Thanks Beanie x
So I knew yesterday was going to be bad but I didn't realise quite how badly affected we'd all be. I cried most of the day and have had a fair few wobbles today as well. The vet was lovely and it was a peaceful ending but even soI know people bring their pets home to bury or collect their ashes but none of us wanted to do that. Instead we came home with his paw print, collar and favourite toy.
Tomorrow is the start of a new week for money so I'll do a quick update then. Hope you've all had a good day. xx1 -
Afternoon
Day 8/31, Prolific £7.64 cleared, £2.50 outstanding, Week 2 spends £30
There was just over £10 left from last week's spends so I've added £5 to savings, £5 to Christmas and put the odd few pence in charity. This means pots at week 2 look like this
Savings: £175DS Savings: £80
Dogs: £40
Hair: £30
Christmas: £175
Birthdays: £90
Paypal: £52.86
The vet bill was just over £111 and I took this from the car/household savings. There will also be some uniform money that needs to be taken out of here in the next couple of weeks. No major spends planned for this week although I am having my hair cut but the cost of that is covered and I could do with a couple of new t-shirt type tops, but plenty in my savings pot for those if I find any. Weather is gorgeous today. Hope you're all enjoying it. xx

LABMUM said:Pots are looking good Tea xx
Thanks LABMUMI'm not far off what I need for my share of Christmas, not that I need to save anything at all - it's definitely a self inflicted share but it doesn't half come in handy lol. Just realised I also have enough money in the dog pot without having to add any more next month, which has brought yet another lump to my throat
