling events.
But for money to live on, dp has a proper trade, with a long running contract, so he works as many hours as he can, but struggles to sit at the computer for long stretches due to the damage to his back. I work part time doing piece work from home, but the pay is very little. I'm afraid we get what I consider to be a lot in tax credits (4 dc), so would dearly love to have a job that pays rather than a handout. We'd be no better off, but I would have worked for it iyswim.
Sounds great need !!
My credit card debt is horrific
at least 20k, split over 4 cards. Two I have to use when I run out of money and two I balance transfer to, some at 0%, some long term 4%. I pay off about £7-800 a month, but it is always there, looming. For a good first step, I have climbed out of my overdraft. So I in theory have a bit of spare before I need to cc spend.
I buy my fat quarters on the internet mostly. Cotton patch, the tabby cat, and good old ebay are very good. If you go for 100% cotton they are of a set quality really, so all work together. We have an ace independent craft shop in town, but I tend to browse without finding exactly what I want there. £2 - £4 a quarter, but I always have left overs for my stash!
A long post for a sunday morning! Have a happy day everyone!
