    Julie the book is Cecelia Ahern, Where Rainbows End. It was brilliant, i started reading it two nights ago and finished it this morning. I love getting stuck into a good book, the problem is i don't want to do anything else.:o

    Re house viewings cant remember who said it but yes you are right about at least we are getting viewings. It's just frustrating when people seem to do it as a hobby when they have no intention of buying, it's hard work getting the house ready esp as have 2 kids under 5 and a messy husband so make that 3 kids:rotfl:The feedback we had from Tuesdays was "yes its a lovely house but we are not sure if we want to live in the town or stay in the town where we are" Well how about driving around the town first before arranging viewings. Carlsbergal your client is bloody rude, I would never talk to my EA that way, surely it's in everyones interest to work together so that they sell and you get the comission. Just dont understand some people:confused:
    Anyway someone give me a kick up the butt as mine seems to be stuck to the sofa:eek:
    Oh and good luck to everyone expecting a level results today.

    OK... so if I'm spending a week on a language course in Florence (it's still theoretical...) should I stay in a hotel, a student apartment or with a family (and eat breakfast and lunch with them)?

    Logic says I should go for the latter as I'll get the most out of it... am I right? The cost of the accommodation will also influence how much I have to spend on the teaching, as I have a defined budget. Flights I will have to pay for myself...

    HR have printed my letter and given it to my boss's PA to be signed and posted :D

    Afternoon everyone, not sure what is up with me as I am feeling really carpe, but I am slowly doing stuff. It may take me longer at the moment but hey it is getting done :)

    I am really worried about lodgercat as he is not eating anything at all now, and the only way I am giving him his tablet is all crushed up in some butter that I am spreading across his mouth so he has to lick it off himself. I'm not sure what is going on with him to tell you the truth. I am going to have to ring up the vet to see if they have some really mushy prescription food that I can give him via a pipette or something. At least that way he gets something inside him.

    If anyone has any ideas all help would be appreciated, bearing in mind I have tempted him with nearly everything I can think of, cat food (pouches and tinned), tuna, chicken, ham, prawns - almost anything. I've even bought him Sheba and he's not interested :(

    Jo well done on the job hon, knew you could do it. :)
    Johanne sorry about ex, *hugs*
    Kaz I am so sorry about your puddy cat, it's hard when you have to say goodbye to a beloved pet. *hugs*
    Rach hope you start to feel better soon, I think we should prescribe you plenty of rest and relaxation :)
    julijim, just a thought re your DS have you thought of using bicarbonate of soda, just a sprinkle or two under his arms. This might work I don't know but I know that is what was used back in the "olden days" before all the modern stuff appeared.

    Toots sweetie, can I please have a star for Wednesday, and I almost there with Thursday and Tuesday :)

    Ok off to make a cup of tea and then ring the vet..
