    Hi guys, just a quick visit - not been online at all since my last visit which seems to have been the 12th .... not like me at all.

    Also, haven't left the house so have now managed to get my 15 NSDs .... but a bit lame when I actually haven't physically been able to spend so not setting a new target for the rest of the month.

    Have had a very quick read through, too many things to remember (brain is mush as you will see iam) but get well everyone under the weather.

    Thanks for all the wishes about wee cat - I did indeed find her relatively easy that night but then really lost her a couple of nights later. Was on my way to bed and thought .... mmmmmm haven't seen her for ages ..... she didn't arrive for tea (usually pelts in as soon as she hears a tin opening!) .... hunted the house and .... no wee cat.

    Opened the back door and one very p'd off wee cat came flying in :o goodness knows when she'd gone out but it'd been at least 6 hours since I'd had the door open (bear in mind she's the one that usually stays out a max of 1/2 hour in the day & never when it's dark) ..... I am a bad mommy!:o:o

    DM has taken Maisie to stay with her for a while as she's a big energetic dog who needs proper exercise and attention / stimulation every day, none of which I can give her atm so she's better off there until I'm better.

    The house is quiet tho':eek: strange it just being me & the cats again & actually bring back quite horrid memories as it's coming up to the 1st anniversary of losing Ben....

    Sorry, depressing post - not intended, part of this beeping illness. Have Hosp Appt tomorrow so hoping to get some meds that'll help.

    Good evening folks from a very cold and wet NI:eek:

    It has been a crazy few days at work and the gym etc, which may explain my absence:o
    I had a spend day on Monday, as I bought some Christmas gift bags at an excellent price:D
    Tuesday and Wednesday were NSDs11&12 though:)
    Spoony, in answer to your question about the hangover, I'm pretty sure it was the last glass that did the damage and not the last bottle, although there was a last bottle.........;)
    I hope everyone is well and am sending hugs to anyone who needs them.:)
    If you've nothing decent to say, perhaps you shouldn't say anything.

    £2 savings jar £300:D
    Total credit card debts £1250:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: - Will I ever learn!!
