  • Been food shop and now we have no money till end of month...Grrrrrr

    Looks like one of the credit cards will be coming out to say hello again. Only for petrol and basic food. Nightmare.

    Trying not to let it get to me. So annoying though.

    Taking my little girl to local park to take my mind off things this arvo.

    My water has been off for the last three hours (doing maintenance) now its all brown and yukky!! Been running it to try and clear it... but thats such a waste of water!

    Any advice?

    Have you got a water filter jug? perhaps use the run off to water plants?

    Lucifa.....Boots do them I think. They work on the basis of accupressure and are meant to work on nausea. Like all these things, they don't work for everyone but they certainly won't do any harm in any case.

    Lucy: fingers crossed for your cat. We lost one a couple of years ago to a car accident - we were devastated.

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    It's the cattitude which may keep him in!!! Once they dressed the wound on Saturday night and gave him painkillers etc, he was feeling so much better he decided to tear the dressing off :o

    He wouldn't lie still for his x-rays, wouldn't be weighted down and ended up being knocked out :rolleyes: :o

    He has a lot of fight my little boy!!

    I am just hoping he hasn't done any damage to the blood flow to his paw, as it could be a problem if he has.

    But should find out about 3 if he can come home.

    He sounds like a right little tomcat! lol Bless him. Hope it's good news. Although I'm sure if he's ok enough to tear his dressing off there can't be that much wrong with him! Lol!

    No doesn't look like it does it!

    Hopefully he will be good and change the dressing ok.

    Hi I_A. Glad you went for the tat. You deserve it for sure.

    I'm feeling much better after a very constructive conversation with the mortgage people. We were worried about finances once my six weeks at full pay are over but Northern Rock have confirmed we're entitled to a payment holiday from February for 6 months so that's a big relief. I know the interest will accrue but we couldn't have managed without credit cards otherwise and once I'm back to work various loans should be paid in full and we'll be able to concentrate on throwing money at the mortgage and saving a deposit to move.:D

    Adding to my good mood - a cheese and hame sandwich seems to have fixed the nausea for the time being;)
