That should have them spitting feathers nicely! :rotfl:

Sorry I am posting disjointedly, just read the post about the £5 off £40 till spits, when I did vouchers SA said you can use as many as you want so no need to split into £40 shops.
Also I looked an idiot the other day, I was speaking to a friend who said "yeah but no but yeah" and straight away I came out with you sound like nikkilala (instead of vicky pollard) she looked at me like I was crazy I just mumbled sorry private joke

sending hugs to 3dogs and mr 3dogs.
I know a bit of the decision you have to make about the dogs, my late DH and I had a similar decision to make about ours because he wasn't able to deal with her as she pulled a lot and he wasn't able to walk far with her but she needed a lot of exercise and he didn't think it would be fair on her losing out on the running.
We decided the best thing short term was to build her a run in the garden (filled most of it!) so DH could take her out for short periods to burn off some energy and also meant that he would be slowly building up his strength. I used to come in after my shift to find them both fast asleep on the sofa with the dogs head on DHs stomach facing his face, she always slept like that with him
We also had a few people who could call in a few times a week to take her out to run off a good bit of energy so that helped a lot.
Hope you get things sorted with them and I know whatever the decision it'll be the right on for all of you. Just wish I lived closer cause I've done this for several neighbours who have been in your situation. Thinking about you.SPC #329 £471/£500 banked

Evening Everyone, hope you are all ok, Hugs to those who are having a bad time. Just managed to catch up it seems to have taken a couple of days! I did manage to pop out and get a couple of £1 items yesterday, but my DH has now banned me from buying any more fabric conditioner and cleaning 'stuff'!! I think I have become a bit OCD about it to be fair, I know someone mentioned this a couple of threads ago but I have got to the stage I don't want to use my stash and am a little put out when I use one and have to go and get another from my haul. Must remember I bought it to use it and save me money
.
Not sure if anyone is interested but M&S have an offer on their womens personalised jeans. You choose the style, the colour, the fit and the length. They are normally £29.99 , but have £14.50 off at the moment. Don't know what they are like but I have ordered 3 so will let you know when they come. If you do order more than one pair it only takes off 1 discount so I had to call for them to do it manually.If it wasn't for blinds it'd be curtains for all of us:dance:0 -

Urgh - If this was a face-to -face convo I would know how to sort it, but online things can be so easily misconstrued!
I really don't want to end up making life hard for my bro either - i'm just not sure how it all blew up like this in a matter of hours!
I think you should be the bigger person here and tell her you are sorry if you've unintentionally offended her.
You will be the better person for doing this and if nothing else, your brother will see that you're not out to cause trouble.....unlike his new lady love
If she's as vile as you say she is, hopefully your brother will come to his senses and the romance will be short lived.My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.0 -
Haven't learnt how to multi quote so forgive me!PrettyFaerie wrote: »Hi guys
I know you give such wonderful advice, so I wondered if anyone had an pearls of wisdom to shower on a ridiculous situation I now find myself in.
My brother (we're both 30ish) has recently met a new woman, and has been posting sappy messages on FB for the past few weeks. As his sister I thought it my duty to give him a bit of a ribbing over it, so posted some cheeky (I thought funny) comments on his posts about him having had a labotomy and needed to get out more etc etc.
Anyway, now I've got his new missus and her sister sending me the most abusive and disgusting messages :eek: . I never meant to upset anyone, but at the same time, their messages have now put me in the mood for a fight :mad: .
I think she's quite young (read early twenties) and defo not from the UK, so it may be a language barrier thing. But I'm stumped as to what to do.
I've spent the last few hours trying to ignore it, but it's making me really cross. your thoughts would be most welcome. TIA (",)
I would ignore the new GF, explain to your brother that you were commenting in jest and you meant nothing by it. Tell him that you think she (and her vile sister!) must've got the wrong end of the stick, and you don't understand where the hostilities are coming from. *innocent face*!I've had probs with my furture SIL for years, I keep my brother sweet, because he's family, and that cannot be replaced.
3 dogs -You have been an absolute inspiration to me over the short time I've been here. Your strength amazes me. With regards to your precious pooch, (Bess? Sorry if I've got that wrong) I'd echo what everyone else has said about friends / family / neighbours /foster peeps. I have a springer, nutty, needs loads of exercise, but I ended up in hosp lat year, major surgery. He had an accident himself at the time and needed a leg amputating
. He had complications in surgery and we were told to prepare for the worst. Tough cookie though, he made it, but needs lots of care. This was just as I'd made it out of hospital myself and 2 days before DH and I were getting married :eek: . We still got married and had a fab day. Jeff the 3 legged springer is still with us. I'll continue to have health problems but my entire outlook on life has changed. If you do decide to rehome her, don't feel guilty, do what's best for YOU BOTH. Take care and my thoughts are honestly with you.
Sorry for waffling, and I hope no-one minds me intruding like this (as a newbie!) but I just wanted to give my support. :AGwrys yn Kernow! :j0 -
gonna say good night all!
DS still isn't too well, running a temp and has slept a good bit this evening after going wardrobe shopping for his hopefully new bedroom, fingers XedSo not had any time for myself today at all and now going to watch NCIS and possibly Being Human if I don't fall asleep before that.
