Mornin' all.

That's me supplements taken already and I've been paid, so I can relax now.  Today's bills have come out of my account so I can relax about that too... just got mobile top-up, my lil nephews account, Dogs Trust donation, electricity and Equifax to come out now, as well as the Friday tenner and the groceries every Monday.  Tight for the rest of the month but just about doable I reckon.  Spent pennies over £300 on non-essentials in June and £198 already this month, but most of that was SCBWI membership (£63) and Patric's insurance (£89)

I was wrong yesterday when I doubted Steve would come out with us.  He did.  He did 300% with the puppy and I did our normal Monday marathon with her.  She made a new friend on her walk with Steve... someone was walking up the road and Mitzi's little tail started wagging, then as she got closer to the puppy, she rose up on her back legs and started dancing for her!  She didn't get petted but that's OK, 'cos not everyone feels comfortable around dogs.  Our across the street neighbour came out and got into his car so Mitzi greeted him then just as we were finishing our walk, our next door neighbour came home and said hello to me.  Very social walkies this morning.

The vet phoned while I was feeding her.  Apparently the steroids she's been on for the last few days was just a stop-gap to see her through until these ones came in.  Hopefully Marie or Steve's dad will pick them up and bring them over soon so that the puppy can start taking the proper ones.

The puppy has just been out the back for a poo, so I cleared it up and binned it totally alone because my paid carer was more interested in watching the telly.

My MIL's home-made zoop for lunch today.  Takes yummy, is healthy and filling so a winner all round!
***

Mitz is going for another sleep-over tomorrow then going in to the vet for skin scrapings on Wednesday and pick up her proper meds at the same time, then back here, so this week is gonna be expensive, but the poor puppy is worth it... we just want her to be happy is all.

That's the rubbish just been and gone... only 7 hours later than normal lol  Nowt else to do now, until the shopping comes this evening.

Apparently the shopping escorted Marie down the street tonight lol

We're having a take-away for tea, so I'm gonna shut down now and doubt I'll log back on after having such a late night last night... think I deserve an early one!

Nite nite orl!  💤
