Morning all, thanks for the thread
Seriously soggy here today. Good old Argyll weather! Hapoybi tackled the garden on our one day of summer haha. Yesterday I finished off stripping the bathroom.ceiling and D'S made a wonderful soup for dinner. Today I will nip in to town and pick up sandpaper and filler and start that in the bathroom.

tru he/she is indeed lucky to have found you!! My Coco was attacked by another dog st around a year old and became incredibly nervous around dogs he doesn't know. I have studied animal psychology so was working hard with him and then, just before Christmas, my neighbours dog attacked him we do agility with a fabulous trainer and behaviousist so now we see her weekly for agility and every few weeks for behavioural issues. Sadly where you have right or flight my boy would fight but purely through being scared. I am so sick of off lead dogs running up to him with the owner yelling it's ok he's friendly. My retort is now 'that may be so but mine isnt' but it doesn't make a blind bit of difference - I've also lectured people who say well if mine gets a up it will serve him right......maybe but mine will also be stressed out for days due to your lack of manners!
Apologies I'm ranting but it annoys me so much that I am trying to do the best for mine and uneducated people ruin it!

Dinner tonight is paprika chicken only I don't have chicken, rice or a yellow pepper so it will be made with what I DO have - Turkey, red pepper and a few chips or mash. Need to go to stop for food but might leave that until tomorrow when it's quieter. I don't mind the spend though as I got a free £30 voucher when I changed my insurance

Judi - could it be something to do with your thyroid problem? After30 years of an underactive thyroid my hair is so fine and is prone to falling out periodically. I don't dye it because I'm lucky enough not to have gone grey, obviously a genetic thing as mum had very little grey when she was 80.

Tru and Elf, DD is getting a puppy this week and is being very conscientious about it, despite the fact that we had dogs all the time she was growing up, although she was really too young to remember the last time we had a puppy. She has read a lot and booked obedience classes - she and DH will need to decide who is in charge though and not be soppy over her. I was always pack leader and could command instant obedience, our dogs, although well behaved knew that they could get away with things with DH and the children.

The weather isn't great here in Yorkshire but I think we'll get out for a walk at some point and I have a jigsaw to finish.

DS and DW have decided they prefer the first house they saw and have decided to go all out for it so I hope they get it even though it means them being 45 minutes away rather than 5.

Back home from my shopping trip and very pleased with all I bought Still £18.79 under my £60.00 budget for July so fingers crossed this surplus will get swept into my holiday savings account at the end of the month Manged also to buy reduced in Lidl's 4 vintage cheese b'burgers for £1.60 which will do for my DGS one day in the summer holidays as I have frozen them. I look after the boys from next Wednesday until we go away on the 18th of next month so I keep a keen eye out for things I can add bits to to feed them. Also snaffled five HUGE sweet chilli chicken thighs reduced for £1.75 which have been portioned up and frozen With chips and salad and maybe a jacket spud thats enough to fill their hollow legs as well :). It all helps a bit and the boys will eat virtually anything thats put in front of them.

No more shopping for me this month which I am pleased about so my little cash food purse can get stashed at the back pocket of my handbag out of the way :):)
