I had a scare today when I had to take Freesia to the vets. She hasn't been herself for a bit now so we made an appointment for her at the vets for tomorrow. But today she was just wrong. Not eating or drinking and very lethargic and every part of me was saying she needed to see the vet asap. Problem being, James was at work and so was Kayleigh so I couldn't get a lift.

In the end, I phoned and they said to bring her straight in, so I called for a taxi and she was seeing the vet within half an hour. She's had fluids, painkillers and antibiotics as she's got an infection somehow. But all her bloods for more serious conditions were okay which was a huge relief. So hopefully it's just a little thing that's knocked her as she's so old. She's back tomorrow for another check-up but already seems brighter, so much so she's eaten two trays of food. I also got a £270 bill, so, goodbye the last of our savings. Saying that, it was never an issue I wouldn't pay for the meds she needs.

Really, the end of June needs sacking off. Especially so as my in-laws are going through something horrible right now and I feel terrible for them.

In nicer news, we went to see the new Toy Story on Sunday and enjoyed it a lot. I didn't think we would get tickets but Durham had some for the iMax screen -- the first row of the iMax screen. I have to admit, I wouldn't choose to sit that close again. While it was cool to see everything so huge, it was slightly dizzying at times, and I'm glad it wasn't some kind of action film we were seeing.

The cinema was really busy, with all the Toy Story showings full to capacity, much to the displeasure of a man who rocked up with his family and expected to get seats all together about 20 minutes before the film started. He couldn't seem to take it in there were none left and kept demanding to know how all the tickets had already been sold. The person dealing with him had to keep patiently explaining about online sales and how most people don't buy tickets at the counter just before shows, especially on opening weekend for a popular film. But the guy still stomped off in a temper.

And more nice news. Two new kittens have just arrived at Mog on the Tyne and we still have our free loyalty visit to use. Kittens will surely help turn around a bad week.

Poor girl, I’m glad it’s turned out to be something simple (and hopefully the improvement sticks)

I dunno what it is this June but it seems that a lot of people are having issues. It’s cursed it seems

Yeah I’m not surprised it was so busy! I’m not sure if I’ll be seeing it just yet. I know I’m going to see Spider-Man soon. Ugh that’s sucky that guy was like that *hugs you*

Kittens are always good! 🖤

She's a bit stiff and slow this morning but I think the painkillers must have worn off, so hopefully, that will change when she gets more. At least she's watching the birds again, she wasn't even doing that yesterday.

I always knew June was going to be hard, but didn't expect so many other things to go wrong. So, right now I could agree with that curse.

I'm looking forward to seeing Spider-Man, it looks fun.

I really didn't get that guy. He had such an attitude and it wasn't the fault of the person serving he couldn't get seats.

I hope Freesia continues to improve!

how funny that someone would expect to just walk up and get exactly what he wanted so close to the show starting, especially on opening weekend

have fun with the kittens - they help brighten almost any mood!

Thank you. I really hope so too. She's my old lady and I love her to pieces.

I know, right? The man had such a sense of entitlement. Maybe he doesn't go to the cinema often so wouldn't know the majority of tickets are sold online, but to stand and argue with the person trying to help him was ridiculous. It's not like she could magic up seats.

I'm looking forward to seeing the kittens. I'm hoping to book a space this afternoon for a kitten fix.

Oh no, poor Freesia! I hope she'll make a quick recovery. She's lucky to have you taking such good care of her.

New kittens cannot fail to power an upswing!

My poor old lady. She's brighter this morning but still not right. I suspect the pain killers must have worn off. So hopefully they'll give her meds to take when we're there later.

I'm looking forward to seeing the kittens. They look so cute in the photos that have been posted.

I'm keeping everything crossed for Freesia! Hopefully she'll soon be back to her old self. *sends lots and lots of good thoughts*

Kittens!! They will surely help to turn your week around. Everything is better with kittens!!

We did go and see the kittens, they were a highlight of what was a horrible week.

Glad to hear Freesia is on the mend. As you said, there's no question that you'd take care of her and buy meds and all but £270? That is a lot. Sorry it put such a hole in your savings :/ But she's fine and that's the important part. Still *hugs*

Sorry to hear about your in-laws, too.

Hopefully July will be better for everyone involved.

It was such a big amount of money, you're right though, we would always spend it and I still have no regrets even considering how it ended. But yeah, if I ever get any more pets they'll be insured as soon as they set foot through the door.

Though right now I really don't want more.
