    :eek: to a duet - that way lies bleeding ears methinks :rotfl:. Mr A is a fine snorer as well and even when he's not asleep he sometimes whistles through his nose!

    I'll get the info re teeth plaque and PM you - might take me a couple of days but I won't forget.

    Naughty Captain in the mud - does he think Shetland ladies find that attractive or summat?

    The Bear whistles through his nose too! and he huffs. I still laugh at the remedy the vet recommended for his snoring!

    The Shetland lady herself likes a bit of a roll in the mud, less of her to clean though :rotfl:

    The plaque info will be useful. I hope it doesn't involve tablets as I may be hospitalised...

    sounds like the Captain has had a fine time of late with his mud baths lol glad it also gave you some fun with giving him a shower or two lol

    one of my cats was so stupid (no finer way of saying it) that, after the older cat teaching him about mice's and how you catch and play with them - always on dead ones at this stage, the first time that he caught his own mouse he put it down expecting it to stay there and when it scarpered off into the border and then i'm guessing the next door field he didn't 'get it' so just sat there for the rest of the afternoon waiting for it to come back out to play. To be honest it was probably off telling it's mates how this dopey cat let it go thinking that it would just stop there, der!

    Oh bless the silly cat! It's the downside of the Bear, the bringing home of his victims, not very endearing. I've just shouted at him at stopped him hunting something in the garden. He's now very pointedly sitting with his back to me :rotfl:

    Mrs PG is missing. I hope she reappears soon.

    I haven't taken the Captain out hacking as I'm afraid of drivers skidding into us with all the water on the roads. We have access to an indoor menage, so I can still ride.

    I am wearing a thick winter jumper to avoid putting the heating on!

    Well that's one way of beating the chill! We women have some design faults, don't we?

    Glad to hear that you are still being able to get out and ride. I did have to laugh at Captain being covered in mud. At least my little bunny doesn't have that problem lol.

    Any news on the job front. I too am searching. Send some cv's off but not heard anything back. I think i hate that more than a thanks not thanks letter..

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    He is very high maintenance! It's all the long white hair - complete nightmare:eek:

    I agree. It is rude and very disheartening to hear nothing back. For one thing you don't know where, if anywhere, you are going wrong. A little feedback would go a long way. When you spend an hour or more customising a cv and writing a fitting cover letter, you at least deserve a reply.

    Small rant over! Guess who's going to the job centre today?

    Grr to lots of white hair, lucky that the new horse has mainly black mane, but too many white patches on her body! And the fact that she is unhandled and not too used to grooming, but her neck is lovely and managed to get a few brushes on her tummy yesterday so getting there slowly :)

    Good luck at the job centre today and hope it isnt too bad!
