    Hugs from me again too xx

    It helps a bit when you have more than one fur baby, I can't begin to imagine how empty the house would feel if you only had the one and lost it :(

    Conservatory is mostly done.
    It hurts so much to hoover even for a short time but I got it done.
    Vet bills have been horrendous this last week & I have had extra physio. The coffers are empty & the cupboards are just about bare.
    I am very lucky though in that I have a lovely family & friends including my lovely friends here :) xx

    I hadn’t realised J was 14 - I had it in my mind you’d taken them on as youngsters.
    After we took our dog to the vets for the final time, I really, really resented parting with the cash and having just ‘emptiness’ to show for it.

    In better news I have had my hair cut & coloured at the hairdresser today.
    What a difference it has made.
    It was booked before the vet bills of the last week & did think about cancelling it.
    Anyway it is done :D
