    Hey guys,
    well my dog has something wrong with her spine :( something that can't be fixed, but can be controlled. Guess old age brings on these things.

    Sorry to hear that Nicola. At least your dog can be made a little more comfortable now the problem has been diagnosed.

    Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

    At least your dog will be able to feel better now you know what's wrong with her and can do something, Nicola. Hope things are better soon.

    Just eating a nice piece of apple tea loaf - made my first banana tea loaf last week with bananas that had gone too soft - this week I had some old apples so I used the same recipe but stuck apples in instead - very nice too and stops me buying liquorice allsorts!!!!!!!!:rotfl:

    Good luck for tomorrow everyone and have a good evening.

    Eek.... have to go into town today to get some work tops and shoes, but I'm claiming back the money so it's not really mine I'm spending!!

    Yesterday was a success, I didn't spend money on anything I didn't need .... so day 2 should be ok, unless I get drawn into the childrens clothes sections!!

    Have a good day all xx

    Nicola - good luck at the docs, sorry to hear your doggy got back problem, glad can be controlled tho x

    Hi Tigzem, I got the recipe off the old style section but if you can't find it I'll type it out later.

    sorry to hear about your dog nicola :(

    decided to sign up for the unnecessary challenge that CAFC girl is running - it allows you £10 a week to spend. i feel like i am letting you guys down cause i keep spending the odd £1 here and there and this challenge isnt about that.

    maybe see you over there?

    Been to town to buy my work clothes.... was very good and didn't spend money on anything I didn't need......oh apart from Creme Eggs, a box of 4 reduced down to 34p..... couldn't leave them there. They looked sad as they'd been reduced so much..... so it was save an Egg day and that's necessary.... right???

    Oh ok then I'll update my sig..... failed on day 2!!! :rotfl:
