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 evening

    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.
  • 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.

    Suseka,

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

    Hope you will see her soon for lots of strokes and cuddles.

    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, thanks

    They do don't they :) Pebbles has been with us for 14 years and it feels very odd her not being here -but my DD loves her to bits and will take very good care.

    Thanks AB - these messages mean a lot to me and have lifted my spirits :) I'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.

    Have a good Sunday
