If you like analysing dreams you would have a field day with mine, last night dreamt I was on a train and David Cameron was there and was going to ask him questions but never got round to it, next day same thing but we were on a coach, but we got caught up cos he entered an ice cream eating contest, but super rich ice cream and he was really struggling and we were both laughing so much as I was egging him on, !!!!!! is that all about :rotfl:
4 possible explanations:
1. Train/coach with David Cameron. You/we (i.e. the country) are on a journey with DC but he's not in control (assuming he wasn't driving). Not actually getting anywhere/accomplishing anything. Super rich iceecream - you think he's a super rich greasy smoothie. Him laughing - at us being taken in by him? You egging him on - guess you voted Tory last time and still support them but with reservations?
2. You fancy David Cameron.
3. Too much cheese.
4. You're just a bit odd really.
1. Very much tongue in cheek but with elements of truth - but the way to analyse your dreams is to describe it to a Martian who has no idea of who/what anyone/anything is. Train/coach - probably significant you had 2 forms of travel - choice of journeys/paths etc? What is a train/coach? What do you use them for? Any good/bad associations for you? David Cameron - who is he? What is a politican? What is he like (physically and personality & background)? Who else do you know like that - could your dream be about them? What other conversations are you avoiding by doing light hearted stuff? Who are you encouraging to do something frivolous/wrong/avoid? What is icecream? What is a contest? etc etc.
If you write down your answers to all that you may well get an 'aha' moment. And if your brain is really trying to tell you something it will have another exciting tale awaiting you

Glad to hear you have some work at the stables, it all helps with the coffers doesnt it ! Dont envy you all that hard work though.
How is Bear doing today ?
New Leaf,the Ebay App is really easy. Infact it the only reason I have been ebaying my little heart out these days as its so simple. I take the photos with my camera, email them to myself on the the ipad, save them, then I find something similar already up for sale, hit the Sell One Like This Button, then its easy peasy from there. Mine is the original ipad, so if you have a newer one, then you could take the photos with that and upload from there. It really is very very simple and easy to use !
Welcome home by the way, it only seems like yesterday you left. Best I pop over to your diary to see how you are doing xxLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Goodness, it's been busy on here!
I have had quite a day, where shall I begin?
The vet check-up for the Bear. Everything is healing up nicely and he only has two days of tuna pate left. No more medicine = no more pate!
Unfortunately, on the way to the surgery, it all got a bit much for the Bear and he had an accident. Not too bad, although the smell was bad, the veterinary nurse cleaned him up and gave me fresh newspaper for the cat basket.
On the way home the Bear exploded. Liquid pooh all over him. Oh yuk yuk yuk.... The smell was formidable and was clearly interfering with his version of the aria from the Magic Flute. :eek:
I got the cat basket to the lobby of my house and without thinking things through opened it. He shot out, tail, covered in sh*t lashing, spraying sh*t up the walls, front door, me, him, mats, floor......If the Bear had a waist he would have been covered in sh*t from the waist down....
I had to rugby tackle him down, tuck him under my arm and sprint for the bathroom. Strangely, he was not so keen on the bathroom as he had been last week. With him still tucked under my arm and yowling at the top of his voice, I ran the bath and put him in. Expecting at any minute to be seriously injured by claws and his remaining teeth, I soaped him down with baby shampoo. He escaped. Soap and sh*t up the tiles... I had to do the unthinkable, and turned the shower on him - from the waist down. Threw a couple of towels round him and hugged him to get rid of the excess water.
Once I let him go he stalked off with a rat's tail of a tail lashing madly and madly rumpled fur. I have not got a scratch on me!
Then I had to do a lot of cleaning. The lobby, the hall, up the stairs, the bathroom, the cat basket, the car seat, me. Full washing machine load of towels and an invitation to my neighbour to come round and tell me if my house smelled of cat sh*t.
Almost straightaway I had to go to the yard to do an afternoon's slave labour for a tenner, still wondering if the Bear would still be living with me when I returned.
The Bear does not seem to be bearing me any grudge and is very affectionate. I suspect he is trying to lull me into a false sense of security so that I will not see the cat hit men until it is too late.Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Oh my, poor Bear those antibiotics must be doing him no favours some nice natural yoghurt might help?
Whilst I confess i did giggle at the mental image you have conjured up I feel for you, what a disaster of a day. Surely the yard need to pay you more than that for the hours you do?
I have a dog currently chewing his paws , not sure why and he runs away from me to continue chewing and licking the paws ... Time for an investigate I think!Start info Dec11 :eek:

What a total nightmare day ! I have just posted my whingy post moaning about my day on my diary, but I think I should delete it as yours has most definitely been the day from hell.:eek: I'm not good with dodgy smells of any kind , so would have been dying inside had I had to deal with what you have today. Poor old you, oh andof course Bear, but I'm afraid its you I feel most sorry for on this occasion.LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
