    Ouch to the ankle and DH :(

    But :):) to Florida pot and visas arriving. Bet you're super excited, not long now.

    Re dog cage, I think we used ours once, first night we got our dog she slept in it fine, second night she cried so much I caved in and put her in our bed - she slept all night in my arms. We sold it on eBay a couple of weeks later. Waste of money. People rave about them, say you must get one, never worked for us.

    Same here with the cage SA. Oakley hated it from the minute he went in and we haven't used it since he was a tiny pup. It's just taking up space (even though it's collapsed) and is potential Florida money :money:. 7 weeks today :j. Xx

    Ankle has got infected :(:eek:. Trust me to need the Walk in Centre while all the NHS computers are down - I felt very guilty going while they were so stressed. Nurse says friction burn is very nasty and infection is obvious. She put a small dressing on it, but didn't want to cover my whole ankle as I need to keep an eye on the redness. If it travels any more I have to go straight to A&E as I'll need IV antibiotics :(. I'm limping really badly (probably not helped by still going to work last night :o) and feel under the weather with a temperature etc.

    Today has been a NSD so far. That might change if I end up at A&E.

    Heard nothing from the guy who wanted the cage :mad:. Got some things ending on ebay tonight though so hoping to swell the Florida pot.

    Oh dear, Lucky, sorry to hear your rope-burn got infected - did you clean up the wound when it happened?

    Also sorry to hear Oakley didn't want to use his crate as a den. Feel a bit guilty about that as I did recommend you to buy it.. Shame it didn't work out, and hope selling it adds a decent contribution to your Florida pot!

    Hoping ankle is on the mend and you have had a busy day rather than being in A & E
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, crack open the Gin......
    Or as my Mum would instil, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    Robin, I did clean it when I got home, about an hour after it happened, alas the infection must've already taken hold (or I didn't do it as well as I thought I did :o). Have avoided A&E but have still felt unwell and quite tearful today :o. The infection doesn't seem to have travelled, and my limp is slightly better today. DH helped me clean the wound and put a fresh dressing on. I nearly passed out with the pain :eek:. Bless DS2, he's worried that my being 'infected' means I'm going to turn into a zombie :rotfl:.

    2 out of 3 items sold on eBay last night and after fees/postage this gave me £26 for Florida pot. The items were donated by my lovely sister to sell, so pure profit :T:A.

    Got our house insurance renewal letter today, so that's next on the 'to-do' list. £158 seems very high!! Sure I'll get it down Xx
