    Whisp PM results came through today....still awaiting Charlie's results to confirm. We have a possible diagnosis....(a scientific first which the vet wants to "pursue" and write up). It's not good and opens up a complete nightmare of moral questions/decisions to be made for each individual piggie. There is no cure and it looks like they all have it. I will be seeking a third opinion....but how can you get a knowledgable/impartial one when it;s a scientific and veterinary first?

    I have explained to Numpty - he is as gutted as I am. I am hoping he will come down to visit them but I do understand if he doesn't want to.
    (Hugs Numpty Hun :grouphug::grouphug:)

    I have decided I am not going to talk about my piggies anymore on this diary but instead use it to keep me focused on all the other things I have to do each day such as work and generate income.

    What a GREAT start to 2010....NOT.

    Nope. It's talking about the driving of the people at my place of work. It was shocking. In fact much more shocking than just "shocking" - but words fail me. I could blame the snow, but the snow was only about 6 inches deep.

    One car was parked in the middle of the car-park - not in a bay, but literally in the middle of the car-park, blocking about 5 people in...

    Happy New Year Wol - sorry to hear of your bad piggie news - I am really lost for words although you did make me laugh with Beechie leaving his mark in your ironing basket:eek:

    Things have been fairly quiet here - I had a friend stay over and have at last got some christmas pressies - a spy pen, some posh choc from Italy and yesterday another gift in the form of a portable dvd player with an 8hr battery time so that if the power does go again I can at least watch DVDs in bed:cool:

    Was due to go to a breakfast meeting this morning followed by another meeting but rang the chap I was supposed to meet at 6.30am to say that I wasnt venturing out having seen the forecast:eek: I made the right decision as by 9.30am the snow was falling heavily - we have had about 2inches with another 25cm promised (about 10 inches:eek:). Friend left to go to Worcester but gave up after twits in sportscars spinning their cars and I had a phone call at around lunchtime to say that he was at the shopping village in Bicester and had already been to Helly Hansen and TOG and was about to wander into my favourite shop Musto to see if he could bag a bargain:D

    I have spent the day, washing up, doing my washing which is now drying in the living room and watching the telly. I did go to the bank earlier and came back looking like a snow woman:eek: - crossing the dual carriageway was a game in itself as the road was covered in snow and ice and one chappy in a sports car decided that he was just going to keep going through the red light so thankfully I had the sense to remain on the pavement instead of being knocked into the air by the stupid lummux.:rolleyes:

    Good call Beanie...:rotfl::rotfl:..he's a bit of a slippery eel so you never can tell ;)

    Sorry to hear you are still snowed in...I was housebound for a week before Xmas and it "did my nut in" .Have you got enough supplies (and fuel) or do we need to organise an airlift?

    Have been quite concerned for you these past few days..

    ..

    Another good comment Z which I thoroughly agree with - Personally, I **** bricks if I have to take the car out in this weather owing to the imbecility of other drivers. In fact I ONLY go out in the car if I need to go to the vets :cool:. Luckily I have Tatco Express, Co-op and most other necessities in walking distance (we may be a villlage - but we are pretty well stocked for shops and services:rotfl::rotfl:)
