Morning guys and gals, hope everyone is doing OK today and is coping in their own way. Didn't have too bad a night so have woken up a little more refreshed than normal but isn't it still so dam cold I just cant get warm

LameWolf

Morning all.

TaBunny, you're right about it being cold. Our central heating's been on the blink, as well. Still, the blokey's just been to fix it, so warmth is gradually coming back into the bungalow.

I do agree with Purse String about even getting a small job done is satisfying.
I have to make some bread rolls in a while (or Mr LW will have nothing for his lunch box tomorrow:eek:) and I'm hoping to feel well enough to make a mincemeat tart for our pud. We shall see. Mr LW has put all the equipment I need out on the worktop for me, so fingers crossed I'll get it all done.

Hope everyone's black dogs are responding to our Dog Training Sessions.

Hi yes all dogs in basket in coma !! , just off to see brother Labrador " black paw " can't wait for nice cuddle with her , she is so gentle . might even try to take her for little walk in park , as you can park right outside the gate , with lots of wooden benches you can rest on , lucky she is happy to go play with other dogs and comes back when worn out ! see you all tonight

Awww, Jamla, she sounds gorgeous. I sometimes have a dog to stay with me. She belongs to a friend of Mr LW, and if her humans go on holiday somewhere they can't take her, she stays with us for the duration. Her name's Molly, and she's a real tonic. She even walks with the mobility scooter, off her lead.

Hi guys, god the 'dawg' just descended on me about an hour ago, I was doing fine but then after reading another thread I went down hill fast and now am sitting here feeling sorry for myself. Sh*t i hate it when I'm trying so hard to be upbeat and the slightest thing sets me off. I really need to go out and get my daughter 2 new school blouses, she's been asking me for a week. The shop is only a 5 min drive from my house but I keep thinking about the effort of putting on my shoes, getting in/out car, trying to drive the dam car, parking, walking to the shop and before I even get my shoes out I'm thinking myself out of going worrying I will fall or won't be able to park and i start panicking sigh. I really have to go and am trying to build the nerve and strength now to do it I hate giving in to my body and phobias.

LameWolf

((((TaBunny)))) sending you a bit of Wolfy strength to go and get those blouses. Hey, it's only got once to be done, right? It's sunny here in Concrete Cow Country, so I'm guessing it's not too bad weather-wise where you are? It might rain tomorrow. Why not treat yourself to a little something while you're out? I dunno, a small choc bar, or a magazine or something. And you'll have a sense of having achieved something once it's done.

TaBunny

Thanks Woofie, yeah it's sunny here in London too, but so cold. OK I'm off to put my shoes on and will report back when I get in lol so keep sending the strength ;-)

TaBunny

Puff! Well I'm back and that was no mean feat I can tell you and I nearly passed out when the woman in the school outfitters told me that 2 blouses and 1 jumper were going to cost me £38! OMG crikey I haven't bought any uniform for a few years as she's done well with the stuff she had, now she's only got 6 months to go and her stuff is well worn so thought I'd better replace it but can't believe it the jumper had gone from £17 to £23 crikey, credit crunch not half. Still I made it there and back in one piece, if a little out of breath, I'm glad I went thanks for all the support guys.

LameWolf

Well done TaBunny.:T Prices are really dreadful, I agree. If clothes get much dearer, I'm going to join a naturist colony! LOL

I've just taken the rolls out of the oven and put the mincemeat tart in, so we shall actually eat for the next couple of days.:p
