  • OMO, poor Fingers, with all of the additional tlc he is getting and the positive vibes from this mob, he will be back to his usual self pretty soon. Luckily he is too young to understand what has happened, just knows that all he loves are by his side.

    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.

    amey - sorry you didn't get the job but fab news on the good feedback! Hope the sky man doesn't keep you waiting for too long today.
    omo - aww poor fingers :( sending well wishes
    mrsinvisble - have a lovely evening :)

    Not much to report here! It was super hot last night, hoping for a good thunder storm to clear the air a bit. I freaked both me and OH out last night as I had not been asleep long and thought (dreamnt/nightmare) I saw a man stood at the bottom of our bed leaning towards us I jumped and made a nosie, the door moved (in the wind as window slightly a jar) and it woke OH up. It did freak him out a little too as I looked petrified and had really jumped, took me a good hour to get back to sleep after that. Then the TV started making a noise at 3am and OH thought it was fire alarm in one of the holiday cottages but then we found it was the TV, needless to say we will both be ready for sleep this eve!
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:

    The book and luggage stickers arrived yesterday. Thanks so much for those! :j
    I'll post when I've finished reading the book and send it on to anyone else who wants to read it next.
    I'll look out for the millionaires shortbread cappucino. It sounds like something I should enjoy.
    I'd love some more stickers if there's no-one else that needs them. No rush, though. The offer runs until September.
    Is there anything I can send to you in return?

    RUTHHONEY Ooh i can think of a few things :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    No dont be daft you are very welcome :D Love the sound of your minion day

    MOJOWORKING no not yet :o still looking, i felt really sorry for a lady on facebay last night, she had bought a secondhand tv that had been advertised on our local group (i read advert but it didnt sound good, had a scratch on screen and she wanted £50) she got home and it worked for 20 mins and then broke, so she phoned this person who refused to speak to her, kept making her daughter speak to her and they turned round and said you are not getting your money back you must have broke it on the way home :eek: so this woman is out of pocket??? Mind you i cant believe she bought it without checking it was working but there you go she probably thinks everyone is trustworthy. I havent even watched any tv all weekend :o hope you manage to get back to your yankee bargains :D

    If you do think of anything, please let me know.

    I didn't get it! But the feedback I got was good my trainee didn't get it either so we will have a new manager by August.

    Love and hugs xxx

    Sorry you didn't get the job, Amey. Maybe it just isn't the right time for you. Hope the new manager is nice.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your messages :D

    Sorry for going AWOL. Fingers has had to have an emergency operation and we are taking it in turns to stay with him at the hospital. What with working and looking after the dog/home/kids I haven't had a spare 5 minutes. I just seem to always be driving up or down the motorway.

    They thought he had fractured his elbow so put a cast on it. Only he hadn't and he joint somehow got infected. The infection had nowhere to go as his elbow couldn't swell because of the cast so went inwards and into his blood stream. He has had to have the joint drained and cleaned out. He is on a intravenous drip of antibiotics and fluids. But he is slowly getting better.

    I am off to bed now as I have to be up in 4 hours. Hope everyone is well. I will try to read back sometime this week but I'm not really taking anything I read in properly. x

    I sold the tent the day he was admitted and still haven't updated the cv fund. I will do it now or it will never get done. xx

    Ooooh, poor Fingers. Hope he's better soon.
    When I broke my elbow, they didn't even bother putting a cast on me. Said I needed to keep movement in it! :eek:
    Luckily I've not had any problems with it since. My broken kneecap always gets sore in the cold and rain, but the elbow I'd forgotten I'd even broken until I read your post.
