    As promised. So I had some beautiful pots with plants in. Sid likes plants. This is the result...

    Oh, and as he's a water dog with webbed feet, he got 'clean' wading in the fishpond.

    Hope the interview goes well - fingers and toes crossed for you. Agree the hairdresser spend was a very good investment.

    Love the Colin and the bird table tale. I had to do a double take when looking out the window one day as the cat from over the road was perched on the bird table :eek:. Happily he is svelte and small so didn't get wedged. Had your neighbour put out scraps which attracted Colin? The over the road cat had smelled left over fish and chips that I'd put out and come to help himself ;);)

    How useful, a keen gardener in the family :rotfl::rotfl:

    Adorable, he makes me want a dog too... [but I'm glad I didn't have to clean up after him, or clean him, come to that....]

    I meant to say, I finally picked up my tablets yesterday, so I am now on the upped dosage. Hopefully, I'll have a bit more 'up and go' soon.

    I'll make an effort to lose the weight the wrong dose has caused me to gain after Christmas, not a lot of point before :rotfl:

    Today there's Pr£t and tomorrow the interview. I got a bit stressed about it last night looking at all the questions I might be asked. The when I looked back at the job role realised I could do it....I'll do a final marry up between the job role and CV tonight.

    Must go and get ready, be back later this afternoon.
