  • It's very fortunate he managed not to poop in the car! My old dog used to poop in the car boot all the time. It was a nightmare! Hope it's just something he's eaten that he shouldn't have and he's back to solids soon!

    He has been a lot better today thanks. Still not 100% back to normal but well on the mend.

    No idea what has upset him this time. No doubt he has snaffled something disgusting.

    They are absolute masters at managing to find things to scoff when your back’s turned aren’t they - glad he’s getting back to normal, he looks like such a little character!

    £125 sent to the Paypal Credit account this morning. It will be a no spends day other than this.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is roast pheasant, tortellini and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • vacuuming the house
    • dusting the house
    • walking the dog
    It will be the last payment to the Paypal Credit account next month which will see that account cleared. I don't think I will close this one down. It might come in handy at some point if we make any bigger purchases from Ebay.

    You have my sympathy on cleaning jobs his evening, I can't do all my bathrooms at once, it demotivates me, so I do one each day and have Friday off!

    Getting closer to beginning the debt with a 2 - brilliant stuff. 

    Our dog is an absolute terror at finding disgusting things, often decaying food, and making himself unwell. He never learns though!

    To be fair a couple of our bathrooms don't get used unless we have guests so they only need a quick wipe round. It's the en-suite that gets the most use and ends up the most dirty. The other half will run the vacuum round while I do the bathrooms so shouldn't take too long.

    Looking forward to getting Paypal and Card 5 cleared off in the next couple of months. Will tidy repayments up a bit.

    Glad your dog is feeling better, I wonder what he'd managed to snaffle. Great to see the balances going down and savings going up. Roast pheasant for dinner is a tad posh for a Thursday 😆
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
