    You have definitely all had a lot to deal with.  It sometimes feels like when you're low, life will come along and kick you some more.  Glad you are all feeling a bit yourselves again.  

    ps not sure what food you are buying Chloe.  My cat will not eat the jelly stuff, it has to be in gravy and with fish.

    So sorry - you have had A LOT to deal with and the grief on top of the job and life stuff inevitably takes it out of you.  You have done so well coping but of course there will be times like that.   Hugs xx
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
