Thank you all...lovely to see you pop into my diary gun jack! I struggle to keep up with peoples diaries so do a few cos used to spend all night doing nowt but diaries and knitting is more productive!
Had a nice pottery day - defrosted freezer (inspired by penguin!), did washing, hoovering, took decs down and now just knitting, cava that I didnt want last night and gavin and stacey so there'll be roaring in splott!!
Not sure I could go as far as happy KP - will achieve that when work sorted but for now am feeling positive generally and no bad thing in current circumstances...no matter what I have wonderful friends, including my online ones, and a roof over my head - better than many.

Well I did the snowball - not sure if I did it right but it came out as just over 4 yrs for the cc's. Can see the benefit of updating it but may have to ask you all some ? to do so! Feels good to have gone through the panic barrier and done it.
Another nsd today so thats about a weeks worth now! Am trepedatious at joining challenges because tend to feel under more pressure so will, for now at least, use my diary to update!

Thats what you get for hibernating taxi...nsd's and running out of milk!!
Lovely day today...church am with a mad dash to take my crb check to work while kettle boiling then church, allotment and impromptu yummy lunch at a friends and home for chilling. Isoke frantic to get out so suspect she may be a tad advanced so vet call tomorrow to see if I can get her done now rather than wait...her age is unknown as she was abandoned so suspect shes either small for her age or just a tart. Regardles of which it is shes getting done asap! Won scrabble which made a nice change!! Now off to yummy heated bed (forgot to turn it off this am) after I eat a couple of chocs I found when defrosting freezer and sipped end of wine. Simple pleasures.

Mr scratch is not a happy chappy as he wants out. He is over a year now and I have put off having him done but due to fighting and smell hes about to go in a few minutes to the Vets.

Well done on Snowball ISOM shows howfar you have come on in 09 as I know you have put that off before

Had one of those just do it mornings - did meter readings and I'm in credit - despite heating being on/of all day...chuffed as strategy for wrapping up more has worked but want to get it down a bit more...
Also checked my APR's and have updated snowball which went up slightly to 45 months so aim to beat that down! Cant wait for work sitiation to be sorted so I can pay one off in full and see what that does to it! Snowball is now my friend! Ok may have taken about 6 year but hey better late than never!
Rang GP and have appt on Friday so will see what he says. Feel generally very "flat" and wonder whether I should just push through it as suspect that its normal in the circumstances..but want to check as no point feeling so low if I dont have to.
Also rang vet and waiting for callback. Great that you had yours done KP. There is an ever lurking ginger tom here who I would take to the vet myself if I could catch him - dread to think how many kittens hes responsible for....Off to have brekkie and painkillers. Lifting slabs etc yesterday has left me in pain - we knew we were overdoing it but at the same time wanted to get it done so new recipient could have the plot as its a good time for clearing - if you ignore the cold lol!!
