Rising to the top of the ocean - and staying afloat!

Hi Robin :hello:lovely to see you:D

I do have a Dyson already but it's too heavy which is why I need / want the new one ..... I really, really struggle to get it up / down the stairs so these are hardly ever getting hoovered (and with 3 of the hairy people, it's not good!)

I will be keeping the big one as it will clean better than the small one but to be able to have a quick once over every day would be fantastic!:)

I hadn't thought about the weight of the casserole pots until Beanielou mentioned it but I will need to have a think as the old hands don't grip that well (and hate the thought of a lovely cooked casserole ending up on the floor:eek:)

Will start looking at Free*cycle again .... haven't been on for ages - ours is a very small group and I get a bit frustrated by 1 or 2 people who want very specific things eg washing machine wanted - must be silver ..... if you're WM is broken, surely anything will do!:mad:

Photos - you need to upload them to a pic hosting site (eg Photobucket) and then choose the "direct link" code, copy it and then go to your post and click on the image icon (looks a bit like a yellow envelope with mountains & a stamp on ) and then paste the link in. HTH

I'm chuckling away here - I gave Maisie her bone a while ago to keep her occupied and honestly it's a full body workout :rotfl:and the grunts coming out of her :eek: She's obviously enjoying it and hopefully her teeth will be nice & clean at the end of it!:D

I have a shih tzu and he does the same, it's hilarious, but then again he does the same with the jumbone minis :rotfl:

I'm trying a new tactic with spending money this month - have put £50 into the new basic account and that's all the cash I'm allowed.:eek:

Going to try with £10 / week & £10 for emergencies - not going to touch the main account (with the huge OD I'm trying to clear) at all!:eek:

Awwww, I've never really been a small dog person IYKWIM but recently I've been looking at them and thinking mmmmmm actually .....

I'd love another to keep Maisie company - but it would have to be a small dog as couldn't cope with 2 her size!:eek:

Top of the list is a Dachshund my Aunt's had them for years and one of my neighbours has a wire haired one and she's got the most amazing character:), then there's the shih tzu or a Lhasa apso .... just not sure I could cope with all the grooming!

To be fair magic goes to a groomer once every six weeks and we split the cost amongst the house...a tenner. The only thing he needs is a brush every once in a while, but lhazas are much more difficult to groom I've heard

I'm the same with those lovely casserole dishes you're on about...way too heavy for me too but beautiful to look at.
You're dog is beautiful..what lovely photos it looks like she was having lots of fun

Thanks Taxi it's lovely to have her home!:D

We'll be going for an action replay very shortly - it's only a few miles down the road & fab as she can run around and get rid of some of her energy:) as I can't walk that far as yet!:(

Really need to change the towels / bedding in the car (after 1 outing:eek:) but think I'll hold off until we've been this afternoon or there will be another set to do!:rotfl:
