    I think it is the stopping of everything. I fell asleep this afternoon, I only went shopping for the family (still working on the ability to say no there) and am neglecting the whole being worried about everything - just too tired. I love this bit between Christmas and New year, so still. Also I have that new year feeling - which I know is !!!!!!!! really but I love it I feel like you get to leave all the !!!! behind. Plus this coming week is about the tip, the charity shop and getting rid.

    Must look at my bank. I have no plans for the new year and no plans to spend any money aside from petrol (I can't decide if new car uses a lot or if I just like driving it more so am using more) so I should be ok for the next 4 weeks.

    Bit worried about the dog :(

    Dog is being really weird. I will try and get him to the vets - tho I took him last week and they couldn't see anything wrong. He won't come into the living room or go out in the garden (without a lead - if I put the lead on he goes out - I don't even have to be holding it?!?!) He sits in the hall and shakes or rather trembles. We think he has hurt his leg (tho all normal at the vets) The last couple of nights I have picked him up and carried him to the sofa to sit with him. He doesn't shake then. He is currently asleep and fine. I don't know what to say to the vets.

    I really came back to say I have joined some challenges. Debt removal needs to be my focus for the first 6 months of 2019.

    1. £1 a day for Christmas
    2. 1% challenge
    3. Frugal Challenge
    4. There was another one I am sure.

    hmm. Too many Snowballs........
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Maybe the dog was just spooked at something.

    I joined the 1 debt vs 100 days challenge. I do love a good challenge :)

    How old is your dog, is he old enough for it to be the start of dementia? Hopefully it's not though, dogs behave weirdly sometimes. Is he a breed prone to being highly strung?

    He is 6.. He just jumped off the sofa as if nothing is wrong but has been so odd all day. Went out fine this morning, but when we got back wouldn't get on the sofa. I had to pick him up again!

    The universe is sending me some messages today. Only have one life, time is short. Ex pupil finished uni and being engaged. Never been engaged.

    Anyhow, got to empty the dishwasher and feed the dogs (the two aren't connected!

    Actually my darling dog is 7. Currently asleep wedged up next to me. Like a hot water bottle. Am sweating! But love him so don't mind really.

    Current debt is 4980- paid off a whole £20!

    I have the dentist again tomorrow (!) for a filling, she is checking it for free - she is very good, she thinks it is discoloured. I am horrendous, I never know what she has or hasn't done.

    anyhow then it is on with conservatory tidying.
