    Morning campers,

    I'm up bright and early although not sure if I am actually awake..lol. I had to get up to get some honey down the two dogs, thankfully Bear is getting over his cough but now Jet has gone down with it - yep the dreaded Kennel Cough, though gods knows where they caught it I have no idea. It was definately interesting giving the honey to Jet but at least he has had it so we shall see signs of improvement soon. Both dogs have taken themselves off to bed, and the two cats are in their respective beds asleep - ahh!!

    I have an appointment this morning which I am dreading, you all know what it's for :( But at least it will be sorted so that is something I just hope it isn't anything bad, if you could all send positive vibes for me at 9am this morning I would be so very appreciative.

    My poor body will wonder what is going on as I was up at 6am this morning and then tomorrow I have to get up at 6.30am as I have a 2 and half hour drive to Chichester so will have to leave at 8.30am..who on earth gets up that early on a weekend..lol.

    I am taking advantage of the nice weather and have the bedding on a boil wash, then that can go out when it is finished.

    Enjoy the Meadowhall meet those that are going xx

    *Hugs* everyone, extra special ones to Diva, LL and Toots x

    Err - because you've been coughing;)

    You'll have to have an early night tonight so you're fit for tomorrow. Hope you feel better during the day.

    I know, I know. :p It's just I would have though it was my rib muscles that would have complained, not my lower tummy ones! Maybe I'm just not coughing right...

    Have we decided what we're doing tomorrow yet?
