Hello all.
Just got an email to say I've won a £5 voucher with one of the survey sites – so I now have a total of £25 in Amazon vouchers burning a hole in my virtual pocket!:j
Onestep I'm so pleased the woofer ate all her chicken; I do remember when Penny-dog was getting elderly, and her digestion not what it should be, the vet put her on a chicken'n'rice and fish'n'rice diet.
Dusty how is Woody today? Do I need to send healing/appetite vibes?
Molly sorry to hear you have the wretched mouth ulers too. I haven't been to the doc about them – I doubt there's much she could do, it just goes with lupus:( (plus I'm quite run down just now) and I'm soooooo scared of medical bods.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Toots the pink stuff for mouth ulcers that tastes horrible is Anbesol – that's what I'm using! I've tried Bonjela and Rinstead pastilles in the past, and neither touch the ulcers I get. Not heard of Difflam – is it OTC or would I have to visit the dreaded doc? Thankfully they're improving a little (albeit very slowly) – thanks for asking Kezlou. Still having to leave the lower plate out a lot of the time though.:(
In fact major thanks to all who have expressed sympathy. If you can keep the healing vibes coming for a bit, I'm certain they'll go down a lot quicker.:o
Helen yes, PTFE tape is wondrous stuff – when BG made a mess of our central heating, and we had an independent plumber in to sort it, he said the BG guy had done up the fixings with “no PTFE tape and a limp wrist”. *insert rolleyes smilie*
Major posi-vibes for Cyclingyorkie's OH's Dad. Hope the biopsy results are good.
I think I need to do a HHC to do the dusting, as there's all the dragons to move to do it thoroughly (though I think that today I may just dust around the really heavy ones) – anyone care to join me 14:45-15:15?

Off I go then - watch out dragons, here I come........:rotfl:If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
