    Hiya everyone
    We've spent most of the day on the sofa apart from an hours work (a manicure so I didn't have to move too much) and another walk with spotty dog. Another dog came up to her to play and she ran off. She got as far as the park gates so I turned and walked away from her. She came back pretty quickly but my heart was in my mouth. I'll just have to keep taking her until she stops being nervous poor thing. I think the heating has gone off so i'll have to get up and disturb the poor dog unless one of you kind flyladies would come round and put it back on for me!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: xx

    pigpen - thank you for the fabulous list yesterday. The boys were a little reluctant to start, but when I said I was happy to ring you and you'd be down from Hull in about four hours with the pointy stick anf fluffly mules, they leapt into action! There was some pretty fierce renegotiation over the rewards, so it has cost me:
    Level One - a chocolate bar
    Level Two - £5 each (on the grounds that there's nothing on at the cinema)
    Level Three - spaghetti and meatballs.
    They have done a super job, and the room looks great!
    DD very tearful, as she wanted to do her room and get the rewards too and felt far too ill, but I've promised her that I'll do it for her, and she will get a treat to make up for being so poorly during the holiday..


    Aaaww.. bless... Glad they were so keen to assist!! Hope DD is feeling better ..:(

  • Aw poor spotty poppy puppy dog! she has had a real fright but your patience and loving care will get her through it mudbath - after the bad start she had in life you just want everything to go smoothly for her dont you? and then some rif-raf of a dog goes and spoils it!

    Peace will be mine
