    Thanks abba1772, we are trying to hand feed him as much as possible but it's hard with working full time, just hope it puts him to a place where he can start to eat on his own.

    Only time will tell, Its never easy as you get attached to pets.

    Quick update :)

    No spend weekend for me this weekend, and I made a killing on eBay £30 in profit :) just shows its not worth binning everything.

    I am aiming for as many no spend days as possible this week and it's payday Friday :) yay. This is the first month of having everything consolidated into one loan, so my aim is to save like crazy to make some chunky overpayments to the loan :)

    Still have a poorly guinea pig :( but bless him he is hanging on for dear life literally, so we have him on some oxbow critical care and plenty of water to try to get him eating himself again, even if it doesn't work at least we have done everything we can for him!
    I miss him squeezing like crazy when I go in the kitchen and open the fridge. His quality of life is terrible at the moment, but I'm not willing to give up without trying oxbow first.

    Anyway until tomorrow.... X

    P.s also forgot to say I have managed 1 week smoke free even with all of this going on. This is my final time of quitting, I'm so done with smoking and smelling horrible, not to mention the cost of smoking...... !

    Hey Hun, sorry to hear little Fudgie is no better. Hope he improves on the oxbow. Piggies have such a character haven't they? Mine were so vocal. As soon as they heard me, or if I rattled the food pot they would go mad. I miss my little piggies..... :0(

    Well done on not smoking though, bet you were tempted with the stress. And fab news on eBay, you've spurred me on, I'm gonna list some of my stuff!

    Keep us posted xx

    i had to have him put down, he had more wrong with him than we knew and it was not fair to make him carry on and suffer.

    i am absolutely devasted, but i still havent smoked.

    Just reading through your diary - sorry to hear about Fudge!

    You are doing well though :)
