    Congratulations! :j:T:j


    :eek: La la la la la ... I can't hear you! :rotfl:


    Oh yes you can!!!!!!!!!

    OK have given up trying to load photos..... I am just not techonologically advanced enough :D

    Been buying for DansDads birthday which is Friday today so have been naughty spending. We're all off for pizza on Saturday night and having cake so glad scales dont work :o

    Thanks for the congrats. Thinking back to when I was last debt free completeley was 1998 then I took a car loan out and the rest is history... Its a weird feeling thinking that apart from the mortgage and bills nowt else is coming out. I need to get Christmas out of the way before I notice a real difference I think then I must get on top of things and have a nice new MFW OP target for 2011 :D

    Still feeling a bit rubbish. This 'cold' wont actually come to anything is just lurking in the throat area...... DansDad bless him offloaded all my haylage and got the boys in for me last night..... I couldnt do without him :A

  • Have had some good news! (No I'm not invited to THE wedding! :D)

    On Saturday morning on the way to work I found a little cat who had been hit by a car. Couldnt find her owners so took her to my Vets. We eventually found the owners at lunchtime who initially were not happy that I'd done that and wanted to take her home. The Vet thought she had a broken pelvis, dislocated right hip and internal injuries. For the rest of Saturday I was pretty inconsolable as I couldnt bear the thought of something similar happening to one of mine. I rung on Monday and she was being xrayed but was described as pretty poorly :(

    However I rung today and looks like she'll be going home soon which is fabulous:) Shes a dear little thing, she used to drink from my pond in the summer, but its such a relief to me.......

    Have been Christmas shopping so not terribly MS!! Managed to spend £77 in Waterstones on Monday :eek: Nearly done now though and I have put another £50 into the spends account. I am really noticing the lack of Willie payment from the bank account as it looks pretty buoyant at the moment, but have a imminent vets visit with my Fluffball who need certain glands clearing.....:o

    Been cross stitching which is something I havent done for several years, so doing cards for Ma, my aunt and Nan..... Pizza night was lovely although my chin is doing a good impression of the pacific basin!

    Glad to hear the kitten is gettign on ok DansMum. I'm confused as to why the owners wouldn't want her at the Vets though, surely they wouldn't have let her suffer!?!

    It's nice to have a happy bank isn't it :) even if it's only for a short while...

  • Thanks SmlSave

    I think it was a bit political as my Vets is not their vets if you see what I mean... Howver my vets are better :D

    The owner has asked for my number apparently he's going to call and say thanks - no need for that as long as she's OK.... :A

  • Had a day off yesterday :p Did some Christmas Shopping :D Bought Ma and Dansdad a little treat from Lush (love lush!!) and bought DansDad a retro weenicon alram clock as getting up is not his strong point. I do all my shopping either from catalogues or online which saves a lot of needless impulse buying!! Also took poor old Peanut to have his 'glands' squeezed... I wasnt popular for the rest of the day! I did manage to pop on 51 books on GreenMetropolis. I have been very MSE and finally joined the library to save the need to keep buying books all the time...:o

    Had a nice clop on Dan with a friend on her horse although got rained on and therefore got flippin cold :eek:

    Had to buy haylage today and shavings so another £55 :eek:

    Although I am feeling the debt free benefit I think it may be New Year before I can make any more overpayments on Chez moi.

    Have been getting home though of an evening lighting the fire and digging the cross stitching out, which I havent done for years. Getting cards done which will be nice for the family I hope...:cool:
