Hello Hun!

In the mean time however, I agreed to dogsit for my friends who have a border collie and a chihauauh.... They were here for two weeks and they were great, but since then, the collie came into season and the little mexican lover has plagued the life out of her.

why aren't either of the dogs neutered??

Not v much done here, Mum has been & done the ironing :j:j & I just need to put it all away now. Mr T has been too. I've been tackling the worktop of doooooom in the kitchen, definitely a gibble magnet, & it is looking better altho still more to do.

I've booked a dyson service for the machines.. £69 for the first machine, & £40 for the 2nd one. After weighing up the pros & cons I think the convenience of having the engineer come to the house while I can't drive, together with knowing all the parts etc are included, justifies the price.. I hope!

Hope everyone is ok

We had this and brought ours back from the dead. It even smelled better! Well worth it IMO.

DD1 has come home. So we decluttered a big cuddle to the bemused looks of the boyfriend. She then threw sweets to her unimpressed brothers and gave DD2 a pretty little stone from the riverbed (it is being treated like a precious jewel now). They she ran upstairs to dump her bag and headed off into the high street with the boyfriend promising to get the 8pm bus back.

Its lovely to have her back:j:j:j

Valli - I love your poem it's fantastic.
Toots - Please take it easy. I can't be worrying about you in addition to my accident prone brood!
Carlsbergal - Lovely to see you post. Glad Danny is progressing - bet you could do without the 500 mile roundtrips though!
Pigpen - what gets projectile mustard yellow baby waste off of cream carpets? A friend on FB needs to know!
