    Thats a great photo 3dogs thanks.

    If I go to somebodys door (eg.delivering parcels) and they happen to have a dog, I sometimes get a really weird look off the owner for having dog biscuits or bits of sausage or chewsticks or whatever in my pocket. To me its perfectly normal but some people seem to think im a crazyman carrying stuff like that around :-)

    SW congratulations on your nsd.
    I'm not trying to have "no spend days" but today almost became a "negative spend day" as I was given more change in a pub by mistake than the note that I'd handed over in the first place. Anyway the lad noticed it before I'd even got a few feet from the bar and he came after me, and being the decent chap that I am, it was all settled square and fair.

    Lunch at the cricket and Mr 3Dogs has gone to bed but not me, oh no :o

    Mind you, I have been completing a couple of forms to renew Bonnie's PDSA PetAid vet cover and our Help for Health costs which gets us reduced dental/optician costs, and also printing off letters to Mr 3Dogs' creditors to revise the current £1 token payment offers to pro-rata payments,spread equally across the 4 creditors dependant on the balances owwed to them. I have calculated that we have £20.07 left after payment of normal household bills to offer to his creditors, so they will still not be getting a lot:

    Surrendered Car HP balance .. £2,089.77 which is 40.17% of total so offer of £8.06
    Joint account overdraft ........ £1,667.20 which is 32.05% of total so offer of £6.43
    Menswear catalogue ............ £ 808.21 which is 15.54% of total so offer of £3.12
    Credit Card balance ............. £ 637.00 which is 12.24% of total so offer of £2.46

    I will get those letters in the post tomorrow by recorded delivery. I have stated in the letters that they are to correspond in writing only in future and to remove any phone numbers they hold from their records. Then we will pay these amounts regardless of their replies until Mr 3Dogs' DRO is processed in April/May :D

    Moving along now, moving along ....................... :j :j

    Ah, that's good of you Puddings, carrying treats for the doggies, plus it would hopefully appease any aggressive dogs too, so good thinking there :T

    Pub? Pub? is that one of the causes of your weight problems I wonder? :D Mr 3Dogs didn't go out to the pub much, but he well actually we used to drink a lot indoors and he we have had to cut that out and only have occassional drinks to get the weight off :( Mind you, we both know how hard that can be :o

    erm, "pub" was actually a crown carvery= turkey, a mountain of veg and a couple of spuds. diet coke to drink, so its not really likely to be the pub thats responsible for my massive weightism!
    personally I'd rather blame it on full boxes of breakfast cereal or porridge with syrup served in an actual bucket or hot buttered toast eaten by the loaf full!
    I'm not tea total, but am fairly close to being one of them.
    the carvery are offering vouchers on facebook to get a meal for £2.99 during January. it was the voucher that somehow managed to confuse the lad behind the bar which resulted in him giving me change equivalent to if I'd paid him with a £25 pound note lol.

    Ooops I got it wrong there :o Sorry Puddings :D I agree that the cereal and the toast might just be the problem :eek: You might just be right there ;)

    Hope you enjoyed your carvery meal then tonight, with your diet coke - a very healthy meal :o
