So, needless to say its been a horrid few days.:(
However I need to think positively now, Mum is out of hospital, came home last night, not without drama, but she is home.:)
The sun is shining today and we had dog class with our older dog, he did brilliantly and we got some great advice from the trainer, he told us we must not blame ourselves and explained that when he visited us he had his doubts that the dogs would ever get on again.
This had made me feel a little better, like we really did the right thing.
I have heard from the charity where the other dog was taken and they have said they are trying to find him place with the Dogs Trust, they have a non distruction policy and have behaviourists that can work with him. So fingers crossed something will work out for him.
As for money and chores this week, well understandbly its all gone to pot! Not sure I will get a lot done this weekend, but hay, Monday is a new week, perhaps I should use it as my New Year and start over:o.
Thank you once again for all your sympathy. It means so much to me :A

We have been for a lovely walk in the sunshine with doggy, Mum is improving and I have done my tax return!!! I owed a whole £6.60:eek::rotfl:
Not much house work or ironing done (read that as NONE!) but theres always tomorrow for that:o
Tomorrow I have a couple of mystery shops, loads of things to return to various shops for refunds and some advertising to do!

Woop woo, I have done some ironing, only 10 items, but it is some!
I have written to the dog insurance to hopefully cancel 2nd doggies insurance, I have a feeling they will say tough luck and we will have to pay the rest of the year.....but its worth a try:(
I need to write a letter the coach company to try and get a refund on the £37 charge they gave us for getting an earlier coach from Gatwick:mad:
I have returned more items that I bought on line (I spend when I'm feeling down - at least shopping, by the time it comes the 'downess' has hopefully passed and items can be returned without to much damage to the credit card)
Mum is getting better day by day, which is the best news ever:j

No news officially fron the insurance company, but loggin on to my bank account it looks like they have cancelled the DD, so fngers crossed.
I know I have been missing for more than a week, but I have been VERY productive! The 'de-clutterin' is going very well, I have sold loads of 'stuff' on Face book, very pleased, gaining money whilst loosing clutter:rotfl:

We had a lovely letter from the insurance company today, confirming they would cancel our pet policy and sending their condolences that the dog is no longer with us...go: MORE THAN; I am impressed!:)
Went to doggy class with the other monster today....was good at agility but rubbish at obedience..and it rained on us; BIG time:(
Sold another couple of items today and have listed more, I have to say it is very addictive........not sure what I will do when I run out of stuff...I would have thought that will be some time away mind you:o
Really need to get hubby to sort tools in garage as he has LOADS of stuff that he no longer uses, best get the house sorted first though:o
Alcohol intake is so so........ am having a few days in the week when I don't drink, but not as many as I should:o
On that note, I think I will escape....
