I want a summer house.....I want a nice comfy retro arm chair in there with rugs and plants, a CD player with my favourite music, a couple of cosy crochet blankets, a stack of books and maybe a kitten or three.

I was in awe of your tax refund and even the lower figure is impressive. That'll pay for a kitten or two, and a summerhouse.
My OH has a similar dentists bill over the next few weeks. As he says, it hurts and it hurts

I just want to give you a massive cuddle - you sound so run down and fed up. I get like that sometimes and it's not sustainable for a long time as you and I both know. I really hope that you're on the up soon.
Thank you,xxx, hope you aren't dreading tomorrow as much as me

How odd not to want bunting, once the rabbit house is done, they are having bunting!!redofromstart wrote: »I was in awe of your tax refund and even the lower figure is impressive. That'll pay for a kitten or two, and a summerhouse.

I thought I quoted Savingholmes, re Denplan, You OH is right Red, it hurts all ways! I need to ring tomorrow for another appointment. Have to take all the animals to the vets as well. hmmm.
Your replies have perked me up a bit, I am feeling pretty low, felt low for a while now. I am ok with work tomorrow really, will keep me busy and next weekend I want to clear the garden of rubbish and have a general tidy up. It would be nice to see my friends but I am losing touch with a lot, one friend in particular who I was meant to see, but BIL has been so ill this week, so ill I didn't want to risk not being about. I think she was quite upset.
It has been 8 months now so I guess it is understandable, but it is a bit of a blow.
Still, BIL should be out of hospital in about a month.

Hang in there. A month will fly in and having him home will hopefully ease the pressure on everyone. Why not let your friends know this and start scheduling for 6 weeks time?June 2026, Mortgage free, Emergency fund fully funded & £200/200 cash maximum pb holding .:jWeight 12st challenge 11st 2lb

That is a good point, regarding the scheduling..... I will message my closest friends - they all have kids and are sods to pin down at the best of times!

£471 for rabbits dental????? Jeeeeez. Is that a regular thing? In all the years I!!!8217;ve owned cats I!!!8217;ve not paid that for all their combined dental work.
I did however spend £80 on parrot food and toys this week...pesky pets!"Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0
