Congratulations on the new job.

Thanks a lot everyone... I am really happy

Starting on the 31st May, will be supporting roll out of a new computer system in one of London hospitals but this time not as a trainer (was doing it for 10 years) but as project support role, something I wanted to get in for a while... either PM or E&D or L&D rather than IT Training ..

So really happy

Thanks again

Arranged a dog care as Zara suffers from separation anxiety at a very high level and since I was at home pretty much 24/7 for the past 6 months - she would take it really bad to be left alone and keep all the neighbours on their toes all day with barking/howling etc.... So my dog walker will be picking her up at 7:30am every weekday morning, taking Zara to her house where 2 of Zara's best friends live (dogwalker's dogs, 2 GS girls) , will go for a walk with them together around midday and then the dog walker will bring her back home around 1-2pm.

Zara was always ok after being brought home by the dog walker, when she comes back after a walk and I am not here she is ok just waiting for me - but she absolutely hates me leaving and seeing me leaving so this arrangement should be ok .. I hope. Zara does not even eat when I am not at home my poor girl.

I went out today, my daughter and her BF stayed at home with Zara and she was still crying (not barking/howling as when I leave her alone at home but crying, those little wimps and looking for me.. ) She spent the afternoon ON the bed with my daughter and her BF and only changed her mood when I got home at midnight. Mymmy home - all ok....

Fred is similar to Zara and so is Chloe - they want to be with me 24/7 and cry when I leave.. and those 2 are cats, Chloe only 3 weeks here and MY girl....

The rest of the cats are ok but a dog and 2 cats with separation anxiety is a lot to have on, believe me....

I am happy though that Teddy is now ok with all the cats, Fred stopped harassing him, accepted Teddy as one of family and does not try to bully poor Ted any more. Fione sometimes hisses at Ted but not much.

Chloe still guards my bed a bit but is not in the room all the time, both Chloe and Teddy are ok with Zara too, not friendly like my other 4 but not scared at all, walk all over the flat despite zara walking behind them and forever trying to lick them all over...

So - all slowly sorted itself out, 6 cats and 1 dog stay put and it is a massive relief for me
