Hi everyone, well done Borollan on resisting temptation, I’m very impressed.

Hope you feel better soon too Delta13 and Wishus and yayyy to getting to target Cathybird.

Well your not going to believe it but I’ve chalked up NSD #14!!!! So chuffed with myself. Planned spendy day tomorrow as I’m taking my friend out for tea, going to put petrol in the car too.

Have a great week everyone xxx

Morning all! Hope this rather drizzly Tuesday finds everyone well. I'm going for NSD 16 today but with the car MOT still hanging over my head! I need to ring the garage and find out when they can fit me in.

Morning all - don't think I've updated since Friday - oops! Friday just budgeted grocery spends so that was 1, Saturday and Sunday I did manage to spend on a couple of household bits I've needed for a while so no NSD's there. Technically Monday was a NSD but I know I'll be getting a big bill in the next day or two for vet treatment for my geriatric puss who is on her last legs

She's currently at the vet hospital (since last night) on a drip as she is dehydrated, not eating and is very wonky on her back legs. She's 14 and a half and was diagnosed with kidney disease in the spring so is doing well, but I know she can't keep going forever. She only weighs 2.1kg at the moment (she's always been a small cat, but in her prime was around 3.5kg). The pet insurance will cover a chunk of it, but I'll have at least a couple of hundred to cover when the bill comes in. Poor old girl, the house felt so empty without her last night

Anyway, I think that brings me to 18/15. I can still make 20 subject to no other emergencies cropping up!

So sorry to read this.
My best boy is 19 1/2 and also has kidney disease.
He currently weighs about 3.6 kg which is his lowest.

It's awful watching them get old isn't it? How long has your boy had kidney disease? I know they can keep going for a long time, but poor Jones (strange name I know!) seems to have gone downhill so fast

I'm so sorry to hear this, shopaholicnumber1 - hope things work out all right for your cat - it's just so hard when pets fall ill xx I hope she'll be okay.

About May. Still at stage 1.
I lost one of my rescues at the same time. .
It’s horrid.

Bless him - he's doing well. Jones was poorly from about February and was diagnosed early April, so fairly similar. I hope your boy keeps going - he's a grand old age!

Thanks cathybird. No news from vet - which I'm assuming is good Makes you appreciate the emergency fund!
