Thanks again everyone. It is almost humbling to see how many people are concerned.

The cat seems to be better so that's one good thing.

Though I am still heartbroken at losing my cows and the loss of the money will come hard, I can see that those extra hours put into the herb buisness will probably give it the boost it needs. I think we are on a winner, we just need to get by until we can start earning decent money at it. Ted's new job, though only 18 hours a week, he's really enjoying, so that's a benefit too.

Colyn, I'll pm you later, I have to go and milk cows in a minute, while they are still there! My boss is continuing until she's told she has to stop, and given the speed at which beauracracy works, it may be some time!

Love Lynne
