    Ok he doesn't like them, but you really really hate the clothes rail you already have.
    A canvas one can be got pretty cheaply on ebay if you keep your eye out. This would be one less angsty feeling about your home until you can afford what you want.
    Sometimes it's ok to prioritise your needs.

    That's very true... :o

    I have good news - the dining table is gone!:j Buyer was very happy, I'm happy with the space. It's all good. Now to get rid of the sideboard...

    Sorry to hear about your Bess, Byatt. :(

    :( Hugs. It's so hard to say goodbye, but TG we have the chance to end suffering for the animals we love.

    Got rid of a pair of awfully 'molly' unworn sandals today, bought mail order. They are earmarked for a charity car boot.

    Also out, various bits of underwear in a size I haven't been for some years and in styles for someone 10-20 years younger.. :o

    Plus DS has informed me he no longer wishes to eat potatoes. C. 6lbs of spuds rehomed to friend.
    Sweet potatoes are acceptable and are one of A!di's Super 6 this week. :) 3 bags in, 1 already used, with pork minute steaks, dusted with A!di's new hot n spicy marinade mix, used as a rub, YS asparagus and YS mange tout. :D

    Oh my dear, I'm so sorry for your loss. Please look after yourself.

    This poem was given to me 18 years ago when I lost my beloved Max. I don't know where it originally came from but I'm passing it on in the hope it might bring a little comfort to all who've lost loved pets.

    If it should be…

    If it should be that I grow frail and weak
    And pain should keep me from my sleep
    Then you must do what must be done
    For this last battle can’t be won

    You will be sad I understand
    Don’t let your grief then stay your hand
    For this day more than all the rest
    Your love and friendship stands the test

    We’ve had so many happy years
    What is to come can hold no fears
    Would you want me to suffer? So
    When the time comes please let me go


    Take me where my needs they’ll tend
    Only stay with me to the end
    And hold me firm and speak to me
    Until my eyes no longer see


    I know in time that you will see
    It is a kindness that you do to me
    Although my tail it’s last has waved
    From pain and suffering I have been saved

    Do not grieve it should be you
    Who must decide this thing to do
    We’ve been so close we two these years
    Don’t let your heart hold any tears

    I am a bit of a lurker here, the hoarding is pretty much under control, but you good people keep me motivated:D

    Just wanted to say commiserations to Byatt, it is hard when we loose one of our 4 legged besties.

    ModestyB - tears running down my face now, but lovely words.

    Catriona - great news on the table, I hope that the sideboard will soon follow it out.
