congrats on the new additions to your family :j It's sad isnt it that hospitals etc have to make such rules and take the measures that they do. But at least you know the precious little babies are safe because of the procedures in place.

Good weights for twins, so Im sure they'll be available for cuddles really soon. Hopefully the upset will pass when they get home and everyone can enjoy x

Thanks you are lovely x

Cooked one of my joints of beef in the slow cooker on Monday and it was really nice. So thanks to all mentioning the meat last week.
Glad to say I have another 3 joints left.

Off to bed now, goodnight to you all, sweet dreams x

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone in this thread. I've sat and digested the OP (original post that is, not the original/opening poster!) and thanks to finally understanding what APG means I've a 55p voucher to print off from my cashback shopping.

Thanks everyone

If there's any way of finding out which item on this list of 26 was cheaper I'll gladly share with you all. Going to slog it out over mysupermarket now to see if I can x

3Dogs

Hiya guys, sorry I am late reporting in tonight but been doing more clearing out in my bedroom. I took 4 bags to tip this afternoon and then called at Asda on way back. Didn't prepare a list and just got essentials like salads, bread, bananas. After today's decluttering I have 2 more bags for the tip, another bag for charity shop plus more linen to take to kennels for bedding. I am out early in morning to take Molly to vets for her annual check-up and booster jab, so she will be all up to date with that. I pay monthly on a Plan which covers their jabs, flea/worm treatment and 10% off meds, etc so this is already paid for

Thanks for all your understanding messages about my doggies :A

I am going to do more clearing out again tomorrow but have to go out later to go to bank, drop off charity stuff, pick up Bon Marche order and then pick up a Tesco Clothing order too

3Dogs and Spirilingdown I am sure you are doing the right thing for your pooches .I had the same dilema years ago with my little corgi we got annonymous letters he bit the postman and ate everything in site.DH decided to have him put to sleep which was very upsetting but as luck would have it he got a reprieve :Tbless him a lady in the vet who lived on a farm said she would take him and what a lovely life he then had so a happy ending for my little dog:)

I don't know if you remember but we had to re home our slightly larger dog Billy last year when we found out about Alan's terminal cancer, as Alan had been having trouble walking him as he got bigger and stronger and knew that I would not be able to manage him. Well, we asked the dog rescue lady at our kennels to re home him and they did, very quickly, and, reading between the lines, I think one of the volunteers took him in, and rescue lady has mentioned that he happy running in fields on the farm now, using up his energy, so very pleased that he found good home. At the time, Alan did suggest that Bess should be rehomed too as he thought that I would struggle with her but I said at the time that I would need her, and Molly, to help me through when he had gone. I now think that Alan was right and I should have rehomed her then, and realise that I kept her/them for my sake, not for their's. I know that dogs are very adaptable and can cope with change quite quickly given the right care, and they will be fine in new homes, with people who love them as I do but can give them what they need

I've been there too, and just wanted to say that you 2 are not alone. I became quite disabled during my last pregnancy, wheelchair and bed bound, as a result I now have permanent right sided weakness, and take a lot longer to do things, plus have 3 children (4 with hubby). We agonised for monthes and finally decided to rehome our crazy border collie. it took us over a year to find a home last summer that I felt was right for him and we turned 3 away. But to see him now he is loving his new family, and getting many more walks and attention than we could offer him.

I will say that I absolutely detested being dogless, and reseached quite deeply for a dog that would fit into a family with young children and a mother with mobility problems, so do now have a Cavalier, and she gives us much joy, yet while she obviously still needs exercise, is much easier to cope with than our collie was.

I guess I just wanted to say I know how you both feel, and the guilt is horrible. xxxxxx

Thanks hun and I am glad that you managed to find another dog that was suitable for your situation
