    absolutely typical! got home and still no poo and looked like he had a big blockage. didnt want to leave it til tomorrow night so got emergency appointment at vets. 30 mins later the vet picked him up to find he had the runs!!! grrr why didnt he do that before i took him!

    You should have squeezed him when you picked him up :rotfl:

    trying to decide about my dune shoes. i :heartpuls them and wanted when they were £80. couldnt justify it so bought cheap replacement pair that i have never worn (to be listed on intranet). i bough the dune shoes in the sale for about £55. but they are v high and i cant drive in them. have worn them once and need heel grips i think. i since bought identical pr from next at £26 but are inch lower so can drive and walk. but i :heartpuls the dune ones!

    (

    I vote keep the shoes! If you were going to buy them pre sale then i ALWAYS vote keep! I break alot of my shoes in at work, even just sitting with them on under my desk and walking to and from the printer! :rotfl:

    I get my puppy next week! Need to get a vet sorted! Better safe than sorry with the vet though! Hope Bill (It is bill isn't it?) gets all better soon. :( x

    hehe i have tried them again and am in two minds :p

    oooh what type are you getting?

    hmmm not really sure about bill, dont think he is very well. still has not had a proper poo he has the runs a bit and then sits in it so has a !!!!!! bum and tum :( have tried cleaning him with cotton wool and water but will try soap tomorrow i think. also think he has lost weight :( vet has suggested weighing and monitoring weight so will see.

    on a money note have spent £150 on petrol this pay month and is likely i will need to fill up again before payday! :eek:

    day off work today and 5 MS booked :D all in city centre as well so no transport costs. although it is raining so will get wet!

    had quite a few NSD recently without really trying :) got £110 for this weekend (friend visiting). This is made up of £60 withdrawn from debt account and my £50 bingo win. should be plenty and hopefully will be some left to feed pigs as they are looking a bit anorexic atm :o

    debt account looking v unhealthy atm as £136 OD :eek: this is mainly due to me spending £188 on petrol this month (£128 over budget), about £55 on vets and the £60 for weekend (received some MS payments since balance was zero).

    so not looking good at all for £850 target :( money i know is coming is-

    £30 from ebay sales (transfered from PP)
    £340 rent
    £136 MS money (from main co)
    £55 cheque from MS co
    £170? approx extra in salary for OT and petrol last month.

    £731 total so about £600 when goes into account due to OD. sure will get odd few payments as well from other co's by end of month. what is really gutting is that have received £90 MS payments since 1st so if i hadnt spent all of above i would have hit target (sure i will get at least £30 extra payments).

    got a few more things to list on ebay/intranet. decided to sell shoes but only for decent amount so will list for £30 on ebay (were £80 originally and only worn once and still very current style).

    just realised not as bad as it looks as will receive £120 back from work in aug pay for all the work miles so whilst will be down, will make up half of the £250 down next month :)
