    Afternoon, well I have managed to give myself really bad cramp in my hand(NO NO NO NO:rotfl: )by typing a reply to a horrid wannabe troll (as I am the worst typist in the world). Just wanted to wish Bunny all the luck in the world. GOOD LUCK HUN. Hope everyone is having a nice, peaceful day.
    Blind as you run...aware you were staring at the sun.

    And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Hi Len, thanks for the kind words. I have been here and there and like i said in "that" post had a difficult few weeks. We are still waiting for a date for the inquest. Also we have spent (don't tell "my mate") a small fortune in the last few months (on Phoebe) so I felt a bit guilty posting on here. Daft really. You are all SO nice.

    Spud, you cannot go to the tip now, you will miss the football. Send him indoors :D Do you realise in your drunken state last night, you proposed to me? The post has been deleted now but I remember it :D

    When my Mum moved house we found 3 Tents and 7 windbreaks in her garage :eek: she just kept buying new ones because she couldnt find the old ones.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    We've been for a lovely walk before our Sunday dinner to Northcliffe Woods, the miniature railway was running and asks for donations only so it's a pretty cheap day out!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Ok good look with the inquest, vet bills are expensive arent they. Both of our cats are uninsurable; one has high blood pressure and has tablets for them, he is blind in one eye and losing his sight in the other, and has a skin problem which he has steroids for. The other one has UT problems and has that URINIARY cat food and 5 years ago he was shot through the leg by a farmer in Belgium and although he hasnt lost the use of it it gives him some gip from time to time. This one has just had an op to have one of his thyroid glands removed and all in all with the blood tests and historology that has cost the best part of £400. But they are worth every penny and are completely part of the family. Oh btw the cat who has just had the op cannot purr anymore as he starts gagging and he sticks his tongue out poor blighter eh. Sorry to hear about your cat its like a wrench when they go aint it Len x
