    Morning everyone, great news here Bo did a pooh:j , he hasn't went since last monday and the vet was abit worried so this is another hurdle over him. He did however eat his lampshade last night, got up this morning and there is just no way of holding it together so will make a trip to the vets today and see if they have any more they can spare.

    Plan now is get dressed and start the livingroom mind you i did alot in it yesterday while hubby had bo out (he hates the hoover)so i might just finish the kitchen list.

    Cuppa first i thinks, anyone want one??:coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Well done Bo! I remember the same joy when Ebony managed to go to the loo with his 3 legs (only 1 back leg), as he wasn't very good at balancing at first.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning folks

    G&B:- is the hubby worth rehoming?? if he is young and good looking, I 'might' be interested!!:rotfl:

    Bonsia well back, like others have said get on to your MP/SMP NOW..

    Glad Bo is pooing, likely to be doing more if she swallowed parts of the shade!! :rotfl:

    Re the large family thing:- I had a customer on the phone last week to me, she had 4 children under 5 (I think) and she made the comment to me, 'I should have kept my legs shut' I just cracked up, and told her far too much information!! :rotfl: I bet it was one of you lot!! :rotfl:

    I cleaned the shower to day!! :D

    Back from shoe shop with no shoes - independent shop who were really good, never been there before. They are not sure DS has the right orthotics (long story but I feel bad for not chasing up more often) anyhow they recommended a private lady who is head podeitrist (sp) at GOSH so I've rang her and have an appointment in a couple of weeks - school will have to accept trainers for the first couple of weeks.

    hI FOLKS,

    What a lot to read through! I will settle with the laptop when I have got rid of last son to work and have a read.

    Living room. We had a third of the ceiling plastered last night and get the next third done tomorrow and last bit on Friday or Saturday. The chap comes after work to do it for us.

    Everything has had to be moved and DH says it isn't worth moving all the plastering boards etc out so I have decided that today can be the bathrooms day.

    I have just heard that DS1 hasn't got a place in halls so now we have to help him find a place in a shared house in Ormskirk.

    Great news about Bo, vanilla,

    Hi everyone,
    I've got nothing done today so far....I'm so tired, DH not sleeping well so I'm not sleeping well.
    Its raining as well, which doesn't make me want to do anything except stay in bed!
    I'm going to have to give myself a shake!!
