Good news
I have a new kitty
We passed the homecheck this afternoon
Her name is Summer, she's 1yr old and we are picking her up at the end of September as we can't have her sooner due to us being away before then. And it won't be fair on her to come here and we disappear...
Here she is at her foster home...Mortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️

Hi everyone
Just letting you know that I'm signing off for some time, DH is quite poorly and I can't keep to any routine as he obviously comes first
I'll come back when he's better and that will hopefully be within the next 2 months
You'll probably see me on the thread titled "I have no money" lol - visit to CAB and housing office planned for end of Sept Gulp
