    What a lovely positive post Marru.

    Hope Mr 3 Dogs is on the mend really soon.
    A week today will be Christmas Eve.

    Woo Hoo, Switzerland sounds good Marru, even if it is for work, and glad the acupuncture did the trick. Mr 3Dogs used to have this for his bad back, and he used it to stop smoking back in 1995 too

    Mr 3dogs is still suffering though no way near like he was last week. He is determined to get up in the morning to have a slow walk around the car boot and see our friends as this is the last Sunday car boot before Christmas. Not going too early though, probably about 10 am so we catch L!dl for their pork loin on the way in, and it should have warmed a little by then too, as I don't think the cold will help him much :eek:

    We will be wrapping up warm Boult :D:D

    I will try to send that parcel to you on Monday or Tuesday ;);) Gotta go to the PO on Monday anyway to cash my ESA - I was expecting it to go into the bank on Monday as DWP said it would be paid in same methiod as my Incapacity Benefit, which was BACS into bank on Friday, though I knew this would be on a Monday. So what comes today? ............ yes a cheque which I would have to put into my bank and wouldn't clear till Thursday ..... or .... cash it like a Giro at PO and then put money into bank to cover Direct Debits :mad: :mad:

    Have a good day Mr and Mrs 3Dogs, hope it warms up a little, so you can enjoy the walk. and get lots of bargains at L"dl.

    In the old days, they would only send a cheque before the BACS payment if the system said it was too short notice to create a BACS payment, so a cheque would be issued and BACS would follow for every other payment.

    But in this day and age the system should be able to process a BACS payment straight away! :mad:

    Morning guys - Mr 3Dogs was all for going to the car boot but when we were going to get up he was writhing in agony again. He got up to put his ice pack on but came back to bed 15 minutes later saying there was no way he could go :( so I gave him some m0rph, did his breakfast and his other meds and he is going back to sleep now hopefully. I've had my breakfast so will just go get ready and go down to the car boot myself as I have cards to give out, people to see and things to buy

    Alan was still sound asleep when I got back from the car boot - about 12.30 pm, but got up around 1 pm for an hour and is now back in bed. It was freezing cold and very quiet at the car boot, so he is not missing much by not being able to do his stall. One of our friends said last week and this have been his worst two weeks ever :eek: Got 2 honeydew/4 galia melons, 4 sharon fuit and 2 packs of figs for £6, and 5 bunches of flowers for £2 he charges £5 for 5 bunches but gives us them cheaper, and often gives us some free at end of day too, a big tub of hard jelly dummies :o for £1.50, 2 Toffee Apple/2 Black Treacle cakes for £1, 20 sachets of dog food for £2, and 2 Kgs of Best Scotch Sirloin Steaks for £20, so was a happy bunny

    Just going to give the doggies their walk while the sun is still shining :D
