  • Thank you all for your kind words.

    Its been 3 weeks today since we lost her, I still ache for her, still miss her cwtches but its not quite so raw now...hope that makes sense :-(

    On a brighter note, I have done the maths....we owe the world £987.34 ..... however I have had a bit of a spending spree on anything and everything, so think the figure will stay stagnant for the next month

    Hope you are all ok.

    I'm so sorry, TPA :( Only just read the bad news, it is a horrible choice to have to make but you did what was best for her, and it sounds like you both had an amazing 14 years together. I know it doesn't make it any easier, but I hope you're feeling a little better and spending lots of time with your other furbabies :grouphug:

    Still amazed by your total! Hope you enjoyed your spending spree, you've done so well you deserve and can afford a splurge when you want one! :)

    Will be keeping a percentage in savings rather than pay it all off just yet.......our interest rate is still only 1.09% so the savings are outdoing this two fold.

    Thank you for all your support over the years, guys n gals

    Oh well done :T:T:T. Was worried an accidental holiday would get in the way :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
