Watty's Awakening
Comments
-
WattyDog a hopeless nurse and he has his own problems just now (like why does the human not hand over stuffed kongs more regularly and managing the entire neighbourhood). I did speak to his neurologist vet who said there was nothing he could do or suggest except surgery and there was no point in going back if I do not want surgery. I feel relieved. WattyDog is clearly feeling better. A few times this weekend he has come outside with me and is quite willing to "have a go" at the steps in the garden. Yes, he falls down them more often than he walks down but he is clearly feeling happier in himself.
And that is all that matters now. He has just celebrated his 9th birthday. I was planning on taking him out for breakfast at a cafe to celebrate but felt so ill, I let him lick the ice cream bowl instead.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 !!12 -

Happy birthday WattyDog!
Wot @KajiKita said. Ulcers/coldsores/anything mouth related = vitamin C need and sleep need!
Not nagging (much) but since you were last nagged, have you allocated a couple of days of bed reading and doing nothing pressing, or have you been constantly being (wonderfully) productive?https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase/p1

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.
