Housetraining a puppy.......concrete is at least mop-a-ble.

We bought weewee pads from pets@home once. Utterly useless for westie. He thought it was a toy and kept raving around the place with weewee pads in his snout.
He quickly got potty trained though, first in a corner on a newspaper and quickly after nicely outside.

I want cheques enclosed with my texts. How does this feature work?

They've been done separately, Spirit.

We didn't actually ask for anything, it was a goodwill gesture as Santander wanted our business, and as such, have offered to provide £16.8m in the form of a new loan over 5 years, and a £8m revolving credit facility, to facilitate us working with children in Krasnoyarsk (Russia), Chisanu (Moldova), Kiev and Odessa (Ukraine), Belgrade and Pancevo (Serbia) and Baku (Azerbaijan). We're keeping our banking with HSBC.

We've effectively doubled the size of the company overnight, and are opening seven new sites over the next 12 months, which can help almost 500 young artists compete into the market.

I said to someone earlier today (I'm in Amsterdam now) that I'm no longer in this game for the money, and as part of the condition of the financing, I'm agreeing to personally guarantee an amount that would leave me bankrupt, whilst working with children from some of the most disadvantaged regions of Europe.

I'll speak to you guys later!

It's a bit soggy out there!

Kids fed, fire on, blanket on, lights low, beaujolais in glass, need to think about feeding the grown ups. I have a duck to roast or last night's spaghetti meatballs to stttrrreeetch out

Kitchen's a bit of a mess but if I sit with my back to it, I can't see it

Anything worth watching on TV?

H is in bed, thinks he made himself sick on paint thinners.

For the first time since I've been in Aus I'm in a position where I'm solvent and happy as I am.

In addition I have 2 jobs that I may or may not get, either of which would mean a substantial increase in income.

The extra money of the job I've applied for would be great but TBH my current job is pushing me down a similar path and may well end in a similar place.

Thank you to you and everyone else for your support. It helps a lot.

I wish all our posts could read along the lines of this one.

Well Done, Genno ; it sounds like I can save sending the luck for another day if it's currently with you. :A

I may be going off line for a while. Power out today, and winds picking up more, our electricity supply is very likely to go out. If it does know that we are fine, just without electric, which might be quite fun this weekend. .

If it does go off they might fix it quite quickly because the bad weather's supposed to be past tense by midnight or so.

I can't recall ever having a power cut at "my house". I've been at the houses of others who had them - and even here for 4 hours last month - but not when I am at "my house".

Maybe she's lost confidence in her ability to tell which blokes are the type you can trust and which aren't. I know I worry about that for myself. Not that I actually manage to meet any possibles, so it's purely academic.



My kids are big fans of Simon's Cat.

I was at an event last week where there was a lady that runs a dating website specifically for (single) Christians. Would you dare try that kind of thing?

Some of you might remember, 3 years ago I went to that London place for 24 hours.... we went for the nearest pub lunch (I was at Vauxhall Bridge).... and my friend from NY, USA took a snap of his dinner....

Well, he's just announced that it's appeared on the front page of the flickr photo stream for /EnglishFood/Interesting. Not a great accolade.... and I won't send you to flickr to paw through and see it (especially as these things are a moving target and this time next week it might not be on the front page any more).

So here it is .... some chips my mate had in London when I was sitting at the same table: http://www.flickr.com/photos/64746955@N00/4185794590

I had the same dinner and it was washed down by a bottle of Magners.

When we moved here we had 2 in 2 weeks, was beginning to worry. Then no problem for 6 years, then 2 in the last 2 weeks.

I know some people who have tried the jewish dating site, jdate, some successfully, some not so. But it does mean you are starting from a base with certain boxes already ticked.
