Enjoying the Sunshine whilst Saving for the Rainy Day

I ended up going to the walk in centre as was feeling very poorly by the time my friend picked her kids up earlier. I've got 3 days of anti biotics now and hopefully will feel better soon

Also spent some money whilst waiting for prescription all yellow stickered stuff though

You're very welcome EE it worked wonders for me too

Alex a leappad is a games console aimed at younger children! My son dropped his and cracked the screen but we've a nice shiny new one now prices have dropped this year as they have a new model but last year when they were new they were nearly a hundred quid each!

Thank you. I'm glad my son is happy to play with my old toys and has an interest in animals, the outdoors and trains (no expensive computer games), let's hope things stay this way.

ETA: Sorry you've had a bit of a bad day, hope tomorrow is a better one.

Hi DFW.

Sorry you're feeling carp, not best when you're on a course. Did you enjoy it apart from the yappy one? Are you going to go for it and mentor a family?

Huskies are mental. Mine loves digging holes. As soon as her head fits she's done and moves on to the next one. But I would be scared if one came bounding at me, they've no concept of personal space and she's convinced she's the size of a gerbil which puts me on a par with Kylie :rotfl:

Sorry you have not been feeling to good, hopefully the anti biotics will kick in today and you will feel much brighter by weekend.

:rotfl:let's hope he stays that way In all honesty my kids don't really play that often with theirs, the whole summer it was only used for long car journeys as they have cartoons and books on to look at (peace for mummy whilst driving ) and just recently since the weather has turned they've started playing with them again :T DD loves hers as it has books on and if she doesn't know the word she clicks it and it speaks the word for her meaning she can do it without me

Yes really enjoyed aside from the yappy and dunce one! They kind of ruined it for the rest of us as the lady running it isn't a teacher and so kept loosing track of where she was and getting all flustered...probably because she'd never heard so many stupid questions in all her life?!

Husky is very bouncy :eek::eek: yet again Duke was in the garden this morning and she jumped over the fence, I don't tactfully know how to say "Get your F*&***g dog out of my garden!" I wasn't born with and haven't yet learned that skill yet, TACT. Hmmm :think:. I wasn't very nice this morning and dragged the dog by the collar over to her fence, poor Duke was beside himself and didn't know what to do, he definitely feels threatened by her it was trying to open my back door that i'd quickly shut too :eek: and all you have to do is knock the handle down and it would open...not good she'd sussed this already and was plenty big enough to do it!

Hello!

Well i've already noted down the husky adventures of the morning so will leave that one am just hoping the look on my face this morning was enough for them to buy a fence VERY soon

I've put on 2 washes, the wash basket is empty :eek::) the heated airer must be working :T i've not had the heating on yet and although it's nippy in the evening I think it's fine during the day so i'll wait for the kids to moan before putting it on

I've emailed the management agency about letting my house out and collecting keys for me when my current tenant leaves. Am slightly worried as i've not heard from my tenant. I've emailed her today to say i'm trying to arrange someone to collect keys and can she advise when she will be vacating, so we will see if I get a reply. Surely if she was going to do a flit she would just have gone and not bothered sending me an email at all? :think: No money from her yet though?!

Checked bank and still have a little money in there, enough to get food and petrol hopefully. I put petrol in last night to save me driving over there again before we go to my mum's house tomorrow. Which reminds me I need to call her to make sure she hasn't forgotten!

Caught up on a few more diaries and will try and do some more catching up later, off for another herbal tea now and to put some bread on

Fingers crossed that tenant is just being her usual slack self. A big OH MY WORD about the husky though, that's not good at all. Not really sure what you can do though, if it does it again I'd be having stern words with the neighbour to keep their dog in their garden, tact or not it's just not on.

Have a jaffa cake x I'm stuffing my face with them x

Hi D.Free, :hello:

Sounds like this is a young, untrained, bored animal. Presumably the new owner took it on from a friend who couldn't cope? No reputable rescue centre would place such a dog without doing a home-check - which will include wanting to see a husky-proof garden.
I've watched a determined specimen scale an eight foot chain-link fence, open [or chew right through un-openable] doors, and even turn a key left in a padlock in order to escape!
..So security must be taken seriously; in the short term do you have somewhere in your garden where you could fix a chain (not a rope)? Then when the dog returns to find it's new [unwilling] play-mate - which you can expect - at least you'll be able to tie it up so it can't chase your dog or get into your house. It'll take the neighbours a while - even with the best will in the world - to construct proper fencing so you'll be in for a far less stressful time if you're prepared, next time the 'visitor' arrives.
BTW, suggest the neighbour adds a short section of fence sloping inward at the top - then six feet will probably be high enough vertically. They also need to beef up the locking mechanism on their doors. Plus take the poor dog for at least a five mile walk every day - this is the best way of calming it down - and enrol on training classes of course.

If the responsibility of all that is too much, the kindest thing all round would be to contact a specialist breed rescue and give up the dog* to experienced husky owners who can sort out the bad behaviour. Before there is a disaster.

Of all the dogs I've been involved in fostering /re-homing over the years, the husky-types have been the most heart-breaking. People buy a gorgeous fluffy puppy for it's looks without realising that the breed character makes them unsuitable pets for many homes, or how much work it takes to train them.
Once 'trained' a husky is an awesome companion, although by then most of the owners I've met tend to have a houseful of 'em - it's an addictive breed once you get beyond the bounce! :rotfl:
Sorry; lecture over. As you can tell, this is a cause close to my heart.
*Ummm... Is it a boy or girl? How old?

Hmm, that's a bit of a worry. Wonder if she's already gone and the email is really to let you know the house is now empty?
Keeping fingers crossed for you - take it the agent will go and have a [discrete] look?

Hope you all have a good time visiting Mum. Travel safe.
