Offers of help

Hi Rosehaven, I reckon if your friends are asking it's because they do want to help. Don't feel like your taking advantage of them, you are actually helping them feel they are able to assist you in a time when you need it!! Wouldn't you like to help them in the same circumstances?? It's a great feeling to be able to help someone and it doesn't mean that your going to be expecting them to be on call 24/7. Why not write a list of things you do such as household chores, shopping, cooking cleaning, ironing, mowing lawns etc etc... If you have someone wanting to help ask them what they'd like to do or how much time they'd like to spend assisting and then allocate them something to do!! Win win!!! And I don't know if it's financially viable but if you have some friends making you meals throughout the week but still have a shortfall try and see if you can supplement with something like lite and easy to make things easier on yourself.
