    Bless you all! Was wondering if I should maybe rename self something more apposite? (sp?)

    Just spent £200 on RussellWatson tickets for Mum's birthday...that is two months plus worth of personal spends...hope he sings good;)

    I only got on MSE trying to track down info on a debt collection agency who were giving DH gyp...and now look at me, I'm an addict:eek:

    Lewis tonight, I love it...spotting all the old haunts, though Oxford has changed so much in 20 years...and I have to write to chief exec of Health Trust about my home birth (praise, mostly).
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Busy day doing jobs, but I won at scrabble! I never win at scrabble...NSD and arranged some friends of the DDs to play in the week. Busily doing thankyou cards, and sorting out the clothing mountains.

    Tomorrow we have a friend of DD1 to play and puppy is starting [STRIKE]boot camp[/STRIKE] dog training.
    Baby did notalot of sleeping last night.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • All went ok today and even got a swim in, well the DDs and DH did. Puppy is being trained! NSD which is much needed.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
  • Puppy training went well, just a shame the class lasts an hour and her attention span is 35 minutes...sooo cute, though, she did the first sit and down, and then she figured out the pattern and did it before she was told. labradors and their love of food!!

    Quiet day planned as baby partied all night.

    Aww. Belle wouldn't do hardly anything in class, just wanted to wrestle or sleep. LOL. Was quite embarrassing at times. And yet she's so good at home and increasingly in the park. Silly puppy. LOL

    Well a miscarriage a year ago really put a lot of things in perspective, and its my last baby, so I have to enjoy it...though not so much at 4 am!!

    My last dog was impeccably behaved in the church hall where we did dog training, but hopeless out and about:rotfl:
