    Hello all

    Well, I've snagged yesterday's and today's lists, but I fear all that's happening in the Wolf's Lair today is decluttering a lot of zzzzz. :cool:

    We had a good day yesterday, and a lovely meal out in the evening; but today I am Ex-Haus-Ted! So as I have doglets arriving tomorrow, I need to rest to be fit to receive them.:o I do have to make a loaf, as we're virtually out of HM bread, but all that involves is measuring out the ingredients and chucking it all in the BM, so I'll do that, whatever else I don't do today. Also I have yesterday's emails as well as today's to look at, and the finance spreadsheets need updating, so that can all be done lying on the sofa.:)

    A successful day in Newport Pagnell, though.... The RSPCA ladies were pleased as a dog with two tails to have the box of stuff – it was a big box, too! And I managed to get a supply of incense, and the labret bars, which are a lot more comfortable to sleep in than earrings with butterfly backs!:o Also, we have a chap coming on Friday 23rd, to demonstrate a bath lift; it's doesn't require anything in the way of fitting, and has a battery operated control, which you just recharge like a mobile phone; the price is comparable with the best prices I found online, and I've dealt with the shop concerned several times in the past (for my wheelchair, scooter, new scooter batteries, and other bits and bobs) and never been badly treated, so that'll be a good job jobbed. Mr LW will be here (it's the first day of his leave) so he'll deal with the chap.;)

    I'm still catching up with the Fred, though, at the moment.....

    Bonnie a condom with a use-by date of 2007? Valli sold a bunch of ood condoms on Fleabay a while back, if memory serves.:D

    Adamantine ooh, ouchy re the shoulder:( – be careful pushing the buggy, won't you? Sorry to hear you're having such a rotten time from XH – the kind of name-calling you describe on FB is extremely childish, imho; but still very hurtful. Have a Wolfy (((HUG))).

    Wendywitch if you feel better lurking, that's fine, but please don't think you have to go through this alone; the ladies here have been lovely to me when I've been despairing, and there's lots of support available here for you, too. It's a most unenviable situation you're in at present; please let us help you through it.:o

    Right, next thing to do is log onto my bank and check that my DLA went in yesterday - it better have, I'm relying on that to pay for the bath lift!:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
