THE FUTURE IS ONE BIG CHALLENGE AFTER ANOTHER for 3Dogs and friends ..... PART 2

ew!! No ted, i have big hips and !!!! so they all still fit pretty well. The weight i've lost has come off of my stomach. Although perhaps a bit on my hips, but you don't tend to notice it so much with knickers? Not that i buy them too tight - just to clarify if anyone was wondering

We got a tiny bit of rain about 5.30 to about 6 pm, but only very very light. But it was cloudy most of the morning and I think the threat of rain kept the punters away as it was very slow - however Mr 3Dogs took enough to make a profit and I've got another £43 towards the Stray Dog fund, making £116 so far :j :j :j :j

We had planned to start packing everything away at 12 noon, but there were people about, talking and still buying and we didn't start until about half past - got sorted, raced home, Mr 3Dogs walked the dogs while I had my shower, then he had his shower as I got dressed - we left the house just after 2.30 pm so already late for meeting at pub, but when we got to where Steve and Andy were staying, their host made us tea straight away, so by the time we had a chat and drank that, and got over to the pub it was after 4 pm

Poor Dragon and Mr Dragon had been in the pub since 1 pm as they'd had their lunch there and had just about given up on us when we arrived. I felt so bad about it, and knew that Dragon was upset thinking we were not going to turn up, but we hadn't been able to contact her as we foolishly had not exchanged mobile numbers Making our apologies, we introduced ourselves and had lots of hugs - we had a lovely chat and found we had lots in common. It was great for Mr 3Dogs to finally meet Steve and Andy, and fantastic to meet Dragon and her OH too - they were great company and we chatted like old friends :beer: :beer: :beer: oh and Mr 3Dogs managed 3 pints while we were there whereas I, as the driver, had 2 glasses of fizzy water

So glad you all had a chance to meet. I pmd dragon but haven't had a reply yet. I hope she is ok. Poor flower she is ill with her illness and it may have been a long day for her too. I always get anxious when i meet people but i didnt with you as i knew you were family. My taxi driver insisted on looking at steve and andy as he was worried for me! People are always so nice.

We were telling Dragon how we'd met online and then in person, and the story of our online life Dragon is from Co Durham you know - you could hear it in her accent when we got there - ...... pet, ........ me Mam ......... pet but as we all just chatted away her accent got stronger and stronger as we all relaxed - you would love to chat to her on the phone Kit - you would say she sounds just like Chelle, and me :beer:

They are all protective around here as they used to drive me to and from work everyday and when i was ill to hospital. They used to take me to the pharmacy for drugs for free and give me sweets, their lunch if i am hypo. Nice genuine people.

We dont know who the bad people are which is why when we meet it has to be in groups but so far i have met jolly nice people - mostly.
