    Im such a big kid when it comes to birthdays, but it is my 21st so i think it will be something special. It wouldnt be so bad if i wasnt home alone!

    ETA: even the cat is taking an interest in - admittedly only because she wants to sleep in the box, but still!

    I'm back!!!!!!

    It looks like I have got a lot of pages to read to catch up, so please bear with me!

    We had a lovely holiday, we were really lucky with the weather, I spent more money than I meant to, but hey ho, the holiday did me the power of good and I am raring to go with the debt busting so I will have paid off my holiday expenses fairly soon, I am sure!

    The best bit (well 2 bits really) is that it is nearly payday (Friday) and I have still got nearly a week before I go back to work (Tuesday)! Woohoo!

    I have set up my first post-holiday PAD which will go out of my account tomorrow. I am not going to be able to PAD as much as I thought but I should be able to do a reasonable amount.

    Anyway, bye for now and catch up with you all later!

    Thanks for that mswan

    Mine was only 8 when he died, had always been as fit as a flea and even upto getting him pts you couldn't tell he was ill - I think that's the hardest part to deal with he just looked so healthy, if he'd lost weight etc I think we'd have coped better but one day he was fine and the next he was ill.

    I can't really afford it either but the kids (well oldest 2) are going to contribute towards it and my OH has said he'll help too. Just my parents who seem so against it saying I'll regret it and Amber is too old now - er she's only 7!!! although she seems to have aged before our eyes - she's got more grey hairs than me now :rotfl: poor baby and I think she'd love having another dog to boss about like she did with George, she's a right madam!:D
    Ooops sorry for the ramble :o

    I really feel for you having to make the decision but deep down I think you have already decided. All I can say is it is a choice only you can make but I made it and although it is hard (and a bit expensive) at times I love it :T and you have the kids to help you woo hoo
  • Hi Piggin and welcome back :wave:
    Glad you had a nice holiday

    Thanks. It's the money bit I'm worried about :o feel like I'm being a bit irresponsible as it's coming up for Christmas :eek: and I still have large debts to pay but I suppose it could be a kind of Christmas present for us all plus it's my birthday next month so :o

    Ooooh have just been looking at breeders websites and saw some puppies - good job I'm at work cos I'd be blubbing now if I was at home on my own :o

    I wish I could give it a miss this year! I used to love Christmas but now have to say I could do without it!!! I think it should only happen every other year like a leap year :rotfl::rotfl:
