Tomorrow's out because I need milk and bread, but thursday is looking very possible. If I manage it that'll be the last one to meet my target this month.I refuse to be afraid of the big bad wolf, spiders, or debt collection agencies; one of them's not real and the other two are powerless without my fear.
(Ok, one of them is powerless, spiders can be nasty.)
As of the last count I have cleared [STRIKE]23.16%[/STRIKE] 22.49% of my debt.

Just back from vets, puss has cystitis, vet said I was right not to leave it as we can nip it in the bud, otherwise he could've got a blockage which is potentially fatal.:eek:
He got antibiotics, anti inflammatories and special diet. Apparently he has a wee roll of fat around his tum which wont help the pressure on the bladder so he's on a diet! I didnt think he was overweight but there you go!
Anyhoo - £90 to the vet, but worth every penny as I couldnt have my wee fluffball suffering.
I didnt spend anything else today so as the £90 was out of the emergency fund - Im claiming a NSD - 16 for me now! Thanks
Away for a lie-down and a nice cuppa!:)
Sunnylooloo - thanks for the gold tip - sent mine to Hatton Garden Metals - fingers crossed!;)
JintyB, I know this sounds really silly but I didn't think boy cats (or boy anythings) could get cystitis! Hehe, you're probably all going to laugh at me now! Oh well, you learn something new every day!LBM 04/05/10 :T DEBT FREE 30/07/10 :j I made it!CHALLENGES: 0 bought lunches June or JulyAug SoL: 15/21 June NSDs: 11/14 July NSDs 12/11 :j Aug NSDs: 5/12 Savings target: £500/50000 -
NSD 15 for me - I've met my target woohoo!! with 4 days to spare. Not going to aim for a new target though, quite happy with my little 15. Might brave an increase to 16 next month.Just back from vets, puss has cystitis, vet said I was right not to leave it as we can nip it in the bud, otherwise he could've got a blockage which is potentially fatal.:eek:

Aww poor little cat jintyb, my little puss suffers from the same thing and he's been on the special diet for a year now. Luckily he loves it, its a bit more expensive than normal cat food but worth every penny as I never want to see him suffer like that again. Hope your lad is feeling better soonTrying to jump back onto the moneysaving wagon .... :cool:0 -

Depending on where u live what about students....
Am wondering about medical students, cos i've heard they are too busy studying to get up to mischief!! Or maybe a mature student.... not sure any old student would really work, i'm not sure i could live with anyone too young, especially with my no overnight guests rule!!!Sunnylooloo wrote: »Phew. Yes where my new lodger is now - they really only took him on my recommendation. I know that Mr Looloo's ex wife was a bit funny knowing we had a lodger when the kids came to stay - but we assured her we knew him and he had his own son who also came to stay (and as I said we hardly saw him)
I think a friend of a friend is the best thing or someone's work colleague. It is very hard as you do have to be so careful, but I think some simple ground rules, a depostit etc will be ok. If you do decided I have a draft of a simple contract (not sure how legal it acutally is) that my friend signed in his new place - it's a word document so you can play around with it - so let me know and I will email it to you.
Gosh today is dragging and the magic filing fairy had not appeared yet so best I get on and do it!!
xx
Sunnylooloo, thanks you've been so helpful i've sent you a pm, as i'd love a copy of your contract, you are an angel :ANargleblast wrote: »This weekend's outing......the chav alley cider bash is a possibility, no need for too many balloons or banners, just a few fairy lights to shove up in BDINI's back passage. Scrumpy, anyone?
Nargle your outfit sounds fab you'll fit in perfectly!!! :rotfl:
& i tell you, my poor back passage has never been the subject of so much attention :rotfl:
Jinty hope your poor puddy cat is on the mend?
Not going to hit target now as i've spent again today :mad:
My only real friend from my brief period living in the West Midlands rang to tell me her husband has left her, so i agreed to go & stay a couple of days at the end of the month & after finding a really good deal on train tickets had to book them today. Debated not counting it till i use them, but that would be cheating as i have spent the money today!!
Still can't believe i am upset about "only" getting 15 NSD's this month, 6 months ago i wouldn't even have been close!! (good job Johnny isn't really an object of my lust!!)
