Hey Lizbeth
What wonderful changes you are making. Apart from always being on the go with something I am so glad that you went out with your friend and her hubby, good on you.
Getting creative, planning things, its all good, shopping for bargains, doing your own tax, look at you go. I am glad you are getting through the urges and continuing forward. It sounds as though your mum and yourself have kind of worked out the argument so might be a bit smoother. Whatever happens you have a good attitude and a good heart. Keep going Lizbeth, leave gambling in the dust
