What are people buying to get the kitkats, as nothing but the 'one-use' maltesers are free?
(I managed to get my box today pesky mouse )

The kitkats are free(at least mine are) and I haven't actually bought anything yet:)

Feel so much for what you are going through SpiralingDown, and the dog must be very distressed. Was going to suggest child/dog gate but I see in later posts that you have put 2 up, and he still got through. Has he done any damage at all in the sitting room? I can't remember if you'd mentioned any. If not, and he just wants in there, is it worth letting him? But of course he still needs to be rehomed as you can't manage him and he needs lots and lots of attention

"he's a good dog in many ways and his problems would be easily sorted with the right owner but I'm not that and I want the best for him, he deserves it" this is exactly what I feel about my two

Anyway, I took the dogs for a little walk and then loaded their blankets, towels, dry food and treats into the car and let them onto passenger seat, where they travel fine. They got out as normal and we put them into their shared run ........ it was just like putting them into the kennels as normal, except I gave them new toys and an extra cuddle. The rehoming lady is going to keep me informed through FB so I know when they are rehomed and how they are getting on. I took 6 x 3Kg bags of Bakers complete small dog so they will use this for them as normal until they are rehomed and then use the remainder for rescue dogs

I had told kennel owners and rescue lady that I would cover their boarding fees and anything else until they were rehomed, but kennel guy said no way, as I'd brought their food and they will not be charging the rescue people any boarding fee for these two. I said I would send in a good donation then but he said no, you've sent in enough and it has cost you so much in kennel fees over the last year. I said that I would sort out their other things like toys, covers of sofa, throws etc and bring them in for use with rescue dogs. He made me promise that I would call in to say hello from time to time and that I must get in touch with them, not just dog related, but if I needed anything, like a lift or something moved, as they would be happy to help. They are so nice, the couple who run that kennels :A

Anyway, I still haven't lifted and washed their bowls and their toys are all over the floor, so must get that sorted, though I have got the throw off one of the chairs in the washer now and will wash the throws off the settee tomorrow, when I will also strip my bed and put fresh new bedding on as I will be able to have just duvet/cover and won't need a throw on top to stop their hair and mucky pawprints getting onto my bedding

It doesn't feel too much different yet, as I am used to them going into kennels before I go away, but I think it will sink in more as the days go on, especially when I see them advertised on the rehoming site :eek:

To other business, I hope everything gets sorted out for you AngelsMadv, and congratulations MARKZ123 on your fantastic win, you deserve something nice like that after what you have been through

I'll be back later, but want to thank you all for your kind words regarding the doggies :A

((((3dogs))))

He only goes for the blinds in the sitting room, I have thought of leaving them in there while I've gone out but because everything from the kitchen and a plastic storage shed I had in the yard (he broke) is in the sitting room I've been worried that if the notion took him to wreck it all I wouldn't know where to start clearing up . I don't fancy having to pay out more than I will already have to for repairs.
I need to knuckle down to sort all that stuff out then I'll feel happier leaving him in there but will then need grills on the windows to stop him from attacking them too:rotfl: maybe I'll get that done tomorrow, but then again maybe not

Just got a call from guy I've ordered the cushions off, I can pick them up tomorrow morning if I want :T

I got my maltesers and 3 kitkats and still have the Coffee/Fairy/Bacardi to cash in and another free kitkat has popped up. Went looking for some coffee but all of the shops around me only keep 100g jars:(

Good morning nightshift.....

Yes i'm here rather late I know, not had any free time at all today.

Anyway, are any of you awake enough for an A's trigger, nothing too exiting but a good deal on something like a £1 spend. :money:

davemorton

Ahhh, you just collect free kitkats. But I got my maltesers at a shop that someone ( a pesky mouse!) had gotten to first, so no kitkat for me!!

evening

Im not staying long. Im knackered!! I arrived safely. I activated my wifi successfully :j

I've been at dinner with the family that are looking after the house. It was just lovely.......lots of memories :A they are absolutely lovely people. They made sure everything was clean for me arriving and even bought some provisions for me :A . I have invited the daughter and her hubby to stay with us in the summer, as I feel I should repay them in some way. They want to go to a concert in Manchester in August. I didn't tell them I live in a building site:D......might be the kick up the bum I need to get the work finished?

DM I was going to explain ( my innocent ) hands and knees comment last night, but my Internet cut out on me again and I went to bed. But as you are having more fun taking it out of context.....and Artha is joining in, I will leave it:rotfl::rotfl:

jeez I hope this makes it to the page. Wine was compulsory at dinner
