Hello from Somerset

Hi Everyone

I am (as the title suggests) from Somerset. A dedicated animal lover (especially dogs - of which I have one).

I'm here to pick up tips really - I'm trying to live frugally because I'm so poor! I love cooking, walking and watching TV. Reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo at present which I really like but I'm taking ages to read it for some strange reason.

I 'm currently suffering with plantar fascitis (foot complaint) so my dog walking and rambling have been severely curtailed.

Thanks
Sandy

Re: Hello from Somerset

Thanks for the welcome Pats.

Is that your cat nobaggage? I love cats too - I had 3, all sadly passed on.

My current dog couldn't live with a cat and there have been 3 lost to traffic accidents on the road where I live.

You're right about starting a thread on frugal living - I shall have a think tonight about a good tip and start one tomorrow.

I'm not tight either but I'm not rich and every month there's another expense - TV licence, gas bill, car MOT etc.. so the less I can spend on day to day things the more I have left over for these emergencies.

Re: Hello from Somerset

Yes thats my Tigger .... He came to me aged 5 about 4 years ago .... He was so scared of everything but now he is king of the house ... my 2 dogs give up there beds to him when he wants to lie by the fire ... and he has me pandering to his every need. He is a smart cat , I have taught him to walk on the lead and can often be seen marching around service stations on the motorways of France with my dogs , much to the amusment on the french people . and sits on his own chair in cafe's when we have breakfast out .... Plus he chases the mean dog that attacks other cats in the village he is very funny.... more pic's of him on my profile... and my dogs
Looking forward to your thread.
