Very heavy rain this morning so I didn't bother going down to the car boot but had a nice lie-in and then went over to see Mr 3Dogs about 3pm to 5.30 pm. He is looking more himself every day now :j :j but still puss coming out of the drain from the abcess and, as this is something the doc said he needed to check before sending him home, I don't know if he will be home tomorrow. Also, he is still on the thick fluid drip although the flow through his bag is getting better i.e. slower. Mr 3Dogs is very bored and wants to get home now, but he thinks he may be kept in another day or two. Well, we will know when doc does his rounds tomorrow morning and then Mr 3Dogs will ring me

As well as the heavy rain, it started to snow about 4 pm :eek: though back to just rain by 6 pm. I am having great trouble selecting the gears in the van. This started before the boys came to help, but we went over to hospital in their car for the 3 days they were here. Today, the gears needed forced in and I could only use 2nd, 4th and 5th, having to pull away in 2nd. Even worse coming home. I had forgotten to buy loo roll and been without for 3 days except for Andrex Moist and a couple of Andrex on the Go , so pulled into Tesco garage at Wisbech and was just going into the small forecourt shop whwn I remembered that I had left my purse at home, so got back into car to go straight home ....... but the car wouldn't start. Battery flat? So I called breakdown service who were there withing half an hour. Of course the van started stright away when he asked me to try it He checked fluid levels which were all fine, and, after trying the gears himself, decided that clutch cable about to go He offered to put van on truck and drive me home but agreed to follow me home instead, which he did, with no problems. He has advised me to not drive van until clutch seen to, but a mate has offered to look at it for me on Tuesday, so he can hopefully fix it if it is, as Mr 3Dogs thinks, just an adjustment of the clutch cable that's needed. Fingers crossed ;)

When I was at hospital we discussed the dogs and Mr 3Dogs still felt that we needed to rehome both Billy and Bess, though the thought of it distressed him greatly. He said he'd been struggling with them lately as they pull and are strong, so hard work to walk. But, after a friend visited him tonight and talked to him about it, he now agrees with me that it would only be fair to get Bess home and give it a try :j :j

I also raised with him that he will soon have to decide whether to have chemo, with it's side effects, or refuse it and just get on with what time he has left. As I said, he doesn't need to decide yet, until we talk to the oncologist, but he has to start thinking about it, and he does understand the pros and cons of having the treatment i.e. quality of life. I would point out that he was more upset talking about the dogs than talking about the impending decision on whether on not to have chemo

Anyway, I am going to do a bit of furniture moving in the bedroom now, to make it easier for him, so I may not get much catching up done tonight and I do miss reading up on here in the evening

If it was me, I'd sod the chemo. Why bother with it making me tired and sick all the time all for the sake of two or three extra months. I'd spend a couple of months at home recuperating and selling all my belongings then spending the money I got from them, and my savings on seeing some more of the world.:beer:

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.

I would agree, perhaps send her a PM and tell her you will post an apology on FB. Even if you don't really want to, it will be easier for you in the long run if you have got to face her in a few weeks time. Just let her know that this is the sort relationship you have with your brother, that you both tease each other. Hope that she accepts this is the manner it is meant.

That's what my partner says, but I've never even met this girl and I probably will have to soon as my other brother's wife is having a baby in 4 weeks.

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 guess it depends how much you value your brothers friendship. Mine has not spoken to me for two years after I voiced my opinion of his life choice. Think about it over night see how you feel in the morning x

So you still have no loo roll? :eek: Can we all send you a pack of Andrex on the Go through the post?

We should get enough to you to last a few weeks, unless you got round to buying those prunes

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.

:A

Thank you all (and everyone else who has given advice). I thin apologies are the way to go (even though I don't feel like I've done anything wrong). I'll leave judgement until I've actually met her, not that I'm expecting much better than I've seen online!

You guys rock :cool:

Who was it that posted a few days ago about doing a pricematch shop at S's with the SSM coupons...? Has anybody used their vouchers successfully (and by this I mean with minimal cash outlay:p) at Mr S?

:(:(

The man up stairs, who knows I don't like going out asked me out for a pint earlier. I keep telling him no whenever he asks. I, and the girl downstairs have explained to him in the past as to why. He just doesn't get it though. Every time I turn him down he does his best to !!!! me off by stomping around, constantly flushing the toilet (OCD) and turning his music up loud.
