Depressing thoughts

Well, Nina had her kittens on Sept. 6th - 6 babies, nice mix of colours. 2 choc torties, a lilac tortie, lilac girl, red boy and choc boy. All seem to be doing well so far. Must take some pics soon. That's the good news.

I've had no luck at all in selling Molly's Asian kittens, they are now over 10 weeks old and I've had just one enquiry which came to nothing. I can't afford to get them vaccinated, registered or neutered, but will somehow have to manage to do all these things fairly soon........

On top of the expense I had with Rusty last month, I am now facing another huge vet bill for Molly, who has had an intussusception necessitating emergency surgery on Monday afternoon. I'm expecting to be able to bring her home later today, but the bill is likely to be almost £500........

I am currently trying to find a job for the first time since 1992, but there's not going to be much chance at my age :(( especially when I have no skills other than in laboratory work and those are so out of date as to be useless.

Just to make things even worse, Andy Murray lost in the 4th round of the US Open and is back down to no. 3 after only 5 weeks or so at no. 2!!

Douglas goes off to Uni on Sunday so it's going to be very strange with no-one around for 90% of the time.
