Hurrah for the 5 lbs :j ( but boo for giving it to me!)
Dog walker/ sitter/ doggy day care is a great idea.

with all the extra walking I've lost 5lbs :j

Bonus! :j

Although not so good to hear that Mr FS will be away for much of the remainder of the year

I don't blame you for having a lazy day - does us all good to do that once in a while, imo

I have too many lazy days!

Hope you find someone Fortune. I think you're right to want reviews. When my brother and his wife were out all day and got a puppy, they left him with a sitter during the day, but now they think the sitter has created some behavioural problems for him. What about the vet that you're using for him? Do they have recommendations? When I had my cats, the elder one got diabetes, and I couldn't ask a catsitting service to do the injections (when I was on holiday), so I paid a nurse at the practice to do the catsitting and the injections, it was a really good arrangement.

That's a brilliant idea Karma - I'll ask them. Thank you

I am feeling refreshed after my lazy day so perhaps it was needed. Maybe you can never have too many :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

An absence from my diary usually results in a lack of focus. However, I'm happy to say I am bucking the trend My mind is firmly on money and the saving and spending thereof:

• all necessary purchases have been carefully considered and researched to get best value
• cashback sites used where available
• vouchers exchanged
• budgets maintained or savings made
• 2 sale items listed each day...

...can you see my halo shining :A

It seems the less money I have, the better I get at managing it :rotfl:

In FDawg news, he seems to be settling into a routine and is a much happier pooch than the one we first bought home. There's still a long way to go and I'm looking forward to our session with the dog trainer. Still no luck with a sitter though

Mr F and I have a day of lifting and shifting to look forward to tomorrow. We have to clear the outbuilding ready for work to start. I'm hoping to discover some more Bay of E items as my listings are going well at the moment. I've managed to put us back in the black for this month from the proceeds :T

Mr F leaves for a long trip on Sunday so I have been planning some projects to keep me occupied in his absence. I bought some bar stools for the kitchen from a charity shop recently and want to freshen them up with some chalk paint so that will do for a start. My kitchen has oak units and black and cream tiles and I think it needs a splash of colour. I'm thinking Autentico's Green Tea :cool:

I may be taking to my bed soon. I had the flu jab yesterday and it always wipes me out for a couple of days. I went to bed at 7.00 pm last night :rotfl: I'm such a wimp.

Hope everyone is well. Night, night.

Blimey.
I was just thinking about you.
Glad all is well & dog settling in.
Hope you get a sitter soon & the training goes well.

Would the trainer know of a dog sitter?
