    Been really quite on here again today! Where's everyone?! I need this thread knattering on to stay sane at work :rotfl:

    My pooch is back from the vets, she's fine just feeling a bit sorry for herself. I owe my parents £40 for the op as they said they'll pay the rest because she's pretty much a family dog. Can't complain with that!

    Thats good news about your parents paying some of the bill. My mum still sends me half of the money i need for our cats vet bills. We've had her since i was 10 so mum still sees her as her cat aswell, always tell her not to send the money but she always sends a cheque - cant complain :D

  • Hi everyone! Made it home from the badlands unscathed (sorry Cinny and Flower - or was it Tink? :D) - the conference centre which colleague described as being 'like Guantanamo Bay' was actually really nice. Ate a big buffet of the battered variety for lunch though so might be another non-weight-loss week, though I did try to offset it with the lovely fresh pineapple :p

    Fireworks and no-dead-pig-on-a-stick sounds good, must double check the date in my busy diary :rolleyes: which is not in the immediate vicinity ... can tyou tell I've been on the train for four hours?

    Besides which if it is nice weather on Saturday I really want to take NIM to the forbidden corner for a nice day out.

    Tried to find this a couple of years ago and couldn't, must try harder, everyone raves about it!

    Tete just clocked your location and considering where you actually live I got quite a chuckle out of it.

    Morning everyone!!

    Glad you made it out of Nottingham alive Tete! I don't think Nottingham is as bad as people make out.. but then I stay around the Playhouse area so maybe I just go to the nice parts?

    Got my pooch at work with me today cause she's not meant to be left alone. Her ear looks so bad bless her, like a slice of cheese! Knackered though, my cat decided to wake me up at 3am by bopping a dead mouse on it's head, repeatedly. It was more than disturbing. Not made any better by me frantically scrubbing anywhere the mouse might have touched at 3:15 this morning.

    Need some savings account help though please!! Anybody know of any good long(ish) term savers?! Want to start a little moving out fund in an account I'm not at all tempted to touch (unlike my esaver!)
