    Really sad day in our house. OH got up to find that one of our cats Miss F had died in her sleep. This was so sudden there was no indication yesterday that anything was wrong.

    We will so miss her spirit, love, cat kisses and purrs.

    Her brother knows something's wrong but not quite what :(:cry::cry::cry:

    Hello dear diary and readers

    I've had the case of the blues and apathy, although I have been reading diaries and threads I have not felt able to post.

    Well after an unexpected bout of norovirus on Monday - it's cleaned my system out throughly and now I feel new :rotfl:

    So on my agenda:

    1. Personal finances
    2. HM Gifts
    3. business
    4. Decluttering
    5. Knitting club/charity
    6. Groceries freezer, menu planning
    7. lent
    8. fitness
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    100 day challenge

    When I got the case of the blues I stopped the 100 challenge to pay a small amount off to my Halifax

    So Day 1. £5.50 + £5 the latter is to recognise I have not bought the latest Pr1m@ craft magazine

    SPC

    Just a small amount dividend of £1.36! ( from a 21st birthday gift - the dividends use to pay my car insurance :rotfl:)

    Owed to Joint Account

    Negotiated the last 4 years NI I paid from my pocket money account should have been joint expense, so this has been knocked off the amount owed. Reduced by £503.60 !

    Subscriptions

    Having read some thought provoking threads I have cancelled my magazine subscriptions Pr1m@ paid quarterly and W @ H paid annually, the latter was dec so will have this to end of year. However, it means if I am desperate for a magazine I can choose one of a variety. Hoping to wean myself off altogether - saving this year £60

    So my overall personal debt ( not joint that's significantly higher ) is £1186.99 ) this I am focused on to get rid ASAP
