Good luck for toimorrow Gen and as a non-medical person, the plan sounds truly excellent. In fact it sounds quite good even if you aren't goiong ofr a biopsy.....

Hope your bloods come out OK NDG and good to hear that you have scaled back a bit.

lir, you make me laugh with the bedroom requirements of your hounds. mine sleep in the same room ( with me:o ), but they each have their own individual preferences, floor with bed, floor without bed, my bed and lastly draped on me. Heavens only knows what will happen if I ever stick my toe into the dating pool and things progress..... Perhaps my first requirement for a new chap would be 'very tolerant of dogs';)

LJ, that link to the music shop was excellent:D

Got home about half an hour ago as I needed to go in to work to write a proposal for our CEO for an urgent 8am meeting tomorrow. I have sent apologies but needed to contribute. The Medical Director will present it for me - he and another I discussed it with this evening thought it "brilliant". So a good attempt and I feel pleased that I have done it even if it goes nowhere.

.

I posted the above a week ago (not usual to quote oneself I know) .

This morning I have been copied in to email from my immediate boss, where she has presented this proposal as her own idea to a wide group of people who would not have been sighted on my original work, including the Chairman.

I have replied to her to note the lack of acknowledgment. I would not dream of doing it and I am not prepared to let her do it to me.

Sorry a bit of a rant about poor behaviour in the workplace.

Prescription was close to that - try to eat more, and specific things suggested that I can probably cope with - nuts, bananas, that kind of thing. And rest when I'm tired. And iron and zinc supplements, more than before.

When we first got the kittens DH was put off by them and used to put them out of the bedroom. I pointed out they had no interest. In their younger days they used to go to the other end of bed from us and sit politely facing the other way or lie down and sleep there.

Kiwi and dog dog would both happily sleep with us, but big dog doesn't like up stairs. I don't want to have the other two upstairs while big dog is alive because I think she will think we're favouring them. Though it would be the ideal solution really in all otherways.

My parents say no dogs upstairs. My Dad tries to make sure Yossie's not upstairs either, because he has a penetrating yowl that could wake the dead, and a frequent desire to change location at about 3am. So if he's upstairs, he yowls until someone wakes up enough to open a door for him.

I was really strict when the kittens were little . I reinforced a Housman friendly sleep pattern. They know they have to be in at dusk ish (pink whistley pushes it a lot...waits till I go out and look for her then sneaks in through a window, and waits on the bed :rotfl:). Then they sleep till I get up (or longer). Its really difficult with kittens to ignore yowling or punching at toes etc but worth it. There is little as lovely as snuggling down with a cat for a hot water bottle. They fit perfectly in to curves of a body and purr at you if you wake up.

That's really off. Things like that really piddle me off; I'd be e-mailing and laying claim to the original work.

Ha, knew one day I'd find a flaw in NDG's parents. OK, so not much of a flaw and possibly a plus point for some.;)

Dog dog didn't like waiting on the floor ( and DH and I are determined when she comes up again she is to be an on her own bed dog, not a bed dog). I don't remember if we tried when kiwi was little, maybe we left him down stairs in the crate .

Like many young solicitors, DH has written several uncredited chapters in books no one reads and are now outdated anyway. I think he has his name on two books though, I'll ask him to remind me. .

:edit. Good, I just realised how much money we might have been able to save were the phone line current high and usable by the house. I could have talked more than doozer on the phone to him.

It's actually a criminal offense to do that... s13 of the Theft Act 1968 (Abstracting Electricity). You're only contractually allowed to use the current for telephone equipment. They used to use it to take hackers to court before the computer misuse act (the modems they used took power from the telephone lines, and contractually you weren't allowed to use the telephone for illegal purposes).
