Aw bless him 😍 He looks so cute but don’t tell him that or it’ll ruin his street cred 🤣

He has a fur coat - I suspect he's unimpressed because it's so warm at the  moment.  I'm not sure dogs EVER need extra coats in the UK, especially when sleeping inside.

You dont know our dog 🤣🤣🤣

He hates being cold. 

The cab of the van isn't as well insulated as the rest of the van and it is a cold spot. In April when we picked the van up we had a couple of cold nights when he jumped  up on our bed shivering. That isn't like him he waits to be told he can get up so he was really cold. We were not cold in bed so would have been overly hot had we left the heating on.

He won't need his pyjamas just yet but he will when we head up to Scotland in October!

He doesn't look impressed does he? When one of our cats died we bought a plug in heated mat for the cat left behind. It was cheaper than getting another cat for her to sleep with. She prefers being an only cat by the way. There wasn't even the merest suggestion of pining for her sister.....and she's very attached to the heated mat.

Fair enough - our English Springer Spaniel would love to live in a permanent snow-pile on the patio. He can't stand the current weather and is looking forward to a trip to Wensleydale (and the rain) in a few weeks....

So cute

Our car, house, clothes etc are always covered in hair with 3 dogs. We have just learned to live with it.

Delurking to say my dogs were very grateful of their Equafleeces when we camped one May. I think they are less bulky than the Dog Robe.

One of mine feels the cold too and sometimes needs a jumper on colder days.

£258 paid to Card 5 today. Other than that it will be a no spends day.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was cereals, the other half has taken his packed lunch to work, I am having stuffed mushroom for my lunch and dinner tonight is salmon wellington with vegetables.

Today's jobs include:

• working from home
• cleaning the bathrooms
• making the salmon wellington
• walking the dog x 2

A much quieter day in store today.

Right. We have started to make some progress towards getting some of these balances onto 0% cards. 

The other half has been approved for a money transfer card which will clear Card 3 and some towards Card 5 to reduce the balance of that card a bit.

The transfer fee is a little more than we would have liked at 4% but it will at least get some of the balance onto 0% for 12 months. So some progress at least. Every little helps.
