I have no words of wisdom, but hope things improve soon for you. If it's any consolation, I think that the pup's bad behaviour is very likely down to the fractured skull. Poor thing must be in a lot of pain and a bit confused as to why. Our collie has previous for nipping the back of a male visitor's legs (she's a rescue dog, and is extremely nervous of strange men). So now we make sure she doesn't get chance. Hard though.

Really and honestly, he does enjoy the challenge of finding the best technology versus the best price. I'll pass your thanks on, I'm sure he'll be happy to have helped.x

evening everyone

its wild wet and a bit miserable here

MrsChaos hope you enjoyed your change of scenery today (and the course as well) I hope your friend gets better news flylady vibes winging their way to her.
seafarers wife - thank goodness you are ok - what a fright(((hugs)))
LameWolf hope you have a lovely evening at the opera tomorrow
RealButter welcome to the thread - a pm will be coming shortly
Mummyyof5 hope you enjoy your excursions - its a nice change for you - if your mystery visitor is that lovely lady who lost a lot of weight give a huge hug from me!!!:D
Chloris - has your hubby got any chrome cleaner for his car - that might be worth a try? utility bills only need to be kept for about a year so that you can look back at your usuage.
valli good luck with starving jinx and that all goes ok at the vet
pooh sorry to hear about DS and the uni problems - hope he is ok and yes I would agree about the blow by blow account - not always appropriate but at least you know he is ok now. Poor pup - I do hope its her sore headand not a behaviour issue. - I bet there is a lot more that you havent told us so here's the biggest (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUG))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) to give you a boost and lots of love to keep you going strong. take care of yourself honey - we dont want you worn away to a frazzle xx

it was a bit chaotic here this morning - i decided to sort out the hall and then got a call to see if the electrician could come to put in the outside socket - of course said I - then the cleaner arrived then the electrician and then my frien A phoned to see if she would pop in but we decided it was not going to be a good time - the poor cleaner mopped the kitchen floor 3 times i think!!!!
We didnt achieve as much as we wanted to but thats the way life goes - but I have power to charge the chair so something i can cross off my list!
I snoozed in the afternoon and I have managed to condense a BIG box of stuff into 2 smaller ones BIG box going with the paper uplift tomorrow:T my bedroom is a bit untidy but wont take long to sort later - just some stuff to put away.

better go update my list.
toots xx

Thanks, Ours is a very nervous rescue dog too and is terrified of anyone strange. She is also terrified of my walking stick which makes going for our short walk very interesting. I have to remember to have pup on one side and stick on other:)
I will make sure she doesn't have the opportunity to nip anyone again.

Thanks too mudbath, and LW and toots you are right as always
Don't you go doing too much. Poor cleaner, your floor sounds a bit like mine. Next time I am thinking of going for a 'mud' coloured.:rotfl:

I have made dinner and am going to try to have a HH me time.

toochoosey

Have done the bare minimum again today, didn't sleep well last night due to a sore neck and shoulders so have been dosing myself with cocodomol(sp?) and deep freeze. Stil have things whirling round my mind from the funeral and keep asking myself is it worth worrying about, now he has passed on.......????

Flying, food cooked and scoffed, dishes in the sink with hot soappy water and DD in bed..........may do something later????

Hugs to all those in need and thoughts with Toots, LL and LW (and anyone esle in need xx) xx

msgnomey
