Tell Us About Your Day

Sorry to hear of your dog's troubles, Heather.

I can very much understand the love of animals: I have always loved pets. I had two dogs growing up: Kim and Jenny. They were wonderful. I also love cats: although I never have owned one. I just dote on the three cats that visit my dad's house everyday. There are three of them: Tiddler, Elizabeth and Conan. They are very affectionate animals and worth me spending time with.

Again, I love animals and nature.

It is what you do for them. 

We used to discuss our dog's health/illness/quality of life/age and that cost would have to be considered against all the variables. But when we got told that she needed surgery, we just said "yes"! without asking the price. 

Have a good time. 

Enjoy yourself, kjay!

I have been good I did my ironing yesterday and Ive been out walked the dogs and visited the cheese shop on the way home..

Normal cheese plus a pound of cheese with herbs and olives from a farm not 10 miles away. We see the cows when we walk the dogs nearby..
A lovely fresh bit of brie (full fat none of that skinny rubbish)
and a bit of mature old cheese for nibbling with a glass of wine while sitting back and watching tv...

I did a major house clean yesterday. It looks good

My new credit card arrived today, hooray! I already like it better.. my old one stopped sending texts saying the amounts being charged, it switched to just giving a generic message that I was charged hours later, which isn't very helpful if trying to spot suspicious activity ASAP. The new one was instant and said the amount.

I also now can use virtual cards online, which my other one didn't offer; it creates a new virtual card for each site, and I can just delete/lock it if anyone tries to use it instead of needing a whole new card... but if I do need a new card, all my virtual cards will automatically be linked to the new one, too... I'm pretty excited lol

The only negative thing temporarily is that I can't install the mobile app because my phone is too old xD But I plan on upgrading my phone by next month as a holiday/birthday present using some of the money I receive from my family to go toward it, and then I'll be able to use a mobile app for my credit card.

The virtual cards seems like a good idea. It does more readily give the card company a better insight as to where / when a card was hacked, which hopefully will never happen. I haven't heard of them here.

This is the cleaning I've done today:

1. Took out the rubbish & recycling
2. Hoovered thoroughly
3. Cleaned the skirting boards with hot, soapy water
4. Washed a load of laundry
5. Have cleaned off disgusting mould from my bedroom window
6. Am airing out my apartment
7. Have sprayed spiced apple air freshener

Having a sorted apartment is what I enjoy doing!

I use credit cards all the time. When the bills comes in I pay them off right away. No interest that way.

I've never missed a payment, and yet I get cashback rewards, so I make money off of them instead of the other way around 

It can be risky if one doesn't pay attention and accidentally starts buying too many things outside of their budget, though. 

Exactly, because I pay off the bills completely when they come in I get "payed" for using my card with the cash back benefit. 

It can be a little supplemental income.
