Only £20 but still worth having, especially as I assume I have benefitted from having the whole amount in my account for a few extra days.

Btw, I told them to leave £800 of it where it was, rather than £400, as I could see my way clear to the end of the month by then

Bellie, I'm so terribly distraught to hear about your four legged friend. I too have had some bad kittie news recently and it just goes to show how fragile life and love can be.

Although your home may be quiet without her, I'm sure she's there in spirit and when you hear that bump in the night or something fall off a counter, who knows? Maybe she came back for a sneaky whisper of a hello?

Bellie - sorry to hear about your cat.

My bad news .... OH has been out of work now for over 6 weeks after a job was delayed by a month. He's now found out that the job has been given to someone else! He's in a pretty specialised field (but highly skilled) and when he went to the Job Centre they didn't have any throughout the whole of the UK!

Sounds like a little creative diversification may be on the cards

Dear Bellie i am so sorry to hear about your cat.

My bad news also revolves around my cat, yesterday we had to spend over £112.00, though that was not the bad news as i had that anyway so it just means paying a bit less on a CC payment.

The bad news is why i had to payout, my little cat was pregnant and yesterday she went into labour, unfortunately the first kitten was born dead which was very distressing for her and all of us, but then labour stopped and after it had stopped for a few hours the vet told us to bring her stright down because her records showed there should be at least another kitten so there may be complications. I was in a bit of a state and she was distressed.

After and exploration and x-ray they still couldn't find one and so it was kinder for her they went straight ahead and spayed her.

I feel so sorry for her and the whole day was just so miserable, even now she is going around the home calling for her kitten and she just can't settle. I know it will pass soon but i hate seeing her like that. I have had many many cats in my life and have never had any go through such difficulties with having kittens, but as the vet said it just wasn't meant to be.:(

Hi QuuenB, thank you for your support, and I am so sorry your your little cat. Will she settle with hugs or is she really distressed. A very mild sedative from the vet might help a little bit. I hope you and her are feeling better very soon, x

Sorry to hear about your cat Bellie

My bad news is that its a long month before I get paid and my phone bill which I thought got paid out of my old bank account didn't get paid so I owe double, plus have 2 birthdays cming up.

Just sent the 1st letter off to my bank in the bid to start re-claiming bank charges, I reckon they owe me thousands, this months charges were over £200 glad I've moved accounts now

Thank you Bellie, she is very clingy at the moment and following me everywhere so yes she is getting plenty of love and careful cuddles (have to make sure i don't touch the sight of her op), its just she knows something is not right, she keeps going to where the kitten was born and calling for it, and then she wonders around the house crying for it. Everytime she hears a high pitched noise, or even if i raise my voice a little she jumps up and runs towards the noise calling. She is also just a bit down, which is understandable. At least she is still eating a little and i am hoping after a few days she will perk up a bit and stop calling, we have to go back to the vets on Friday so if i am still too worried i will discuss it with her then. Its just so sad to watch, and i feel a bit helpless as there is nothing i can do for her.
