Seems fine this morning and DD hadn't captured anything (thankfully)



Not sure going to use it later, they were £24.95 which I certainly wouldn't pay but I reckon it is worth £5 to try - will give the other 2 as gifts or sell them on



I think you must have really fussy neighbours and I doubt if there were some barking though the day that any authority would be that bothered unless it was continuous for hours. I think I would go and see the neighbours and explain what has happened with the dogs and that you are currently retraining them and that you are working on the barking.

I really do think she is, she's just away from the door to complain about them barking today! They're sleeping on the floor, I took her in to see them and they didn't even wake up. She said they'd just finished barking but I told her they've been sleeping for the past hour so couldn't have been them, neighbour was in and told her I'd been talking to her and there was a dog at the end of the next street barking but that mine had been asleep.
I just hope she realises that it really wasn't them, I'll be :mad: if she keeps blaming them on every barking dog she hears.

hook and chain the door open ?

Done this too, they bounce off the door until it comes off the hook :rotfl:
I think I'll just have to lock them in the kitchen as the girl seems intent on blaming them on every dog noise she hears :mad:

My young neighbours have 2 dogs that live in a cage in the conservatory most of the time. They are locked in when they are out and never go for a walk. Sometimes they cry and bark for up to 6 hours and only stop when they come home. She told me he has a bad drug habit and they are always fighting and often storm off in a huff so dogs tart up, One night they barked until 2.30 in the morning and I ended up sending her a message on Facebook just when she came home. They seem oblivious to the nuisance and a couple of our other neighbours are annoyed by it too.
So I am going to ask them again to sort it or I will ring RSPCA this week. They only got the dogs to annoy each other ( she got one and then he got one to spite her!) and should not have a dog.

I can see how this would annoy, I would get peed off too. Awful for the dogs to live this way and for you to put up with
I would fully understand her veiws if mine were like this but the neighbour has told me she doesn't hear them too much but puts it down to being deaf in one ear. They are left for 4 hours max but that's only twice a week while I'm working with the kids, I would never dream of leaving them longer. When I was working full time outside home I went back to walk them at lunchtime everyday so they were only on their own for under 4hrs at a time and never had complaints from neighbours about the noise.
I just hope it'll be easy to get them back this way.

I have to apologise to the person who hid the little stars choc in sainsbobs - I found your hidden pack and it went through the till for 10pm
Mind you, it's probably the same person who bought up all of the copies of welch magazine :mad:
I even exchanged the points on my other nectar into a Sainsburys gift card and took it to the petrol station but there was only one Copy there :mad:
The welch mocs are valid until the end of March. I am thinking that maybe it might be easier to hang onto them until one of the stores actually charges the full price and then buy them as part of a targeted shop in the hope of a TPP, BM or APG.
In the meantime tosco have 2 long life versions at an introductory price of 75p, top shelf :T it depends on how brave you are. I suppose you could say if the till person notices the price difference 'of dear I must have picked up the wrong version, I think I will save my coupon for next time so please can you take the wrong one off'
I've done all 3 supermarkets this morning, recs due in about half an hour so if anything exciting show up you will be the 1st to know

obvious solution move or get rid of dogs

Sorry had to reply to this wish i had'nt read it :mad:. You do not get rid of your pets who are like family its like saying get rid of your baby because its crying all the time.

Before you say i know you dont leave babies alone in the house while you go out.

Rant over but that reply hit a raw nerve.

It was a bit like the good old days this morning, searching the mag shelves for magazines with mocs in and then sitting and cutting them all out. The moc folder needed a boost and s proper non print off moc that won't upset till persons.

The extra mags though will look odd on the excel charts we have been keeping about our spending
