a question for those who know about dogs........
next dorr but one have a black lab(not sure if male or female?), but it is making strange noises in their back garden and sounds a bit like a cow?!?!?!
my boy lab has never made these noises, is it a girl in heat or could there be something wrong with it?????

toochioosey, my DH has a 6 yo female lab and she is not different noise wise when she is on heat, just sillier, more excitable and prone to chewing every thing. Can you tell I am a cat person :cool: ?

I did get the DW done, cheated and had chip shop tea. WM is now on and I just need to sort the uniforms and lunch boxes before I give up and go for a bath.

OK, so I spent an hour doing our bedroom and here is the result. Please bear in mind that I also pulled the bed out, swept and wiped behind it, took a load of things into the loft, put a load in the bins and recycling, sorted a pile of ebay clothes and charity shop stuff and rearranged under the bed.
None of this can be seen in the photo but I did do it, honest!

Will post the before photo again first so you appreciate the difference as to most people this will still look messy!



Please also bear in mind that the bags on the far chest of drawers are going to freecycle/charity shop and the box on the closer one is a hamper for someone. The printer lives there tho! As does the sit-up bar thing, when I'm not using it of course :rolleyes:


Only 2 of the chests of drawers work, the big one has clothes in the top 2 drawers and we can sort of use them but the bottom 2 have collapsed. The drawer on the left are empty and waiting OH to take them to the tip :rolleyes:
I think I need a wardrobe lol

Thursday - Master bedsty & landing

[strike]Strip the bedsheets and wash them![/strike] Done!
[strike]15 minutes floordrobe clearance[/strike] Haven't got a floordrobe.

Level Two

[strike]Vacuum the floor you can see in the bedroom and on the landing![/strike]

:eek: Oh. My. Word. :eek:

When I finally kicked myself into doing this I was *ashamed*, yey verily was I ashamed, at the amount of dust that came out from under my bed. It's tasks like this that make me wish I didn't have a bagless vacuum cleaner. Watching that dust whizz round and round (and then worse, STOP whizzing round cause it was too full!) has made me faintly ill....

However....there is now NOTHING under my bed apart from my suitcases, one inside the other, and even they have been vacuumed to within an inch of their lives.

::wipes forehead and goes off to make :coffee: ::
