*shakes head* vet fees are so expensive. I can't walk through our vets door without emptying my bank account.

Well it's my turn tomorrow. I'm after 3 different prescriptions, each lasting 28 days (3x longer than Diz's two medicines). It will cost me less than £20. Blessings on the NHS, at least I never have to wonder if seeing a doctor is the right thing to do.

I am glad I took Diz - his eye is churning out gunge and I'd be frantic with worry if I hadn't. I am genuinely shocked re the cost though. Had this been an ordinary month I'd have been in tears. I'm grateful that the first time he has ever been ill has been when I've had money enough to look after him. I am definitely getting insurance for him when I get a job though. If it turns out he does have a heart murmer I wouldn't want lack of funds to mean I have no choice re treatment.

He's in his usual position on my chest (laptop on my knees). If £80 means he's healthy then it's worth it.

Sweet kitty loves his mommy! Glad he's feeling better, and you could do what you needed to do. Vets are crazy expensive, but I think pets know we want them to feel OK.

i was whining to John Dillenbeck (salesmanager) about losing my tie bar at the gym today....and told him that I had lost my other one in between the seat and console of an Altima coupe demo that i had. That car is still here in the front of the showroom. 1/2 hour later, John hands me my old tie bar. He had a skinny detailer go in after it. nice guy.

I now have shelving in both ends of our bedroom wardrobe with a clothes rod in between so now I can keep my clothes in our room instead of the spare room.

Also, Dazza is getting home tomorrow and wont be going away again till after Christmas.

Also, my kids did a great job in their school swimming carnival yesterday.

Also, I'm up to date with all my housework.

Also, I'm going shopping tomorrow.

Also, did you know it's only 29 days till Christmas?
