Highs, Lows and all the bits in between.....

Well not much happening here money wise (I suppose that's a good thing!):)
Sorry to hear about your DS BF our DD passed on her third attempt but I do think she is a better more confident driver because of it keep us posted xx
Yesterday was a NSD as had cinema vouchers, enjoyed a little time with DS just vegging out yesterday and I fitted in a short half hour
run while he was at the gym!
Not so sure about the NSD today as little pup has to go to the vets he seems to struggle to walk or run for more than half an hour then he starts to limp:o
Hoping it's nothing serious the last time we had a dog with symptoms like this he lost his leg!!! and this one is only 1 :eek:

Oh well will soon find out

Wahoo another NSD and you went to the pictures too....mind you I used to put the kids their nibbles in my hand bag and always took bottles of drink in as well...saved a helluva lot of money at the time and the kids never noticed or even if they did then they never said anything

Hope your little puppy is okay and that it is just that he has been over enthusiastic and its nothing more than a little sprain or something.

I miss my dog terribly. She went to a new home when I moved into the flat, I had only just had her over a year, but as she didn't have a garden and the flat was smaller...then at the time it seemed the best for her....:(

fingers crossed for you at the vets

What type of dog is she/he?

funnyflipp

Oh BF sorry you had to re home your pooch, my little one that went to the vets is a rescue as the lady couldn't cope with him I felt bad as she was so upset but he is so loved where he is now
with our others for company and four people in the house he has a wail of a time we really couldn't imagine being without him so hopefully yours is in the same situation xx
Yesterday was a NSD but only because the vet was so busy he didn't have time to make up the bill, little pooch has to go back for x-rays that will hopefully tell us more they think it might be his elbow

Apart from that not much I have to chase up my 0% card application and I have a horrendous sore throat developing may have to delay my 16 mile training walk until Sunday / Monday to rest a little

Have a good day all xx

Hello everyone I'm back from the weekend madness
Pup is at the vets for his xrays, DS needs new school shoes and OH car is in for a service!!! Low spend week I think not!:cool:

I managed my 16 mile walk this weekend and my throat has dulled down thankfully!
I was turned down for a 0% card :mad::mad: but then when I looked through my finances it has just spurred me on to organise things better so may not be all bad!
Budgets are looking doable providing things don't get out of hand over easter!!
The mortgage has gone out today and also the sofa payment (only 4 more to go!)
Have a good day all

Hope that the little puppy hasn't anything too wrong with his leg, could be just a sprain or something but I guess you will know more when he gets his xrays.

It was sad to rehome my little pooch, but she went somewhere she is very much loved and they have more time with her and she has a garden.:)

16 mile walk....do you walk a set distance each time? Do you wear a pedometer?

I am looking to start my running again after the bank holidays and as my friend has now moved nearer we can do it after work....we hope to aim for 5k and possibly increase it further....dependant on how we do....:cool: we did have good intentions before but went out of the window when it was cold and rainy...am hoping by that time we are back on schedule and running three times a week by then.

Hello all, Well where to start!
BF I am doing the moonwalk so at the moment I do measured distances (use goggle maps) however I have restarted running to help out and also reduce the time it takes
when I have finished training, I am however waiting for a back op so once the walking training is finished I will still have my share of dog walks but the running will be limited to no more than 3 times a week
I like you am hoping that I will be in enough of a routine by the time the dark nights and bad weather return, good luck with your running and keep us posted

Poorly pup cost me £126 yesterday!! :eek:and needs further investigation but it looks like he has a dodgy elbow so will need medication and limited exercise (not too bad) he can still manage 40 mins twice a day but I worry how it will affect him as he gets older

Money wise I have paid some more off hte card but have the rest of my car money to pay so don't quite know where I stand at the moment, will update over the course of this week
Bought DS shoes yesterday £45!:o and went to Mr T's £68!:o so all in all quite a costly day need to make sure the next few are not so bad!!!:cool:

burntfingers_2

Oh no....the price of the vets is soooooooo expensive. Hope little pooch is feeling a bit better today and that it doesn't turn out to be so expensive for you in the future. Is he insured??

As for the running we want to eventually run further than the 5k but think that is a good starting point until we get into a regular routine at least :T

Plus as I am a size 20 and my collegue is about a size 14 then its not going to happen overnight....but any excercise is surely a good thing...:)

Morning
BF yes pup is insured so will need to make sure that is kept up!
I think that your plan for the run is fab if either you or your friend have a phone that downloads apps the C25K (couch to 5K) one is fab highly recommended
it's the best 1.79 I spent!
No matter what your size doing something is absolutely better than doing nothing, I'll cheer lead from here :j:j:j

In money matters I spent Nothing yesterday thank god and pay day is approaching so I'll be heaving a sigh of relief then! just need to tax OH car (already saved for) and have paid a little extra of the card so going the right way just not as quickly as I would like!:o

funnyflipp

Well I have made a few more payments to the CC with what precious little I have left and am planning away to make sure I don't go over budget on these next two weekends :eek:

Off to see a show tonight (tickets were bought a while back) so that will be a nice start to the weekend
and then some more training walks, time in the garden a little running with plenty of work in the mix as our year end is fast approaching:eek::eek:
I have made a list and already two 4 day weekends is not enough:mad:

Oh the joys of working for yourself

I have heard that the NHS has a free download and that it gets you to run 5k by the end of the month...only trouble is friend hasn't got Ipod but I could download it and can put into practice what it tells us....:)

Glad that the puppy is insured. When my rottie was ill, £4k cover went no where.:(

Hope you have an enjoyable weekend kicking off with the show tonight....sounds like you have plenty planned
