    Sleep well, Jemma.

    Oh gods, I really can't afford to be in tears here again - I have Dilly arriving in an hour, and I have make-up on today for my photo with her.:o

  • I had problems posting on certain Blogs where the comments page is not a separate pop up window. For some reason this is not a problem for me on Lous blog. do you have a google account?
    I made one this morning as I read the blog most days. I am following the blog now... but that's as far as it goes. I select a story, click on 'comment' I go to another page where I type the comment and a 'varification code' it asks me for my password (even though I logged into the page) and then after that things go funny as it asks me to create a blog profile!

    And i'm not exactly a technphobe... I used to work with computer software... but this is bugging me like crazy!

    ps. I'm sorry to hear about your mum's dog x

    Oh, Bitsy, your poor Mum, how heartbreaking but how good to know that Jemma will not be suffering any more. I wish there was a similar service for humans.
    LW, mop up those mascara streaks and make sure the photographer gets your good side.

    JulieG, I've said it before but treasure that man of yours, he is a gem.

    Really must not spend any more time here, there is a magazine waiting to be written by the end of tomorrow apart from anything else.

    Nothing OS, NS or any other sort of S going on here today. Roger and out.

    Me too. Sorry ladies to make so many of you cry :o

    LW if it's any consolation my eyes no longer have any mascara on and look like pee holes in the snow :o enjoy Dilly coming. When I was very small my grandparents had a cocker spaniel called Dilly :) I had a stuffed dog toy like a spaniel which I duly named Dilly Dog :)

    Duly mopped.:o All it is, the dog-sitting service local agent takes a picture of the dog with the host(ess) on arrival, so that the dog has a "holiday photo" to take home. I get to have a copy of it too, so I get a record of all my canine guests (though of course I take loads of pics myself).

    Just going to trundle Dilly up the road now, before it drops dark.;)

    Hope everyone is feeling a bit better now, My little man dog went over the rainbow bridge four years ago and theres not a day that I dont think of him, he was a very special doggie to all the family.

    I havent been on here for a few days, after being away for a week I managed to get an abcess in my mouth and its only today that I feel anyway human, I seem to have been living on painkillers this last week and as I havent had a dentist for years I didnt know where to go, anyway my DD1 has found a NHS dentist near to where she works and they are taking on patients, so Im biting the bullet (or painkillers) and going to make an appointment when she brings the application form over tomorrow. In all honestly I used to go to the dentist every six months years ago, but the practise I was with went private and the prices shot up such a lot it priced me out being a single mom, so I really ought to have looked for somewhere else but you know whats its like, when your teeth arent playing you up you dont somehow think much about it. Anyway thats me for today, Im off to heat some HM soup up then have a shower and hairwash ready for work tomorrow!!!

    Lou, Bitsy, DG I have tried to comment on Lou's blog... each time I do it tries to make me my own blog page and doesn't publish my comments... what am I doing wrong???
