    sorry to hear your piggies have been playing psychological games with you. they can be little bu99ers cant' they

    Hi LT

    Positively skipping around last night they were.:confused::confused:....and really enjoyed burrowing under a big towel on the sofa..Then naughty Fleure decided to escape while I was peeling parsnips for Grommie and explore the rest of the lounge...luckily I found her before she marked her territory on the carpet :rotfl::rotfl:

    ..I suspect the other night's blip was not having the pain meds at the right level in her system continuously. So without further ado, I'm off to do the drug round this morning to keep her levels up. I really hope the X ray tomorrow will show that the meds are dissolving the stones and give us some hope for her future...cos there are side effects of long term pain meds at this higher dose for piggies with kidney probs....

    Apart from that, stream behaved well yesterday despite the rain, I invoiced loads for the end of the month and Piggie Palace was very noisy last night!

    It sounds like they are happy..was the being ill a ploy to get into a nice warm room to play on the sofa?:confused:

    Glad the stream held up well and I was going to suggest that to deter trick or treaters that you should pull up your drawbridge:rotfl:

    Am back from the quacks where I had to chat to two medical students and then I saw the doctor..I now have some new anti dizzy meds which I must take 3 times a day (dizzy spells are getting worse and more frequent). Have to nip back to the doctors to put my prescription in again for more eye drops as the stupid twit that did the repeat has prescribed 1 x 10ml bottle when I have 2 x 5ml bottles (2 bottles avoids cross contamination between eyes)...I even added the instructions onto the email too:mad:

    I was a bit naughty this morning and spent a week's wages £50 (read that as £49.99) for a lovely wool rug for my living room (more tidying needs to be done and I need to get rid of one of the free rugs that is already there). These rugs are in Argos for over £100:eek: Its a checkerboard pattern in shades of chocolate, cream and beige.:cool:

    Glad things are on the up, Wol - long may it continue. Interesting about piggie psychology, for a moment I wondered if you meant they were playing flirting games with one another. Its not unknown, I guess :o

    It just shows where my mind is...... :rotfl:

    Hi KC

    Yes they do (he does) play flirting games....and Fleure nips Grommies nose to put him firmly in his place . Plus ca change!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    The psychology methinks is mainly them playing on me :rotfl::rotfl:....until we get Piggie Palace conditions spot on for "their nibs and nibesses" .....which happily we now seem to be achieving :T:T

    Totty builder busy weekdays at present..(perchance tied up by desperate housewives???:eek: :rotfl::rotfl:) ...so are you up for a saturday visit? (only time they can make it during daylight hours). Will ring you this week to sort out date :D;)..and perhaps combine with a little trip for the two of us to view some [STRIKE]property[/STRIKE] !!!!!! ;):rotfl:

    HI GJ
    :hello:

    Thanks for popping in :A

    How's you and the family? .....and how's the knee.....I hope you;re behaving yourself and letting nature do it;s healing work rather than trying to hurry it along :naughty:


    Ey up Wol :)

    the house of 'Jack's relatively quiet at the mo...mini-Gun #2 is off school with suspected oink-flu, mini-Gun #1 had to come home early after one of his mega-nose-bleeds :eek: , and mrs G-J is still the most bodacious babe on the planet :D As for the knee, have to keep easing off it as I'm trying to go flat-out and it's letting me know better now when enough's enough, but overall can't complain....I'm only going to be off work for another couple of weeks now, and I CAN DRIVE AGAIN :j :D :j (but only a little bit at a time :( )

    See ya soon ;):D :wave:
    ......Gettin' There, Wherever There is......

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
