As to reading mine all the way through - nooooooooooooo! :rotfl: It's not really a conventional debt or even mortgage free diary thread - it mostly just follows my low-cost interests, so its a bit weird but I appreciate the thought :j

That's why it's such a lovely place to visit and a joy to read, KC:j. A real tonic sometimes on a bad day:T

Unlike a lot of debt-busting threads (and yours isn't one of those anyway) it's not at all doom and gloomish (apart from the occasional reappearance of the dreaded mould;)) . It's a bit like Forrest Gump's box of chocolates, we never know what we're going to get on here:rotfl:. you seem to attract some of the most interesting posters on MSE:T

I wouldn't say weird.... more eclectic


There's something here for most people and I've picked up all sorts of snippets of information here

My mum had one of those microchip cat flaps & it never ever worked properly.
I have one that my boy has something on his collar to activate it but have still had the very odd problem a while back with other cats coming in.
The joys of our furry friends :rotfl:
My boy likes a bit of vet bed to lol on now and then. So easy to wash & dries so quickly.

You can also buy it on a roll.

Well I confess I know little about cats We always had them when I was little - they used to sleep in the shed :rotfl: had a litter tray and a bed in there but it wasn't exactly palatial I found one of them dead in there when I was a teenager (shhe was old!!) My mum wasn't too sentimental about such things although she's a bit of a softy now - the later two (who were rescued at 5 weeks old after being dumped on the vet's doorstep) were rather spoiled with one of those radiator bed thingies

All long gone now, and my mum'squite enjoying her no-pet freedom after all these years :rotfl: She's even replaced the living room carpet now there's nothing to tear it up again :rotfl:
S
o no cat-related advice from me, sorry

But exciting about only having 41 weeks left!! :j :j that doesn't feel like long at all! I'm sure I remember whe it was 84! :j good idea to avoid burnout too :j

What lovely feedback about the thread thank you all so much :beer: I think we need some :bdaycake: and some :coffee::coffee::coffee: after that, caff or decaff, as you like

I'm going to watch out for the radiator thing and the microchip cat flap ... so far it seems to be a case of going with what's on offer at any one affiliate scheme - PetPlanet, that CBC mentioned, uses a company called Webgains to manage their affiliates - so I think its a case of join one central affiliate place at a time, and see what each has got to offer... Gives me some great ideas though, thank you all :kisses3:

Cheery - thats right, I *did* begin the countdown up in those numbers - horrendous :rotfl: I appreciate you don't have product info, but I absolutely love your cat stories (well, except finding one dead :eek:) ... they're tough, CBC's is a rabbiter. Whereas mine never killed anything bigger than a moth, and even those big spiders were beyond them :rotfl:

I've been watching that pottery programme on the Beeb, via iplayer - not for Demi Moore in Ghost :rotfl: but because of the creativity and because my first fiance was a member of a pottery family and it was just around all the time.
Not sure how I segued into the above little paragraph - I suppose I was downloading ep 3 today and it stuck in my brain all sorts of stuff gets stuck in there ...

Mind you, I've also been sorting paperwork like crazy, its gone mad this year, hidden in all sorts of cubby holes - I've got to start all over again to find out where everything is for the tax, for the pension, for new accounts and loans - can't do any of that without knowing what I've got...

50 points for a yougov survey...

Oh, and I have an official diagnosis from the NHS of burnout, which is why my retirement is set in stone. I fully expect that when I retire, my energy levels will return to pre-burnout times, in an age-appropriate way of course at which time my writing career will move into fiction, like Rachel Abbott: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rachel-Abbott/e/B0068FBVCW/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_19?qid=1447921349&sr=1-19

:j:j:j

At which point I will buy a camper van with satellite uplink and pootle about the continent

Cheery_Daff

Good luck finding your paperwork! Love your last sentence about your camper van and pootling round Europe :j :j

I'd love to be good at pottery (I wrote 'pottering' then - I'm plenty good at that! :rotfl: ) The only time I've really tried is at school, we used a kind of coil method to make what was meant to be a kind of hip flask... :rotfl: Mine's absolutely enormous, completely useless for anything, ugly and won't stand up, but I can't bring myself to get rid of it :rotfl:

Right, I'm Doing Admin ...

So, I read that as 'at which time my wrestling career will move'. Seemed to make perfect sense somehow :rotfl:.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I was very physical as a teenager, it's true ... but that was ballet, dontcha know

Am wrestling (geddit? ) with flow charts at the mo, and have discovered yet more tax-type paperwork in my inbox, of all places :eek: I mean really, why put it there? Daft
