morning ladies 
The sun is coming up and it's just at the right angle to reflect off the moon. We live in such a pretty place and so lucky to see this sort of thing.
Mica, that is a very pretty bra, well done! I agree, you could sell them too.
I really like lilith's idea of getting in touch with age concern, popeye. I never even gave them a thought! As for selling up and moving, finding somewhere to move too could be problematic in itself. Could WINZ help you with your rent at all? I know they have the accommodation supplement for times like this. We know what it's like to carry debt. Our business went under in the 90's and left us with a load of it. The stress was unbelievable but we did repay it even if it did take us five years. When a debt collector stood on our doorstep one day because I had missed one payment, I just burst into tears. I showed him our books and he suggested I get a court order to stop the interest. Then kindly said I can see you are trying, I'll tell my boss you weren't home! The court ordered we use the Budgeting Advice (a real dent to my pride) as I prided myself on being able to do it by ourselves but that last 'push' was just too stressful. They were brilliant and were also able to stop creditors from adding compound interest on the bills and to stop businesses from going to debt collectors because of the court order. Budgeting Advice told me I should have gone to them first as they would have dealt with things earlier for us. Silly pride! They took a set amount each week and repaid creditors on our behalf and this was an enormous relief. It gave us a fighting chance to repay what we owed and we could start living. We came so close to loosing everything, I wouldn't wish this on anyone. So even if you aren't in debt, popeye, I would strongly recommend the Budgeting Advice Service. It covers your back in so many ways and sometimes can stop WINZ in their tracks too.
The garden mulch has been bucketed onto the garden. It's much easier to control where the mulch goes and saves double handling using a bucket. Yesterday I bought some silverbeet and cabbage seedlings and MrK will plant them today. We're also planning our winter crops now. I have a white Echinacea daisy and a lantana to plant today so will get on and do that soon. I soaked them in worm wee for several hours yesterday as they looked quite sad and dry. I have a neglected garden along the roadside that desperately needs weeding so will tackle that too.
I might even have another attempt at my tui today. I can't wait to see your denim piece, oh_hunnihunni. It sounds like a fun piece of embroidery to do.
Washing machine has beeped, time to put the throws on the couch into the next load. The Furry One thinks they belong to him so I wash them each week.
Happy crafting
