Berry Bear says hi, but Noela is a bit busy chewing her frisbie ♥

Kittikins

What gorgeous dogs! They look so soft and cuddly.... Morning all! I'm reading through your lovely diary and getting good ideas for savings, thank you!

OMG. how did I miss this? Noella and Berry Bear are on my thread. How cool is that? They are really gentle dogs. My little friend has been so well behaved. She just sleeps. She loves looking at herself in the mirror!

I am going to be good this month and not spend any more money than I have to. Strictly no ebay. Please let me stick to this as I am feeling the pinch. Kittikins and Susan and Skint Yet Again you have to help me to not spend money.

I am cooking some pork chops.

aw 3Dogs your Berry Bear and Noela are lovely


Glad your dog sitting went well SW


Right SW - no buying !! how about keeping a list of each ebay purchase you don't make and see how much money you save !!

savingwannabe

That's a good idea. I saved £21 already.:o

Oh the irony. I am soooo embarrassed. I cannot spend any more.

Skint_yet_Again

No need to be embarrassed we are all in the same boat
£21 is a great saving so far !

Kittikins

Well done! Saving £21 is fab

I keep on looking at a necklace I really don't need on the Debenhams website - it's only £4.80 and is lush, but:
1. I have a million necklaces
2. I rarely wear them as I have a dodgy neck and it even a thin silver chain can give me a neckache at times
3. I'm going to need to start wearing my ID lanyard at school (new head, new rules, new probability of Of***d in the first term) and so it would clash with a necklace....

On the other hand

1. I want it!
2. It's under £5, down about 80% on the original price
3. It's pretty
4. I don't have many necklaces with blue in them....

Hmm, I know what I need to do. Stay away from the website....the sale must surely end soon?!?!?!

savingwannabe

Oh God she's one of us for sure.:beer: Lol. I want it now!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Kittikins can't you ask mummykins to get it for your birthday (if you haven't already had your birthday this year) or Christmas and put it away for you ?

Thank you Kittikins and Skint yet Again. They are both Romanian dogs, rescued from the streets of Bucharest by a wonderful lady. I only take in older dogs now, with health problems or behavioural problems. Berry Bear has old injuries to his front legs (elbow dysplasia) and had stage 3 heartworm before he came over. He needed three months of an arsenic treatment before he could travel. I got him May 2014. Six months later he is diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, and six months after that developed Canine Behaviour Syndrome (doggie dementia). So he has needed lots of vet treatment and medication but plods along. He won't let me out of his sight, bless him

Noela, the white one, was severely traumatised by her life on the streets and her treatment in a notorious kill shelter after the dog catchers picked her up off the streets. When she came to me in February 2015, she used to hide anywhere she could but I haven't put any pressure on her at all, and she has come along a treat. She responds to me, greeting me when I come back in the house and goes crackers when I pick them up from boarding when I've been away. She still hides when other people are around though

Berry is about 12 and Noela 11 and they are living their lives out in a safe loving environment after their previous hard lives
