Glad Max is back home, hopefully he'll be back on all four paws real soon. It's such a worry with the furballs isn't it ... almost as bad as with a child. Still, I wouldn't be without mine for a moment.
Good news that the Princess is brighter & back to playing today, must be a relief.
Hang on in there, they may be small improvements but at least they're steady.

Thank you. Max is on the mend eating and drinking well, but still lethargic and sleepy. Needs lots of cuddles and fuss.
My princess is better thankfully, and back to her happy self.

Haybel glad your DD is feeling better I have never known worry the same as since we had our little girl and when she is ill, especially as they can't tell you what is wrong. You are doing fantastic with your comps etc, and have motivated me to look more on cash back sites as I do lots of ordering on line.

Max is much better thanks, bit tired out but eating and drinking well and back to his happy self...sprawled in his bed at the moment after a hard day looking after us all...
Princess having a bad day teething... just in case you all think her name is actually princess :rotfl:her real name is Tilly-Mae, but she is my little princess.
I know what you mean about the worry- yummymummy... its never ending!
Re cashback sites I even check between topcashback and quidco to see which has best offers/cashback before I buy as find it varies...
really need to get on board with the quidco buy certain products with your online grocery shop for extra cashback (only if buying anyway)... havent really looked at it properly yet...
After doing my online shop at asda this week (5.50 cashback delivery 4.50 so still pound up plus fuel) did the price guarantee and got a voucher for 67p must remember to keep doing these whereever i do the shop all adds up
had a lovely facial today, with vouchers from christmas took advantage of buy one get one free offer so this was the freebie...Make £10 a day challenge November £125.60/310

Thanks greyhoundangel not as impressive as your earnings tho... how did you/do you do it?
Princess teething and cries if mummy stops cuddling so we are having snuggly cuddles in my bed (in the dark to encourage sleep) and i have laptop on so i don't drop off... We have larry the lamb and freddie the fire fly with us :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:its a good job daddy works nights there really is no more room at the inn... :rotfl:

Haybel ... it could be worse .... the Furball could be in there as well :rotfl:
One of mine is a real madam for that ... sneaks on the bed once she knows everyone else is asleep ... I wake up with dead legs, cos she's got half her body strewn across them :eek: Mind you, she does make a fab hot water bottle when I'm feeling a bit yak
As for the earnings ... not quite sure how I've even managed that much to be honest ... it's made up of lots of little things, which when all added up ... becomes a useful amount :cool:
It's been a combination of the odd scratchcard win (£10 here & there), Mobile App payments, survey payments, little cashback payments, mys/shops, oh and i counted my Clubcard vouchers - lots of little bits really.

Had a medical today due to my rheumatoid arthritis and anxiety/OCD... bit fed up hate being reminded that i have limitations...
Just fed princess-she is finding it hard to settle...sore gums... so we are laying in my bed in the dark having a cuddle. She is all cosy in her sleepsack and we have her star light projector and music on. Very relaxing.
Max is snuggled in his bed with even more blankets tonight as its cold including his favourite big brown fleece-(it used to be mine and is huge but when he was poorly once i let him 'borrow' it to comfort him and i never got it back :rotfl:). He gave Tilly-Mae and I our goodnight kisses first then snuggled down even though he didnt seem convinced it was bedtime.
Once princess settled I will sneak down and give him a big cuddle. He is such a good boy.Make £10 a day challenge November £125.60/310

Aww, bless.... why is it they're always at their sweetest when they sleep ? :rotfl:
Yes, low lights & music work well - in my case it's usually firelight ..... relaxing music ...... and wine ....
works for me 
Arthritis is a pain - in more ways than one! - I have it in both knees ... cold & wet wreck havoc with them, wind up walking around (just about) looking like one of those zombies from a really bad movie ... all stiff legged :rotfl:
An old friend of mine used to suffer from OCD/Anxiety, it such a difficult illness to judge. She used to go days, weeks even sometimes with it "under control" then next moment she was a wreck - no seeming reason and no warning. It must be difficult for you.
Good to see you've signed up for March's £10 a Day Challenge - especially as we're adopting your little game !
Hang on in there hun :A
