  • Well, today is looking like a sfd for me as well. I won't declare just yet as it's still early but I've been out and about and not spent anything.
    Went to the docs this morning, and he's decided that I'm not ready for work yet so signed me off for another fortnight. That will take me up to the summer hols... Hopefully I will have sorted my head out come September and can go back to a fresh start there.
    Then went to meet my mum at an outlet centre. She shopped - I window shopped. We almost went for an expensive luxury coffee, but they'd run out of sugar free hazelnut syrup, so I had a little hissy fit and had nothing (apart from a tantrum).
    Then came home to yellow sticker lunch of haddock and veg.
    Followed by a snooze in front of the telly.
    All I have left to do is to pick up ds from nursery. DD is sleeping at her friends straight from school.
    It's such a gorgeous day too - the type of day I'd love to sit in the garden with a glass of wine. Except I'm on the wagon so it'll have to be a nice orange juice or something.

    his missus, I know they are expensive but the feliway is an absolute godsend. We had Leo for 4 months before we got one, he wouldn't come up for strokes and was completely stressed all the time. A week of the feliway and he was scenting absolutely everything and giving us loads of love, completely different cat. In my opinion it was £35 well spent, so if the peppermint doesn't work give it a go. You can pick up 2nd hand diffusers on fleabay.

    I have a request to ask all you lovely yompers...my Dad has just paid off my sisters debts, she owed me £570 from a loan of £2500 from years ago. So I've just cleared and cancelled my overdraft (hurray one less creditor :dance::dance::dance:) May I be allowed a SFD if I go and spend the £1.50 in my purse on a celebratory icecream? If you say no then I won't, but I'm so excited at having one less. I was also a very good girl and paid the additional £420 straight to the credit card, so that's coming down as well :D I'm tots happy. Pretty please...

  • Get yourself away for an ice cream missus. That is fantastic news.

    Also, thanks for the info about the Feliway. My dad has just adopted a seriously shy rescue cat so wondering if that might be an option for him -I'm going to look into it now.

    Yay thanks :) I bought new for about £35, but on fleabay I can see they are about £10 for the diffuser (was most expensive bit). Going to use it when we move to the new house. Incidentally when they went on holiday to my parents it worked a little too well, the pair of them were so comfortable there after 2 days they were trying to escape.

    Now, what would be cheaper would be to catch the Tom that's bullying my lad and get his wotsits chopped off but I'm not sure that's legal :rotfl:

    Go on, have an ice cream - we'll not tell Kat ;)

    I had a solero and a bag of frazzles :D in the sunshine, sat outside the Welsh Assembly looking out over the harbour, lush! Going to miss the scenery when we move to Bristol. Although I will not miss "peter rabbit had a lalalalala" coming from the merry-go-mad

    Quick update as I'm off to bed. Don't think I would have stayed awake if the tennis had gone to 5 sets lol.

    SFD again today so think that makes 4 so far. Was planning on a SFD tomorrow as well but we need milk.

    Goodnight all
