    Wow, that was a great night's sleep. I feel sleepy but in a good way. And no pacing round the house at 4am - yay!!! :j
    Looking forward to another good night tonight.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    We are getting a puppy:T. He is a little springer spaniel and he is really really cute. He will be ready to bring home at the end of November.

    I think DS1 's face will be etched in my memory forever .....he was absolutely delighted when he realised he was getting to choose a puppy;)

    Tooth fairy visited DS3 last night and he accidently dropped the money down the toliet this morning:rotfl::rotfl:. I said she might bring you another one tonight. He said " how do you know the tooth fairy is a she and not a he?" !!:confused::confused: . Got an answer for everything that one :T


    Have a good day everyone :T:T

    Brilliant! Spaniels need quite a bit of exercising and are active so you will be out playing in the park and walking him and this will keep you busy and away from any drink calling you! Also, as you'll have to get up to attend to him in the morning, it's so much easier when you can leap out of bed without a hangover rather than dragging yourself out unwillingly. And I have to say, picking up one's dog's poo when hungovered is just the pits!! No matter how much you love your dog!

    Have a good day everyone.

    Yes, I am a bit worried about the amount of exercise he will need as I know that the bulk of it will be down to me:eek:.. On a plus point - I may even manage to lose some weight;)

    As my youngest will be 6 :eek: next week I thought I had finally come through the baby phase . Now I am starting again with a puppy:rotfl:

    I know he will be hard work but I am sure he will be worth it.

    I lost a stone and also gave up smoking when we got our dog! I've also got to meet many fellow dogwalkers in our local area who are all lovely and it's a great feeling when you have got up and walked the dog in the early hours and then can come home into the warm and have a cup of tea!
