    Hi all, a pad of £9.50 today - £9 to the Cat Lair and 50p to Barclaycard.

    This means I have enough to order my new Cat Lair! :j It will take up to a month to arrive as it is handmade. Will post a pic of it with the furryfaces as soon as it arrives and is assembled by OH (I missed out on the DIY gene).

    Really pleased as my old cat tree is rubbish and the older furries are scared to go on it cos it wobbles. :o They need the stimulation as they are house cats and it needs to survive three of them for blooming ages since it cost so much!

    Will be starting my flooring fund next - need to find about £500 to get laminate flooring for the hall and tiles for the bathroom floor.

    Not being a cat person, I have never heard of or seen a cat tree or a cat lair, but I am looking forward to seeing the pics, I'm intruiged! I'm a bit jealous too, I'm rubbish at saving!

    Hi mumof4...thank you so much for the encouragement !! (and all you other lovely peeps) Feeling good :j

    Well as you lovely MSE's all know, knowledge is power so been using the internet a lot to help me, including some stop smoking forums (peeps are no-where near as nice as the PAD forum though!)

    All good - I can actually feel blood returning into my feet and hands which are warm and thats great.

    Also The £5 extra PAD is SO motivating. The only thing that's hard is wet cough I have and the mental battle of the little devil in my head all the time saying "you're doing well, you can have just one Andy" and fighting that - but the stuff I'm reading says that will go soon if I tough it out.

    I have my clinic appointment tomorrow and very excited to see how much my carbon monoxide reading has gone down !! ......but that's enough of me turning the board into my own personal stop smoking diary :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope everyone is having a good day!!

    Afternoon all,

    I thought about padding when I first got up this morning, at 3AM :eek:but decided it was a little too early :rotfl: My poor wee baby seems to have picked up a virus :( You could have fried an egg on him this morning. He's tucked up in bed sleeping it off whilst I'm fighting to stay awake on the sofa;)

    A trip to the dentist for DD and I later on this aft, oh the joys!! Hoping my teeth will be :D when they've finished :rotfl:

    Any hoo, my pad today is £300 to scAbbey card.

    Hope you're having all having a betterday than me!!

    :D The Cat Lair sounds much more exciting than it really is - it's basically just a really tall pole with various beds and platforms for the cats to play/sleep on!

    I'm not a good saver either but having a specific goal helps me and I'm only using money earned from surveys, cashback and daily clicks - with occasional donations from OH's ebay proceeds. ;)

    Thanks for the woo-hoo Andy - yes they are very lucky furries - not that I'll get any thanks for it, I'm just their slave. :rotfl:

    Well done with your stopping smoking, keep it up. :T
