evening folks! bit unsettled tonight - have had 3 butterflies in the house in the last week and cant remember what the superstition is regarding them. am a bit superstitious like wont buy myself a purse, or if i give one for a gift i put a coin in it so the recipient will never be skint, and if i see a new baby i give it a penny and definately no cutting nails on a Sunday, if it had just been the one probably wouldnt have bothered me, but 3 strange!

Just having a quick read, according to Japanese culture, a butterfly is a symbol your loved one is coming to see you (loosely translated), for the Chinese two buterflies is a symobl of love, and generally a butterfly is a symbol of good luck. Apparently in the Phillipines a black butterfly or lingering moth isn't such a good sign, and in Japan a swarm of butterflies can be viewed as an apparition of something not good. However, I don't think three separate butterflies comes under this... I'd go with the symbol of good luck - or just that you have something in your house attracting the lovely things.

Thank you Dilli
Having a rubbish day...Puppy had a bad turn last night, his heart stopped. We took him to the vets and they said if he made it through the night he'd be okay, so we paid £250 for him to stay in with oxygen. We picked him up at 2pm, he's got severe heart failure now and he has about a week left. We are supposed to leave for Spain in ten...

I've been crying all day. I slept dreadfully, and now I can't stop crying...it's just constant. My liver and kidneys are swollen, so that's not helping either...and trying to get him to keep still is impossible. They said the stairs could finish him off, so we are trying to find baby gates that fit round banisters. My heart feels like it's breaking...

I would have posted this on the Ville but I've lost my password and I just needed to get it out. Thank you.
