THE FUTURE IS ONE BIG CHALLENGE AFTER ANOTHER for 3Dogs and friends ..... PART 4

Had to laugh at Nick's comment. I'm sure given a month or so, Alan will be changing the bag with his eyes shut.

Visited my mum in hospital last night. Found one of the other patients on the ward was from the village as well and we all know each other through school and such. Hopefully she will be home Monday.

Am now on holiday for 4 weeks. Off to 'Firstsite' soon for the launch of 'Colchester24' as I am a contributor. Have another launch to attend for the same tomorrow so will try and check back in for an update on Alan later.

Alan had another good night's sleep but hasn't felt as good today. Nothing serious, just a little unwell and a bit more pain. He had a nap lunchtime and is in there for another nap right now

I was in bathroom geting ready to take Molly to the vets, when Linda rang to see if I needed anything at the shops as she was going to get a taxi into town for Asda :eek: so Alan told her that I was going into town anyway so I could take her. Anyway, we went in her car and I dropped her at Asda, then went to vets, and then back to Asda and found her in the store to finish her shopping and drove home. Molly was very good at the vets, though she was sick in her carry box on the way there. She let out a squeal when she had her 2nd injection and an even bigger one when she was microchipped - my, that is a thick needle for a tiny pup :eek: I will be able to take her out on a lead next Friday :j :j

While I was out, the lady from Macmillan rang but said to ring her again when I got back and she would ring me right back, so I rang when I got back in and ................. she didn't ring me back :mad: The office is only open till 4pm, so I rang and left a message for her at 3.45pm to say I was going out but asking her to ring me as soon as possible as we were desparate to sort out our benefits, grants, etc

I then went to the kennels and picked up Bess :j She was very glad to see me, though she had been fine in there, even after Billy had left the other day. Kennel owner said Billy had gone off happily with 2 Saluki's and she knew he would be fine I had paid £156 a while ago, and had a further £240 to pay today, which is a big bite out of our budget :eek: :eek: but it had to be done. Alan had put Molly in her crate in the bedroom ready for me coming back and Bess ran in, straight to Alan for a tickle and then heard Molly and went dashing into the bedroom ..... silence, which I classed as good. I went in and Bess was on bed wagging her tail looking down at Molly, who was wagging her tail and excited at the thought of getting out, so I let her out and they have been fine since, though Bess now knows what Bonnie felt when she used to pester her to play when she arrived as a pup 8 years ago . They ate side by side, and I took a photo before of the lying beside me on the settee, side by side ..... I'll post it later

I can hear Alan getting up from his nap now, so I'd best go see if he wants anything

Hiya Aesop - used one of the Iams voucher today on some food for Bess :T :T Did you get another Pcone survey today? I did, I've just completed it, but it was only my 2nd this year

beanielou

Bah to McMillian.
You need to phone 0845 123456 to get the DLA forms.
I take it Alan will also reapply for ESA?
Any of his previous employers likely to have a benevolent fund that could help?
Any service in the forces? They are also really helpful.
HTH.

3Dogs

Thanks Beanie - I'll ring for the DLA forms. I don't think any of the firms Alan worked for are still in business, such is the dire nature of the engineering industry :eek: Only TA, no Services. I feel quite let down by the Macmillan regarding their financial advisor as the people who told me about this got loads of help, and very quickly ............... and the people involved shouldn't have really got the financial help in the first place as they tell a pack of lies about their circumstances to get the benefits they get which entitled them to all the help they got :mad:

Anyway, we will do it right and plod on as always
