Went for lecture then to bank and got money out to pay kennels. The cheque I gave them for gang when at Crufts had done a tigger ( bounced) wanted to put it right . Kennels pleased that I had gone as they had just received the letter telling them so all now good
Went to SM too I had 12 vouchers for £1 off Philly cheese - priced at 98p so got 10 for free !! Still got 2 vouchers left . Plan to make sauces with them - they are best before June - happy days
Then went and priced fence panels - going to have to wait but least I have an idea of how much
Went to B+Q and got rawl plugs and drill bit came home and put curtain rail back up
Had tea and watched tv - didn't feel like I had done much but writing it down it's a fair bit
Back to work tomorrow

Still waiting on one cheque which hasn't arrived yet (sigh) but at least the dd are now covered and there's no more letters re bank charges .
Was at dog show at weekend with the wee dogs - one didn't get placed but the other got first in hers ( she was then beaten for best of breed -oh well) . Won't show under that judge again as she gave the award to her friends dog ( so I was told by another competitor) . I don't mind when my dog is beaten fair and square but it does irk a bit when its who's holding the lead.
Got a show every weekend in April so hope to get the remaining points for her to get the ShCM ( you get a point for best of breed and then further points for places in the group ) she only needs 7 often another dig beats her but he wasn't there . Oh well maybe next time
Weather here has been fab. At the end of the summer show circuit I had to put my van awning away while it was wet. Well today has been the first day when it's been dry enough to put it up when ivecbeen off. Was dreading finding it mouldy but it was fine . Left it up to properly air for 3 hrs before folding it back up ( am pleased its fine as it wasnt cheap and can't afford a new one . I've holidays the last week in April so if weathers good may go for a few days near a beach and use the awning to camp. It does depend on whether it'll be warm enough tho . I know the dogs would love it and to behonest do would i

Yoday has been another good day! Emptied the garden store of all the carp, moved it sorted out the carp and filled it again ( oh well) also did 2 loads of washing which I hung outside and washed one of the dog beds . Pay day tomorrow - need to get brush to sweep patio so won't be a no spend day . Also need to get fuel ( routine not because of the threat of industrial action) Cheque finally arrived from scot power so also went to bank and put it into the bills account . Got back had tea and got ready fir work . Its been a fabulous sunny day today again Ward is ROASTING - heating is still on ( either on or off as system is so old) so everyone is cooking! We are due to move to a new building in June so hopefully we won't have the same problem - building nearing completion (. Being built) .

All in all you work a very long day/night Dane!

Good news about the cheque arriving, that's a weight off your mind at least.

Your plans for going away with the van at the end of April's a good idea, let's keep fingers crossed that the weather holds.

Driving home yesterday was scarey- got off work late and got caught up in rush hour traffic - finally got to the M8 . During the last 5 min of the journey fighting to stay awake! Got home fed dogs had drink of tea and then off to bed. The wee ones come up with me and sleep beside me the big ones stay downstairs ( did try them with me before but got no sleep as kept jumping on me thinking it was a new game lol) slept til 1pm when postie delivered mail which set big ones barking back to bed with book slept til 3 up and put was out to dry checked show entries for next month had cuppa and then off to work. Can't believe the heat - forecast is that supposed to get cooler at weekend just when my days off are - glad I've got so much done the last few days ( work hard , play hard it's more fun - maybe that should be my moto)ward fine ATM on break

Wow you have been busy congrats on the pup getting through again, you're doing so well with them and boo to the judge being so unfair hate it when things like that happen

You've tired me out reading how much you've been up to whilst I've been away. Hope you're having a good week and managed to find some sunshine at the weekend x

Well it's been a busy time again . On Sunday got up at 6bathed dogs ready for show . Had cuppa and then drove to the venue. When I arrived met the show manager to be told that he had never received the entry . Was a sunny day with blue sky's so too hot to hang around Nd there was no point in staying so went home. Let dogs in garden did 2 loads if washing and hung it outside to dry . Washed kitchen floor . Was supposed to get a special trolley for the small dogs to travel to the shows in ( someone was selling theirs second hand - new they are £800 and using it for £350 ) As I wasn't staying had to reorganise when to get it. Got it today and it's immaculate. The wee ones will be travelling in style. It ales means that I won't need to take grooming table into the show. Went to see about getting biofuel for my van to find they were sold out ( grrr) going back tomorrow to get it. Then got call from the agency I work for offering me a shift . Went home got uniform ready organised dogs and then off to the nursing home . Working from 2045 - 0745 and will get paid for it next week so not bad. There are 19 residents on the floor I'm working on and there are 2 of us so it's fine . Everything is settled ATM will hit rush hour tomorrow going home . Will sort out dogs then go and get the fuel. I'm not working tomorrow ( tues) as the Dane in finals competition at ring raft. Every week we have class learning how to show the dog in the ring - its also good for socialising them . Every month they have an outsider come in to judge and at the end of the year the winners go against each other . That is tomorrow . Wish me luck . I do know there are cracking dogs that will be against him do will have to see.
Got to go now as got checks and turns to do - will let you know how we do

Well we got beat in the first round ! Oh well it was all good fun tho and it was good to have a night off working . Got up this morning washed one of the dog beds did another load of washing third in machine swept livingroom floor and dusted the surfaces . Sorted out papers shredded those I no longer need to keep and filed the rest. The fence in garden down again so propped it back up . Within min down again so used some wire fence pan eps I had made out of mesh and 4x4 to replace panels . It's now staying in place . Am hoping to replace the whole lot soon and then I won't have the headache of it falling down again . My neighbour complained when dogs jumped previous fence into his garden ( which I paid for when previous one fell down due to rot) told me it was my problem as I chose to have dogs and hasn't given a penny towards it or helped me with it . I'm sure he's called SSPCA as well so can't wait til I can get a more permanent solution . Just waiting til I can get supplies. Just having cuppa before continuing with the cleaning. What fun
