    Do you have any advice on barking in the garden please? It doesn't bother us, but worried it will annoy the neighbours :o

    When I read it again is it you or a dog if its you try and stay in during full moons ;)

    I know thats what I thought :rotfl:. I'm just looking on Game as their website says they will beat any price from a competitor by £1 but i'm not sure if they just give me a credit note for their store or cash :cool:. I did think about ebay, but sold a couple of things from my wardrobe and 80% of the time they are happy nice people and the other 20% they are the polar opposite and I cant be bothered with nasty emails from people. I sold an item of clothing which was new with tags and cost £70ish new, sold it for £10-£15 (cant remember) when I was wrapping it to post it found a hole where the zip was the seam had come undone it must of been like that when I bought it hadnt noticed it, I messaged the winner with a photo and said sorry just found this and got a really nasty email back pretty much calling me stupid and why hadnt I checked the item did I no think to and wanted money off, which I was going to do anyway until they were horrible so I refunded the money and said it's not right for sale I guarantee you if I had posted it they would of complained about something else, then they sent me threating messages etc and this went on for a while, on another item we sold a camper toilet which I listed accurately etc, and the person paid alot it was an auction then demanded their money back as they could of bought a new one for that money and if I didnt refund them they were going to come to my house etc he was really threating, I think ebay needs to start introducing measures where the buyer doesnt have your home address, I was really scared, and ebay customer services are usless!

    Gosh that is scary. I haven't sold on eBay for a while, tbh I can't be bothered with the hassle either. Especially as Royal Mail keep upping their prices. It's not what it was 4-5 years ago:(

    Well, guess who's missed some of the big crucial match with the world champions and the big Chilean team? Yes, that's right, muggles (me). I figured that normal life had to continue to some extent. If Spain don't score at least twice in under the next half an hour, they are out!!

    Sadly the Pringles turned out to have 3 for £3 on the shelf in A. What a horrible, nasty, nasty offer:(:(:(. (Actually not that nasty, as if you can put a Brazilian Chilli flavour with two carefully specially selected others...;).) No Brazilian Chilli in the store:(, but at least it stopped me becoming tempted and buying Pringles with six further items:eek: and thus stopped me spending more money than sense:T.

    Sadly the Pringles offer appears to be nationwide:(.

    Some good advice already given :) I'd like to add by saying dogs like simple commands such as "off" or "away" in a firm voice, reinforced by pushing him away at the same time. It doesn't matter which word you choose as long as you consistently use the same word for the same request, they will learn what this means. You need to have confidence in yourself as pack leader because otherwise a dog will sense you're unsure and may choose to ignore. Some people are not very good at this but dog training classes will help to perfect these techniques :)

    I am booked in for training classes, starts in July, hoping that helps.

    Maybe suggest buying 3 boxes of Pringles in Mr T? But...wait, wait, wait, I think they need at least one day to update to Mr a.com's prices. Remember... buy 2 and it reduces the PP by £2.48:(. Buy 3 (at £4.96 total) and it adds £1.96 to the PP:T. (Hopefully.) Well actually that's not very brilliant at all as £1 per box of Pringles is just way too expensive.
