Good news/ bad news

Well I'll get the bad news out of the way first- Jesse James is at the vets again for the weekend. On Saturday morning he was struggling to urinate again, and we know the drill by heart by now... At least we know he's in the right place to get the treatment he needs. The vets are also very good and are allowing us to pay off his bills in monthly installments, although at the moment it feels like we'll be paying it off for the rest of our lives ! ...so that's the reason why I've not been blogging very much, as I don't want to have to keep on putting gloomy posts about him continuing to have problems :(

And the good news is that Jerry has an interview for a bookseller position for the Waterstones chain. The rate of pay isn't great (£5.75), and it's only 20hrs per week; but it'd be a start. And I think after he completes a probation period he'd then be entitled to a staff discount (I'm a real bookworm!) :>

Other good news was that Jerry's dad visited us today and took us for a 'big shop' at the supermarket. It was so much fun! We got big packs of spaghetti & penne pasta, rice, loaves of bread, tofu, multipacks of chopped tomatoes and Baked Beans (Jerry's favourite), plus loads of fruit & veggies. I could have easily spent double what we did, but didn't want to take advantage. Normally we go shopping on an almost daily basis- not to the supermarket but to closer shops for bits & pieces, it's very strange for the cupboards to be full !
