    Sounds like a chaotic day for you. I have the same problems with Mr SA as you do with Mr H, I was cleaning the bathroom floor first thing thanks to his latest unpleasant accident 🙁

After a better couple of days Mr H started going downhill again last night and this morning wasnt interested in food, literally staggered on his walk so with advice for trom the vet hewent to rainbow bridge where he is out of pain and at peace. Sorry thats all I can write tonight.

    Thank you all. It is going to bve hard especially after losing miss W earlier in the year and we are well aware that the little one is poorly and 16 years old. I have put all his food , tablets etc to go to our local pet shop on Monday who collect such things for a local rescue. I havent touched his toys, ball etc as I dont want to get rid of them until Mr L has come to terms with things a bit more . I have also cancelled his insurance which by chance the instalment is due to be paid on Monday. It may be taken but will be repaid.

    Other news I have opened a monthly ISA saver account for the loan money and will add the insurance paymet when I kow that is sorted. The interest rate is 5.25% which I thought is ok for an account I can withdraw money from instantly. I just cant replace the money but that is not a problem.

    It seems very quiet in the house although Mr H wasnt noisuy. I think there is just a presence missing and I dont have to keep stepping over hiim. He was a genius for being in the way. It will just be a matter of getter used to him not being here.

    Off now now as I can hear Mr L getting up and he will want the computer.

    Thank you jwil.

    It never rains but it pours . The little one is unwell. She has V & D and not eating. I will be ringing for an urgent vet appointment in the morning.

    We had a lovely visit from a friend today who came armed with flowers and botttle of beer for Mr L and a sympathy card plus some sugarcraft stuff that she has been given for me to sell. If they dont sell they will go to the charity shop.  The this evening another frien rang.  She didnt even know about Mr H so that was pure coincidence. As the little one is unwell I have got nothing done except sit with her. I havent rung the emergency vet as they charge nearly £200 just to walk through the door which I think is disgraceful and  what I would call usury. There is no possible reason for that as they advertise they are open 24/ 7.

    Nothing else for today and about to watch SAS rogue Heroes. The first episode was quite good.
