    Evening everyone.

    Mozzy - hope the doctor fixes you up quickly - big hugs
    AnW'sMum - the dried fruit = you could always put some out for the birds
    Freedom - that's scary about the bonfire - glad you're OK
    Rosepink - well done on your walk!
    Wendywitch - that's fantastic news about the court - but what an unnecessary worry
    Lil-me - top news about the purse!
    Natty - Jet looks lovely. I'm sure he and BB will have a lovely time together.
    Piggers love - big big hugs to you - hope the carp swims out of your life PDQ

    Long day at work today. The user that was in on Friday didn't finish then so came back today and kept me hanging on until 5pm (I should have left at 4pm) so I hit all the traffic on the way home.

    Then got back to find a message on the answerphone from the vet about BB's results. Called the vet straight away, but the girl on reception tried to put me through to the vet, but she was with someone. The girl wouldn't give me any information, just said she would try and get the vet to call me back this evening.

    Ten very, very tense minutes passed then the vet called back and top news, BB's lump is benign :j:j:j:j:j. She did give the name of it, but I couldn't quite understand her accent (she's from Eastern Europe). She said she'd let me have the report when I go in on Thursday for the stitches to be taken out.

    I am so very, very, very pleased and, frankly, tearful about such good news. It's so silly really - she's only a dog for heaven's sakes, but she's a big part of our lives.

    But I'm waffling far to much. I'm now off to reach level 3 in the kitchen and get my star. It shouldn't take too long because I did it on Saturday anyway.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Wooohoooo fantastic news for Wendywitch, lil_me and soappie :D

    I have just dropped Miss A at cubs, W stayed here with my friend while he finished his dinner. Typical, the one time he does not come with us we pass a low loader with a train on the back! He would have been in heaven.

    Anyway dinner decluttered and DW on. W decluttered to the bath :rotfl: about to go and get him out before he gets and wrinklier!

    Thats brillant news Soappie, Lil_me and Wendywitch.
    Fedupandskint i hope the whiplash eases for you.

    I hope everyone gets a good nights sleep tonight, we were in with the doc about this today and he suggested was a glass of warm milk. He told us that if you can't sleep get up but stay up for no longer than 15 minutes and try again, he said no tea or food and don't smoke. Mind you he went on then to tell hubby he should have a sleeping tablet.:rolleyes:

    Right dishes and kiddies to sort.

    Yay!!! I'm so pleased about BB - I've been talking about her to my Moon man since she first had the op, and hoping she'd be ok.

    Nice to see Jet too Natty. I'll have to see if I can get some doggy biscuits if they are both allowed them?

    Have hoovered the kitchen floor but dinner has been made by Moon so couldn't mop, so will do later.
