Morning

Wet and horrible here today, Wiltshire is going to have a months rainfall in one day apparently... great :rolleyes: Love the British summer.

Money is good, £3 spend in Sainsburys on the drive in, I needed a few supplies in the office, hot chocolate and squash mainly. But other than that I am going to be spending £4 at my salsa class, assuming I make it, with all this rain I may stay in!

Diet, blew out again last night, but I am not going to let that stop me, back into it straight away this morning, I have some sheets so I can write down everything I am eating and know that it is good.

Shoulds have a busy day in the office today, which is good. But I do have a job that at the moment is looking like it will be impossible, but that what I am a miracle worker :rotfl: I can magic things out of thin air :rotfl:.

Few jobs for today:

- Get some work done and off the list
- Pick up cheap organiser and get organised!
- Piggyclicks
- Keep to the diet
- Actually make an effort to get to salsa, even if it's raining

I think that will do for today... I am sure I will add stuff.

Hiya, sounds like things are going well - I need to actually make an effort to go to the salsa classes I found out about too! Hope you don't get too wet today!!

I should be ok, I don't intend to leave the office until 4.30... and the salsa is at 8.... I will be running between shelters and have my waterproof which has recently been reproofed!

Well Pay rise is in....

3%, which I guess I should be grateful for, all things considered.

Which I think will be about £30 a month ish, will know better when I am paid on the 18th.

Afternoon people!

Well Possibly some good news!

Our little boy, Bertie might be home from the vets today!!! :T

Ok the whole story....

He was hit by a car at the weekend :eek: amazingly he hasn't broken anything, just has some really nasty cuts on his front leg, but if he lets them change his dressing he can come home!!!

We will have to watch him incase he did and damage to the blood flow to his paw, but I just want him home now!!

Oh and luckily he is insured :cool: Otherwise is could be very expensive.

But apart from that i have had a really quiet weekend, very stressful, but I've not spent to much, although depending on how we play the vet bill, my cc, could take a bit of a hit, although it will be paid straight away once the insurance money comes in, hopefully they will claim it direct and we wont need to do anything.

Still need to pay my birthday money into the bank, but if Bertie comes home today I am going to get the rest of the week off to look after him and will be able to nip out and do it then, if not it will be next week.

Morning Everyone!!

Well I picked Bertie back up from the Vets on the way home from work yesterday...

Complete with new plaster and cone :rolleyes: woke up this morning and.... he still has them on :j :T He is a very good boy! (although he does keep trying to shake it off :rotfl:) Still not loving the dog cage, but tough he is going to have to put up with it for a while.

He is currently having a nap and I thought I would log on quickly while I work out what I am going to do today.

I think this is going to be somewhere close:

- Be dressed by at least 10 am
- Do some loads of washing and hang out while the weather is nice
- Take out the rubbish
- Keep Bertie entertained when not asleep
- Eat healthily
- Try to not spend all day watching carp on tv :cool:

And all the normal piggyclicks etc.

As for the last 2... well I was at home!!! :rolleyes:

Not doing so well today. Very stressed, feel ill, and I am really tried. So all in all not fab!!

Oh and I want to redecorate next week and I am not 100% sure what colour to do. I have chocolate brown curtians which I love, but want something warmer than cream, any ideas anyone?

Here are 2 pics of the patient... Although he is out of his plaster now

Morning.

Well the Bertie story continues. HE was ok over the weekend, although he was licking his poorly leg as it had no dressing on it.

Then yesterday we had a check up, there is fluid on the wound, which means it's very swollen, but the Vet wasn't to worried. He put a much bigger cone on him, so he couldn't get at his leg. Got him home and he was very quiet, gave him his anti-biotics (?) about 6.15 and he was sick twice!!! And really wasn't happy about the cone, it was making it hard to move etc, so we called the Vets and they said take off the cone and attach a sock to his leg so it can still breathe, but he can't get at it.

So we tried that.... he managed to open the wound a little, and started shaking!!!! So I called the Vets again and we had to take him back in. Apparently his has a temperature, he has lost .3kg in weight (at least one of us is :rotfl:) and is really NOT happy boy. They also think there may be a little bit of an infection in his poorly leg as it is really hot to the touch. The result. We had to leave him over night again.

The bill..... so far £477!!!!! And we are no where near finished!! :eek: Thank heaven for pet insurance!!!

So I am not sat at home wondering what to do with myself, I am having the most stressful holiday ever, I was going to see Mamma Mia today (cheap day at the cinema) but I'm not sure if I should, or if he can come out I could pick him up later.

And I need to get Mum's Birthday present. It's all just a little to much at the moment.
