Best wishes Spud. Its horrible when your pet is ill.
My boyfriends dog had a wee limp when we took him for a walk last week. By the time we got back to the house he was walking okay again but I was till really worried. Luckily the vet said he was okay but it gave me such a fright.Jan 1st 07 Car loan £4830.46@12% Personal Loan £11,517@8% variable Overdraft £1500 July 2009Halifax-£0Debt free date 14th July 2009 :j0 -

morning everyone
I can't believe I slept from10pm until 7.30am (well, he woke me up between 4.30 and 5.30) but I feel refreshed - though still a little bit tired
My housework plans for today are:
load of washing (one in and I'll save one for tomorrow).
dust
vacuum
clear out three drawers in the spare bedroom (it really is a junk room in there).
Some good news - My SIL has spoken with her boss and he's willing to pay me to bring her up to speed with excel and creating and manipulating formulae. So I reckon that'll bring in about the equivalent of one bottle of wine:rolleyes:
Wayne's doing really well with the patches and he's not wanting to drink for a while - he says it will erode his will power.

Morning Cat...If you slept for that long you must have needed it:D
Wayne seems to be doing well and maybe a good idea to stay off the booze as I suppose it does go hand in hand with the smoking. Giving up is mostly psychological I think.
When I quit I remember just after a meal I had to get up and do the washing up/ironing/hoovering just to distract me from the fact that that was the time I always had a smoke. The patches should help though.
Great news on the Excel training:jBut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -
Morning all!
I'm feeling much happier today, although seem to now have cold - proper rubbish
