Life Cats and Other Things

Here we are hurtling towards the end of another year with little change to the last one. The things I had intended to get done have all fallen by the wayside and the dissatisfaction of life in general continues.

The finances are still in an appalling state, and there does not seem to be an end to that. The house needs a great deal of work doing to it, the ovens died a few months ago and I have not got the money to get them fixed and the television is on its last legs. 

Winter is here and with temperatures falling, it is great to have my wood burner to curl up in front of. Today, for the first time, I set the heating to come on to warm the house before getting up. I dread the cost of the bills, so I have held off for as long as I can. Luckily it has been mild until now, but if the doom-mongers are right, then we are in for another cold winter which I am dreading. I don't do well with cold. I have only one log at the moment(they are stored at Mum's) and so I took myself to bed early with the laptop and a cup of coffee.

I have not even thought about Christmas let alone done any shopping, not even a card has been bought. Panicking? You had better believe it.
