    I really do love the dogs but then they are a massive tie when you want to go away somewhere. kennels, injections, injuries etc etc! you could always adopt a greyhound, they are so gentle and they do not need lots of exercise either so make very good pets. I have two border collies that have too much energy and they get naughty when they haven't had enough exercise.

    Had to get him one of those too - bald patches all over until it grew back. Certainly not the most handsome hamster in the world! :D
    The flat I live in has a no dogs or cats policy and so he is the nearest I could get without breaking the rules..... blimin hard to train though!!!

    You be careful where you put that toilet paper with the plaster on - could cause all sorts of damage "down there" ....... lol

  • hiya guys hope you are all recovered and feeling good after xmas - just near year to go now ;o) personally I cant wait to get outta 2008 and start 2009 - 9 days to go now for my br date!!!!! I have a surplus so far of 272 pm but taking out the 100 child benefit have £172 god wish I could get it below 99 so wont have an IPA! any thoughts anyone?

    onto animals I have a mad golden retriever and a hamster (well son has the hamster) - dog is a big tie but wouldnt be without him especially in the day when I am on my own - I can whinge and moan to my hearts content and he still looks at me with his big soppy eyes aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    happy new year everyone - this is gonna be our month!

  • Hi folks....

    Well, here I am back at work, one hour into a shift that ends at midnight!
    It is very, very quiet (surprise,surprise) and so plenty of time to look at t'internet. ;)
    Freezing outside though, don't fancy de-icing the car at 00.15!

    I have had quite a good day - getting things done.
    I have set up a d/d for next years council tax using my co-op acount.
    I have sent off meter readings to Scottish Electric for my switch to them, I can't change bank details until the account "goes live" (which I thought quite funny wording for an electricity supplier) on 8th Jan.
    I have renewed my car insurance and got 0% interest for my monthly payment plan. It actually means my premiums will be less this year!

    I really must get round to starting my BR forms, especially with DON78 saying that she is up to 38 pages so far, I thought it was BR we were talking about, not War and Peace pt2! :rotfl:

    My boss has asked me to do some overtime next week (no surprise there) and I have succesfully negotiated that instead of pay I will get time in lieu. This is good on two counts for me - it keeps my surplus down and gives me extra holiday leave to use before July.

    Not much more to say really...... :rolleyes:
