    Soappy, he is doing really well tbh, it was in a different place and he was just rather over excited I think - twice in two weeks is pretty good for a little dog. If you catch him having a widdle and growl at him he stops and then goes outside to finish it, he is crated at night and manages to stay dry/clean in that too. We make a huge fuss every time he goes for one outside so lots of positive re-inforcement, back door usually open as garden is fully enclosed, no arrangements for weeing inside. The first day he did about ten inside, now he is down to one or two so learning fast.

    Here's a link to the Earth Hour thread http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?p=20184345#post20184345

    It's only lights that need to go off. If you have time to sign up on the website (there's a link on the thread), that would be great!

    I'm going to watch a DVD in the dark!

    Grateful - believe me, the drop in the grid will be noticed. It's much more difficult to prepare for than an increase AND they have to cope with the surge afterwards (I'm looking foward to seeing the data at work on monday... it's not often I display much interest in powerstation load balancing!)

    London meet is on 25th April - I'll be going through Guildford on the train so you're welcome to travel with me.

    My candles are lit ready for earth hour - I may use it as a good excuse to laze on the sofa :D (like I need an excuse :o )
    Sounds great. Have just discovered my diary is in the car, will check it tomorrow, but would love to travel with you on the train if I can make the 25th.

    Have just remembered someone asked where I live, can't remember who, sorry. I live in Cranleigh, which is a village between Guildford and Horsham, but nearer to Guildford. I usually just tell people I live in Guildford cos more people have heard of it! Cranleigh is the largest village in England, it's great and I love it! Very villagey, but has everything you could possibly need and lots of independent shops instead of chains.

    ETA: Ooooooh noooooo! I need more pyjamas! All 3 sets of mine are in the wash! And one of them is a bit too small. What a pain this is. I get through them quite quickly as I tend to wear them in the daytime quite a bit if I'm not going out as they are more comfy and so they end up in the wash a lot.

    It was me who asked! Only cos I work in Bordon, know people in Headley, Grayshott, Godalming, etc. and used to live in Holmwood nr. Dorking! So I know quite a few of the places around Guildford.

    Be great if you could join us on the 25th :D

    A client had a aggressive episode and I was holding her and trying to calm her. My arms and legs are aching and have a couple of bruises and a bite. It doesnt happen often and Im used to it.

    Big hugs Boddy - hope you're less sore in the morning.

    Yes, he gets them into a corner on the manure heap, lies on the floor and gets up to herd them back in if they try and go. They get very fed up with him, and he doesn't smell to great either :p .
