    Chrissy - oh your poor little doggy. :(

    Nanamia - hope they manage to sort out DH's meds for him.

    pixtotts - sorry to see you are having a bad day. Hope you feel better soon.

    Feisty - so sad to hear Mr. Feisty's lastest health news. Thinking of you both. x

    Got a problem with my heel and dr recommended special insoles. Priced them at the local chemist and we were looking at about £13 and then paid Mr. B's a visit and they were wait for it ....... £26 :eek:. Had a lookie on Am@zon and have got some similar looking ones so will give them a try. Had message to say they have been despatched so hopefully I will receive them at the beginning of the week and will then be pain free :rotfl: (fingers crossed).

    Hope you all have a good weekend.

    Hi Everyone :wave:

    Feisty So sorry to hear about your DH. I hope that he gets the operation soon.

    Chrissy Your poor dog!

    Nanamia Hopefully your DH's new medications are ok.
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Just dashing by..

    I've not fallen off the planet.. but I am just spending less time here.. I was chosen as a beta tester for the new look site and I can't spend much time here it makes me stressed just looking at the pages..

    Christmas wise.. I have grabbed a few bargains for the children including a tepee for the girls!

    I have my nephews birthday in a few weeks and then no more until June.. I need something for the 2 grandbeasts then.. they will be 2 so really easy to buy for.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    j_j update from BSC :D

    I'm so happy to report that Jess has been posting photo's of herself in hospital on Facebook looking beautiful & smiling as always. She also posted this to everyone who has wished her well.

    "Hiya lovely people! I'm okay still alive and causing trouble I just like keeping you all on your toes! My memory is appalling at the moment and like a little lady I have a sign on the intensive care wall with the day on it. I can't believe you guys managed to get Peter Andre to tweet me your all amazing as are your more messages maybe home in a few days. Phone is at the doctor getting fixed trust me to change pass code and then get memory loss! Mwah thanks to all your support and a few extra special people".

    CHRISSYG - Oh no! Poor doggy! Stupid old vet :@ GGRR!

    I am having a really really hard day. I think it must be the time of the month, I just feel like crying all the time and it's completely not like me :/
    My brain just has it in for me I think. just aaahh! x

    Oh PIXTOTTS hope you are feeling a bit more you tonight, sending you lots of hugs my lovely x
    Oh JJ my poor love :(

    Mrsinvis, I am sorry but the moldyoldie did make me chuckle - glad your shower should be an easy fit :)

    Nana, poor DH it must be a worry that his meds wont work if they are being passed whole :(

    Chrissy, poor, poor dog!

    Not good news in the feisty house I'm afraid. DH will be having to have open heart surgery as they've confirmed his heart is failing. The fatality rate is in the double figures, so I'm desperately trying not to think about it too much :(

    FEISTY sending you and DH lots of hugs, i am thinking of you both at this frightening time, how quick will they operate, i hope they dont muck you both about this time x
