This morning I was hoping for a lie in , but my gorgeous cat decided to keep attacking my feet .  Brought a cuppa back to bed

I was wondering briefly how on earth the cat managed to bring you a cuppa!!

I love my WW app. Do you do the live exercise sessions? I particularly love the Zumba on Wednesday and Thursday. I’ve been at goal for 22 years now it was the only thing that ever worked for me.

@Brie No unfortunately the cat isn't trained to bring me a cup of tea .
I had to get up to fetch it myself.

@I_Love_comps - I have a cat that does the same thing. He is only 11 months old and I am hoping he outgrows it. Mine attacks by burrowing under the covers and attacking me with claws out. Usually about 2 am, 5 am, and 7 am!

@weenancyinAmerica .  My cat is 2 years old and no sign of stopping  the attacking feet .
He is a joy to have though . I would not be without him . He also attacks the OH's feet too .

Been a while since I posted.  I need to start posting every day. Especially to keep a track of what I spend.

The good is I have managed to loose 3 stones in weight.  It has taken me 5:years.. The weight gain was due to medication I am taking, but since reducing it , I have lost the weight.

This means I had to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes. My old ones I am selling on vinted and donating to charity.  I feel so much better for loosing the weight.

I have also been upset . My mom has dementia. Looks like she has hit her peak and is slowly declining., my mom no longer can hold a conversation or recognise me . Only very occasionally does she recognise me.  I have found this very upsetting. Mom dementia diagnosis was nearly nine years ago now and mom has been in the nursing home for nearly 8 years. 

I am enjoying the weather and the school holidays, as it is my holiday too. As I work in a school.

My aim is to start saving again. I certainly do not need and more clothes, makeup and toiletries for a long time.

Take Care All

Well done on the weight loss - I need to do similar and am just a small fraction of the way.  It really is inch by inch.

And sorry to hear about mom.  Dementia is so dreadful.  But hopefully it's only dreadful for you and not for her - I hope you understand what I mean by that.  I've known people who became very distraught and angry which is hard to deal with.  If it's "merely" a case of being blissfully unaware that doesn't (to me at least) seem nearly as bad for that individual.  Do take care of yourself as ongoing resilience will, no doubt, be required.
