    Dear Diary and friends

    I am back from holiday and can honestly say I have the blues not helped by beloved elderly cat who kept me up all night - for two reasons I forgot to flea him before I went and he was riddled with them and in great discomfort. I’ve given them both the treatment and he is much happier today although not quite, he also was struggling to walk last night and this morning. He’s better now but still very drunk, I am afraid for tomorrow and the vets.

    Kitten arrives tonight, if I’m honest I am really reluctant but we made a commitment.

    Physically I feel like I have been through a hedge backwards, high levels of anxiety and that makes me spasm, just want to curl up underneath the duvet and not come out but I have so much to do.

    I was going up to London today for treatment, but that went to pot at 4am when I was wired and awake. Lost money and no opportunity to rebook this week.

    I really want to feel like dancing... the zero birthday is less than 7 days and I have so many blessings...... thinking about them isn’t helping.....

    Think I might find my fur bundle for a cuddle.....

    Thanks for being there to listen....#lifeofaspoonie #justwanttocry #perimenopause

    So sorry that things are so tough at the moment :(
    I would love a kitten when my best boy is no longer here but i would be frightened I trod on them so you are a better woman than me.

    Dear Diary and friends

    Life has been rather a roller coaster and I have missed you all. I am trying to put myself back on tracks.

    Last night we had a date, something I have been nagging my OH about for ages. We had a lovely meal, and went to the theatre.

    However, we are still in debt, and although I enjoyed the evening and it was great to be out and doing something lovely with him. It cost three figures and I just felt so guilty and ashamed as this could be going against our debt.
    To top it off we came back to a parking ticket. We had parked in out normal place on double yellow lines with our blue badge, both of us failing to acknowledge that this had become a temporary restricted area, for filming..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

    So, want to ue this diary again, to hold me accountable...

    On the plus side, about to go and do some bookkeeping and taking sept invoice in with me to be paid....

    More of a review and an update later......
