I hope the cat hand over goes well.

Yeah I didn't sleep last night, had a panic attack this morning then cried until I started work 🙄
Bloody covid

Oh that’s awful Queen, I really hope they can come up with something for you.

Do you have to remortgage? A colleague of dhs was £30k upside down and had a mortgage so he had an Iva instead and kept his house.

We rented with Asbo.

Im so sorry sweetie. Well done you on getting the valuation in quick. Smart move. IMHO lenders want you - you worked through lockdown, unlike many, you are not weighed down by dependants, you have a reliable income. Right now that’s way better than a lot of people.

Most important: have you eaten anything? Cup of tea ☕️ too. After the food force yourself to do breathing exercises for 15 minutes. What a shitty day but it’s nearly over.

Oh Queen, of course you need to talk. So sorry you're going through this. You and Ollie can't be parted. I've no advice really but here to listen. Also I rent and I'm allowed 2 cats.

I rent with Capn. None of the 39 cats in the place are legal but once they’re in, they’re in to stay. So don’t worry about that.

@Fluffycloudland77 I have to because I can't afford the mortgage payments on the ridiculous short term and it's coming to the end

Have you got someone on hand to be with when you do a session of calls. Might be an idea. But tonight is for nice things only.

That’s a problem, but a fixable one. You’re a very very long way from a disaster scenario love, but of course it’s the only one we ever imagine isn’t it. Keep the faith.

I've done 45 mins on the phone to mortgage guy tonight who seems v nice and good. Valuation is online so it's all waiting now
I have had two mortgage offers before covid so everything crosse

Oh Queen! I'm afraid I have no advice for you whatsoever. I've rented ever since I split from my ex and it's always a worry when you have a cat. I've always said I'd rather be homeless than be without Leroy 😱. I can offer an understanding "been there" shoulder to cry on though.

(((Hugs)))

Am crossing everything, Capn’s got all 4 paws crossed, lovey. Try and get an early night.

Well I emailed another mortgage place earlier and have just had this back

I have to admit I don't really understand, but that email is good news and you won't have to move, yes?

It seems so! I'm waiting for a follow up email but he's managed to come up with that in 6hrs

Sounds good! Definitely time for a snuggle and a cuppa.

Ollie has retreated to his marshmallow bed which is now back in favour

Feed us, mother.

So glad crisis is (hopefully) averted.
There would be an outcry on here if you and the legendary Ollie had to be parted.
Hope you get some sleep tonight.

I could cry. He's basically wrapped up a load of debt and given me a new mortgage for under £400pm

Those cats do NOT look like they need feeding, iklboo!

Did you tell him Ollie was sadly packing Dreamies into his little red spotted handkerchief, Queen?
Is he single?

@QueenPaw

I could cry. He's basically wrapped up a load of debt and given me a new mortgage for under £400pm

Oh that’s incredible! So pleased for you! He must be a cat lover 💕

@iklboo what has the one cat done to his paws?.

In the nicest possible way @iklboo, I hope you sleep with a gun under your pillow .
