    Mad with - glad you came out of hiding!I keep seeing the secret, and thinking of buying it but am waiting to find it at a good price LOL

    Have just finished my morning at work, was being overly thanked by my boss for every individual thing i did this week, think its suddenly dawned on him.... oh well too little too late.
    Not heard anything from the applications I sent which sucks quite a bit...

    puppy is having a very naughty day, and we really need to spend some decent time training him, hes been a bit neglected god love him and if we dont do something with him now hes going to get so bad!

    What naughty things is he doing? It might be worth sending a PM to Pania as she is a dog trainer, she might be able to give you some tips.

    Awww bless his heart. Rubes was the same when I was having bad days, she wouldn't leave my side and would snuggle right up to me so she was touching my leg.
