    Howdy everyone :wave:

    We had a good morning this morning, and have cleared some stuff :T including the microwave :T

    I behaved pretty well and only bought one book, though it was one I was planning to buy anyway so that's not too naughty :D

    I was not particularly keen as we left the house at 5.45am :eek: but I am glad we made the effort.

    Hope you've enjoyed the horse show LAM, and hope everyone has a good day :)

    Wow, I am shattered now *yawn*

    It's been a long day. We took almost £100 this morning, so that's all good :T Mr Dog was getting huge amounts of attention and loving it. I was going to start charging for petting, I think we could have paid off our mortgage if I had :D

    I do think it's slightly concerning how many people will just let their children run up to a strange dog and pet it though without asking. Our dog is the softest touch going, and loves children, but they don't know that!

    I had quite a nice lazy afternoon to myself as DH went out. Sat in the sun for an hour or so with a book :D, did a few dishes and made another snowglobe :T This one hasn't worked out quite so well sadly, as my glitter seems to be defying gravity and floats upwards :huh: That didn't happen with the other one :think:

    I've popped 20-odd items on ebay for DH, and I've sold a book on amazon :T

    I'm going to have an early night tonight, and settle in bed with a book I think.

    Hope everyone has a good evening :)

    It really sounds like you had a fab day :T

    :eek: to children running up to strange dogs - yes i would be concerned too - i remember when me and OH met a huge dog - he was bear sized i'm sure - and i checked with his owner who was lovely and reassured me he was very friendly before proceeding to give him a little stroke :)

    Well done on your sale on amaz*n - i sold something on there at the weekend - do you think it would be ok for me to post this tomorrow? Have already just spent ages putting in a query with them about something else entirely x

    Hi DDFW,

    I don't mind if they ask, but do mind particularly when the children are little brats and teasing him (at which point they politely get told where to go :D)

    Well done on your sale! You get two working days to post something so tomorrow will be fine.

    Thank you :)

    I am absolutely exhausted this morning, haven't been sleeping well so that hasn't helped.

    I'm really achey too, so all that bending and lifting yesterday must have done me some good :D

    Hope you had a nice weekend PG :)
