    CY glad you have a working loo again
    id leave it till they go as well LW, youll only have to to it again tomorrow ayway and the dyson will upset them so leave it a day.

    DS1 went into the kitchen to get a drink earlier and a glass tumbler leapt out of the cupboard threw itself on the wroksurface ad shattered all over the worksurface and floor. worksurfaes cleared and washed down kitchen floor swept again and just about to run the dyson through before mopping.
    its my friends fault i told her me and DH had both broke bowls this week and she said id et a 3rd smash before the week was out.
    Thanks Lou!!!!!!

    Thanks for the reassurance - it doesn't really sit right with me to leave a carpet in such obvious need of doing, but in this instance, it makes total sense. They're both moulting like crazy - I have given them both a good going over with their grooming tool; Cassie would be groomed all day given the chance, but Bailey isn't so keen, so I can only do him for a short time before he's had enough. They're being picked up at 16:30 tomorrow, so I'll do the carpet then.;)

    ETA If anyone's interested, here they are:

    Bailey's the Border Collie on the left, Cassie's described as a "Lurcher X Whippet".
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    You have to continuously chase them for everything. I have written to them, sent them forms, completed questionnaires, sent them photos that they requested - EVERYTHING...

    They write to KH...he ignores them and the NEVER follow up...

    EVER!

    You have to ask them to follow up... but then 10 years later, im still waiting for some money :mad:

    IVe found it more effective if you write to them though instead of calling. The seem to deal with written requests and complaints far quicker than phonecalls.

    Thats just my personal experience though - but keep at them.

    I just gave up for a few years, here and there, and then would call again.

    Finally I wrote to them and suddenly they are on the case.... Watch this space!

    Oh well I won't be gettung anything from the cretin then because I simply do not have the time to chase them constantly.
    What to do ............

    DD is due her 2nd HPV jab next week but now I'm thinking of withdrawing my consent, there seem to be alot of scary stories around but she's already had the 1st jab and was ok - yes I know I should of researched it 1st!!! It only last as a preventitive for 4-6 years and hopefully DD isn't going to go around having lots of sex with lots of boys before she's 16 so what is the point of it? I get what it does but what I don't seem to be able to find out is why at the age of 12 its so important - if she was 18 or so I'd seriously be considering it but do the risks outweigh the good things at her age - ponder, worry, worry!!

    I disagree with vaccinating on the whole but after 2 of my sisters and my mother has CIN3 and my mothers was cancerous before they were 25 they had them with no ill effects and none of the girls in either of their years had any issues either.
    You can withdraw consent but if she still wants the jab they will over rule you because she is able to choose for herself.

    Piggers - I'd hang on to your Victorian one - they were made to last ( unlike mine...)...

    It's awful, the glaze has come off below the water line so it is all brown and manky no matter how much you scrub.. but it works at the moment so is staying.

    Thanks for the replies everyone - I'm still undecided but may just let it happen as she's already had 1 jab of 3

    Been to look at the next school for DD - will visit another on Sat and another on 25th, so thats 2 done and 2 to go, went to a school very near you Lamewolf - Hazeley - very nice, yet another decision I have to make - wish I could just flip coins and go from there

    Back garden still looks nice, even in the rain, can't say the same about the house and DH has just got home from work and is poorly again!! I think I'm now as fed up with him as he is with himself lol
