What time are porkys coming in these days?

I put 4 in the other day and got 2 back a few hours later, 1 the next day and still waiting for the other.
T's being consistent as always.

Thankyou all so much, for your kind and loving words and all the hugs.xxx You really are all:A

My tears have just about stopped now, but my heart is still heavy.:(

Even with the other 4 dogs bounding around, the house somehow seems empty with out Loopy.

She had suffered with IBS for a number of years, but it was quite well controlled with steroids.

For the past couple of weeks she had started getting a bit lethargic but nothing specific. She was still eating and drinking well and bossing the other dogs around.

On sunday she didn't eat very much and her tail was down and she looked really depressed.

By Monday morning she had deteriorated quite markedly and could hardly walk.

The vet examined her and found a large mass in her stomach area which hadn't been there 6 weeks ago when she had her annual check up, so it was obviously a very aggressive tumour.

The vet also thought that Loopy was bleeding internally as she was quite anaemic.

Deep down, I knew before we went to the vets that I wouldn't be taking her home, so I didn't have to think for too long about the decision to have her put to sleep.
She looked so relaxed and peaceful when it was all over.

Anyhow, sorry for the long post and once again, thanks to you all for your kindness.:):)

Just want to check something....has been a while cos I've been really busy. But the Tesco price check works against sainsbury's doesn't it?

So rather than go to sainsburys to take advantage of their 1/3rd off baby things I could get them from Tescos and then get a voucher to use later at Tesco.

Or is my brain a bit messed up?

My 6 year old has chicken pox and its a bit difficult for me to get as far as our local sainsburys

In theory yes, but Tosco's pp doesn't always play ball. Although if it doesn't compare you could always email cs.

Sorry for your loss x

So excited Building Society rang to say that new mortgage payment will be nearly £360.00 less from February. They have agreed to consolidate the arrears. I also applied for cash office job at new Morrisons. So hopefully things are at last looking up for me. On the down side I cant find a £25.00 premium bond win cheque I received in December. Must have tidied it away at Xmas.
Again on plus side off to Lisbon for 3 days at weekend with sister. She is treating me for her birthday. Hoorah.
Must go house a mess where I have been tearing drawers and cupboards to pieces looking for things.
