    Oh & I did spend some money on me today.
    A friend has set up a wee venture doing nails & tans & things.
    Not had my nails done for about 10 years since I was a friends bridesmaid!

    Gray & purple :)

    Hope your girl cat is ok. Lumps here are usually to with fighting, particularly my fluffy friend who is totally crap at it but refuses to give up.

    This fluffy friend does not go out.
    She is a house cat, one of the rescues from last year.
    She does not fight in the house.

    I'm so pleased you had your nails done and you are starting a hair pot. That's a pot of money for getting your hair done not a pot full of hair :D
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 3501000
    Buffer fund 0/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/072025

    Ooh your nails sound fab :) Could you get your hair cut by a trainee to save money or get a Groupon deal?

    Fingers and everything else crossed the lump is nothing. When my dear departed old boy was 15 the vet found a lump in his stomach, said it was cancer, offered to operate for £1,500 :eek: Decided not to bother given his age, he went on for another 6 years, the lump just disappeared.
