Horses, debts and general mutterings

Baldybear

Good morning

Few ebay parcels sold yesterday, my practice of just keep re-listing over and over, taking full advantage of 100 free listing weekends, seems to be working and gradually people buy my carp :rotfl:One buyer has paid so £4.11 sent to Bcard this am.

My hossie has conjunctivitis, not taking any chances so have spoken to vet, hopefully they will send me drops, if not it means a call out, either way more pennies I dont have, hoping its just the drops, will find the money somehow.

My oven door handle broke last night too :cool: looks like can be fixed with superglue, OH has some so will bring up at weekend and improvise till then, so hopefully not any more pennies to be spent

There is a lot of it about apparently. I have ended up calling Vet out to one of mine. Her eye started off just running last Thursday and has got worse. I have been bathing with water and cold tea and keeping the fly mask on but yesterday it was just awful. In fact I have never seen anything like it. It was yuck! So vet coming out this evening.

It was yucky this morning, vets are posting me out some drops, hopefully should get tomorrow, only £25 odd to find, hope it works and dont need follow up call out from the vet. LAM hope your hossie is ok

Hope both your 4 legged friends are ok - I wonder if that's what my gild had (very mildly) the other week. They do keep us on our toes!

LAM2011

Its passed by flies so if you have a fly mask I'd get it on. Apparently quite bad this summer.

She is much happier this evening having had some drops in her eyes.

Vet said in future can get eye drops (saline solution type) and just drop a drop of that in.

DebtFree2012

You can make the saline solution yourself (depending how much drops are - might not be worth it). Good advice re mask.

Good morning

Even without drops eyes are better this morning, typical, but hopefully drops should arrive today and clear up pretty soon. Thanks for the advice re the saline solution, will remember for the future

£8.16 transferred to Bcard this am, small ebay sale and some money from cashback on bank a/c. Looking over the figures I have paid £329 of my Bcard since 1 July so month and a half, thats fab, just need to keep up the momentum now

Yep - my vet said 1 teaspoon salt to a pint of cooled boiled water

Glad your hossie is ok. Good news on Bcard - its coming down nicely.

Hossie is looking much better so worth my pennies for the eye drops.

Good long weekend, picked up parents from hols, was early so had half hour relaxation on the beach. Came home fixed oven door handle, hopefully will hold (OH used extra strong glue stuff), cut grass, tidied up house a bit. Saturday took advantage of good weather and gave hossie a good groom, cleared 3/4 of field of poo and random weeds, finally finished painting my fence , put back beds etc and re-laid gravel so looks great and no money spent. Need to get lots of plants as garden practically bare but that can wait but so pleased with progress. Am aiming to do bits to house to do up slowly, so its nice for me, with no or v minimum spending. Yesterday was a lazy day as bad girl pain, grr, OH was good and bought me a mountain of chocolate so that was lovely.

Money wise, mortgage out today so a step closer to owning house, minimum payment out to Bcard. Quidco paid out on my car insurance, yay, only been waiting since feb, £75 . Kept £25 back to pay the vet so dont ruin my budget and the rest sent to Bcard. Now stands at £5837, nearly in the £5,7's, getting there
