Bit of a sad day really

Home alone (OH is helping out a friend for a little extra cash - which is good) and my daughter has just taken my eldest cat (Pebbles) off to live with her.
Not sure how I feel about that - I still have three fluffies at home, and Pebbles was my daughter's cat when she was little. Always agreed that when the time came and she had a home of her own, she would take Pebbles... but now the moment is here, I feel quite sad.
How daft - eh, when she lives only about 10 mins away and I'll see her every time I visit, but it just feels a bit odd.
Oh well - on the positive side, that will give me a little saving on pet insurance. Every penny counts.

I hope you are Ok you have given me so much support hopefully I can give some back. As you say you can go and visit her...we have a 8 year old silver persian that we have had since birth Tilly hair everywhere but the kids love her.
I have got home hugged the wife and kids, may take them for a cheap meal in local premier inn normally eat as much as you can, as we have spent less this week shopping and no one has had anything today
feel a little better trying to block debt out for rest of day...
Though I had an interesting chat for a second opinion with an IP company who suggest that the length of my DMP is concerning 12 years and have suggested that I may be able to use the 10k as a F&F IVA and be debt free within two months. Also said it was technically wrong Was not a sales thing she is highly recommended and seen on here also. Told IVA does not effect my qualification but I am unsure SC have also suggested it but again tomorrow i may look at it more today family time.
Anyway have a good evening0 -
Hi Suseka,
Hope you're feeling a bit better now. I guess this is not something you need when you're struggling with the DMP problems. I hope Pebbles is happy in her new home and that you get to see her often.0 -
Hi Suseka - I didn't want to read and run. Hugs to you my dear. The smallest things mean the most, that's why life is so precious. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you.

Big hugs to you my dear. My cat is 16 years old and I love her dearly.

True. I need to keep other aspects of my live 'normal' (or whatever that is) and this kinda threw me - more than I expected it would. But I'm better today, thanksNewyorkdreams wrote: »Hi Suseka - I didn't want to read and run. Hugs to you my dear. The smallest things mean the most, that's why life is so precious.

Thanks AB - these messages mean a lot to me and have lifted my spiritsI've three other cats -all from the same litter, who are 6 years old now. They are a little spooked at the moment - missing big Mama cat. But they'll settle - as cats do.

Hi Ox,
You sound a little happier and a little more in control -which is lovely to see
Thanks for this - it's daft really, but it's the small things that are getting to me.
Anyhow - I'm much better today and I hope we get the sun and temperature we were promised, so I can get out for a stroll.
