Spi am just going to get her now, she woke up singing ninety nine bottles of beer on the wall too, so they think I should get the pleasure of her singing voice.

As we knew, exactly the same fracture, into three pieces, but sadly this time more fractured and complex. So this leg is even more bionic than the other one.

Tomorrow I need to find a playpen to keep her in I think, while she recovers, because surgeon thinks we should try and get through the recovery time with no dressing changes, very, very hard with greyhound skin which is very fragile.


Thanks for the good wishes, they helped a lot. I hope she let's me sleep a little more tonight though!

Glad the op sounds like it went ok. Hope she makes a good recovery

Ooh, exciting! Hope the flatlet hunting goes well

It's not done so far..... £600-700/month for a 1-bed .... and of those I have assorted issues over them ..... hope this won't all end in tears

£700-800/month for rent/CT before you've even turned a light on .... really rips up your takehome pay You can see why benefits is so exciting and something to aspire to

Well, I hope you find something great and under budget. If not, at least you'll have your own space.

having your own space is worth it though isn't it?

I'm feeling totally swimmingly overwhelmed with work at the moment. Making no headway but I think I am just burying my head so will crack on...

dentist this morning. two fillings, although one of them was only replacing an old filling wot had fallen out.

the dentist put so much anaesthetic into my face that i couldn't feel my nose, and at one point my left eye would not blink. when i got to work i looked like i had had a stroke, and my manager laughed at me when i tried to talk.

can i sue him?

Not sure that good looks and the gift of the gab are a protected characteristics , so he can probably treat you as he likes if mocking you when yours were temporarily spoilt.

Dog dog sleeping on the day bed now.

More disasters at the Wreck site,.....too tired to go through them, some good things though.

The French windows I insisted on, with the panels at the bottom, they are stunning, I love them.. My favourite thing.

Good news on Dog Dog. Confining him to a play pen is probably best to aid a speedy recovery. I have never thought of a play pen before when we have had injured dogs - I will remember that.

Focusing on the good things...I admire the glass half full approach, I really see nothing to be gained from being an Eeyore.

Is it the one near the little local shopping precinct? (she says, trying to be vague)...

It is about twice as far from the shops as the one where the schitzo neighbour stabbed the single mother to death before her teenage son killed him defending himself.

I was working on two different customer projects today - in years gone by I could have switched my brain from one to the other like that - now I can't actually be brain in gear on either project - I think having kids reduces your IQ by about 50 points and I didn't have many points to spare before

That's the one I was thinking of. I know someone who lives there and they say it has actually become a lot easier place to live, but it is terribly sad.

I have had a sh it week. I have a new area manager who tried to make my team take responsibility for solving an ongoing problem at another location. I have spent the entire week exchanging verbal crossfire interspersed with over polite emails cc'ing everyone at head office.
I seem to be winning this one but it doesn't fill me with confidence as to the future
