We had some good news today. If you live in the UK you'll have seen all the ads saying the time limit to claim for PPI was coming to an end, so if you wanted to do it, do it now. So, we did because we were young and stupid when we first moved in together and took out loans we're still paying off now. Neither of us expected anything to come of it, but today we got a letter saying we're getting some money back. Not much, but enough to pay off the vets bill and put a small amount back into savings. Which the way things have been going will soon be swallowed by another vets bill, but hey, money. They say a cheque will be coming in the next four weeks so I'll be keeping an eye out for that.

James is off driving baby fannish niece and her friends to an awards ceremony. It's being held in a place on the outskirts of our town, which would have been a pain to get to on public transport. So he's driving to pick them up, coming home until the event is finished and then will drive them all home. Meanwhile, I'll be lounging in a hot lobster bath and having a read before watching some tv.

Before that, I'm clock watching as it's nearly time for Tinker's meds. She's been grumbling at her bowl for over an hour now but there needs to be 24 hours between each dose and if I'd fed her before she wouldn't have eaten the dosed up food. So I've had to put up with her wounded looks and scorn towards her neglectful catslave owner.

I'm planning to decorate our bedroom and that includes wallpapering a wall. I've never done that before and am a bit nervous about such things as matching patterns, but nothing ventured nothing gained, and if I do mess up at least not many people will see. I just need to find the perfect wallpaper now, something bright I think as our bedding is everything from dinos to stags to colourful cats.

Well, it's 6. I should go feed that tragic cat who's making it clear she hasn't been fed for at least two weeks. How she's managing to stand is beyond me!

Yay money! How very nice to get that.

I have never wallpapered anything, for much the same reasons. Good luck! (Perhaps some sort of primeval forest print, in which dinosaurs, cats, and stags can wander? *g*)
