  • Morning.  
    Just caught up on the week and so sorry that you’ve been feeling so rotten.  Hope the antibiotics kick In and improve things. 
    Good to hear you enjoyed Sapiens.  It was outside my norm when I read it and I had to persevere a bit to get into it but once I did, I enjoyed it.  There’s a sequel as well.

    Hope today is the day you begin to feel better 
  • Sadly the cat who was unwell a while ago has died. Mr PIP has just got back from the vets. 
    I still have the plague so can't even see him to give him a hug.

    Awww, that's sad news, PiP. Always a sad thing to lose a dear fur friend. You will have to store up extra hugs for Mr PiP for when you are recovered. Hopefully every anti-bio is now taking you a little closer to that goal.

    So very sorry to hear your sad news. Also sorry to hear you’re not feeling any better. If it’s not one thing it’s another ☹️

  • So sorry on the cat and you not feeling great.

    On the comping you just have to keep on entering its a pure numbers game.
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

    I take probiotic tablets everyday as (I know I know) can’t bring myself to drink an actimel as it’s ‘alive’ and all I can think about is the scene In Alien ……
