    They're doing a Hallowe'en trail in my area too. Although I love to see the kids all dressed up and I don't mind giving out sweets, it will be a relief this year not to have them knocking at my door, it drives the dog nuts. 

    I keep meaning to ask how is B doing? Did the vet get to the bottom of what was wrong with her?

    Hope today is a good one x

    You really do seem to be on the mend! I'm glad you aren't yet back to work though because you need that recovery time.

    Glad that you have the Christmas fund sorted and your emergency fund. I am sure the flooring fund will start to come back up again once Christmas is out of the way. 
    How did getting up a little earlier work out? x
    It's a relief knowing it's there in the bank ready to go 😊 I got up on time even though I couldn't sleep again last night,I think I fell asleep at about 5am 😟

    B had a tumour on her spleen, they removed her spleen and the tumour which turned out to be benign thank god

    Went to bed last night and laid awake until 5am 😡I slept until my alarm went off at 10.30 then got up. I haven't done much today apart from another load of washing, sorted the 🐓🐓 and walked B. I had a quick tidy round but that was all. It's been chucking it down on and off all day so a bit miserable, me and B got caught in a heavy downpour and had to hide under a tree 🙀 I have eaten again today and feel ok but still can't taste anything, we had a Feta and Sweet Red Onion Pizza and garlic bread from M&S for tea but I couldn't taste any of it, DD said it tasted nice though 😊
    My drama programme is on in a bit so I'm off to watch that shortly

  • Great to hear you are feeling marginally better this week and are getting out and about doing things. I bet B is glad to be out for walks again and good news on the tumour. Sounds like financials are on the up again. Are you having DGS tomorrow or is to soon for you ? 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    Thanks sunshine, I'm not having him for tomorrow or next week, I'm signed off work this week so it would be a bit cheeky to look after him instead and I thought that seeing as next week is my first week back at work I had better see how it goes before I commit to having him because I don't want to let her down at the last minute. So the plan is to start looking after him again the week after that, he had his first haircut today, I saw a photo and he doesn't look like a baby now 😊

    Do you know how long your sense of taste will be missing for?
