Sorry Amber my week has been a cross between the Twilight Zone and soap opera with falling ratings at Christmas.

Today's joy looking after dDad while working. It feels like the toddler years are back (minus trying to fish fuzzy felt out of bottoms and sultanas out of noses hopefully). Thankfully they have superfast internet so I can "work".

Missed loads but most importantly wolf a puppy? still doing lots of overtime. Bought a joules coat. Whoops

Great news about the test em. It’s always lovely to get home when you’ve been away though isn’t it.
tayto holiday sounds beautiful. We’ve never been to Ireland, I know DP would love to.
Interesting about the cats - when we got ours she had a kitten who very sadly was run over when she was about one. Our cat (the mum) was v affectionate with the kitten as a baby but seemed to get very fed up with her once she was grown. Bossed her at feeding time as you describe. It put me off having two cats together again so it’s nice to know it can work out.

Back with my bestie

Stabby jabby no2 yesterday. God I feel like shit. So much for my crowing of minimum side affects

Morning all. Sorry I'm not keeping up. I have a furry terrorist keeping my hands very full

It's fine wolf. Hope he is settling ok

Morning just wanted to let let owners know about the bargain insurance I’ve found. I’ve been very wedded to Petplan as it has a good reputation, but so does Bought by Many according to which...has anyone heard of them? My vet said they are good and I’ve got cover for both cat and dog for £41 pcm with 15,000 per year vet fees covered and cover for life. That’s around £30 less than I was paying for pet plan with less cover. There’s also an option to get 7,000 per year fees and 20% of your yearly premium back if you don’t claim. And cheaper plans too

Pet not let!! Blimey

wow martha that's amazing - i'll give them a go when cat faces insurance comes up for renewal. i have a difficult time with insurances as some don't cover channel islands. but will give them a look

NZD125 on nephews birthday gift. his birthday is tomorrow. and i only remembered this morning. oops.

but have ordered online from a local toy store (saves postage) so fingers crossed it gets there!

I got bought by many for life puppy.

Nsd. It feels like a long time until pay day next week though!

Evening everyone 😊
Glad you are at home Em 💐
Had a NSD today yay!
Watching the footie , l never do normally! Think it's a strange side effect because of lockdown 🤪
Hope everyone is ok , starting to rain here now 😒

I have resisted Amazon prime too !! 😀👏🤣

I haven't but on things I will use. Want lots, need nowt

I haven’t either. But the promises of a waterproof sand repelling comes with pins beach/picnic blanket for £15 made me do it.

That pic nic blanket sounds ace
Feeling better today so back to work. NSD planned so should be ok

Afternoon everyone
Have bought bargains from the Matalan outlet in Newport, 2 x purple single fluffy teddy sheets for 2.50 each.
A lovely king size duvet set for 7 and a dress for Dd 5
2 x linen tea towels for 50p
Em Picnic blanky sounds absolutely fabulous!

How does it repel sand Em? I might carpet the whole house with it as ds is always traipsing sand in from outside

No idea!! But fingers crossed it works!!

Maybe talc on it ? Dm always used to douse me and dsis in talc on the beach if we were Sandy. It somehow magically helps the sand fall off.

Spendy day today. £200 in Pandora on a bracelet for Dm for her birthday tomorrow. I wanted a simple bracelet with the dcs initials. However. They only had F’s. And not C’s. So we had to do a rethink. The lady showed me the “grandma” charm and the little boy and girl. Super cute. So I went for those.

And £35 white co on bath stuff and a trinket dish for Dm too.

I justified the huge spend on her by thinking we’d probably usually spend that much but over a few different gifts. So it looks more but feels like we’ve spent less of that makes sense.

So I spent €136350 today

(It always throws me when you guys - being the U.K. and Ireland- buy houses mid week. We can only buy houses on a Friday here…!)

Money well spent happier

em that's unusual is due to court or something?
Delighted with my little house

Congratulations Happier that's fantastic
