FLYLADY MEETING IN YORK TOMORROW IS NOW POSTPONED UNTIL THE AUTUMN.

I've just been catching up with the thread, so belated happy birthdays, condolences and hugs where needed especially for Ozzie.

Flying wise, the only task I did from the list yesterday was cleaning the bin. I also cut the grass but other than that am just keeping up with the dailies.

I am suffering at the moment with all my bites and have now booked an appointment for later today as I can't risk the problems I had a couple of years ago again. My new hoover is heavy so I need my joints working as well as can be!

Have a great day everyone.

FurryBeastOz

God I'm tired. Oz whimpered all night and is still doing so. We hot bunked to keep him company. He's still shaking. And more worryingly refusing cheese and Dentastix and to go past the garden gate. Will be giving the vet a ring this morning I think.

Thanks for all the get well wishes.

mrs-moneypenny

FBO its really understandable that Oz is so shaken up after being attacked like that. Sorry you all had a bad night, i do hope that the vet can offer some support and advice.

jazee and all flyladies hoping to attend the meetup sorry to read its been postponed hope you all manage to get together later on.

right im away now so have a good day all

**Vanilla**

FurryBeastOz I'm so sorry to here what happened to Ozzie. I've 2 staff's myself and would never dream of having them off a lead. We have a local forest park near us where we take them for walks and the amount of people who have their dogs of their lead is unbelievable. I'm terrified of other dogs as I was biten as a child, only can have my own. I hope Ozzie is feeling better real soon. x


Yesterday turned out to be a good day, had a big blow up with OH which seems to have cleared the air. My sister and BIL came up and both OH, DS1 and BIL went for a cycle of 7 miles. Good to see OH out. Then we decided to get the gardens done, hedges cut and polytunnel sorted. Still a few hedges to do today but looks loads better. Even got a lovely lavender plant for the front door. Did lose another plant to BIL strimming it off lol


Kids away today from 12-7 so that will give me plenty of time so finish garden and get stuff done inside.

DD is watching Back to the Future before going away later this morning. I'm going to spend the day catching up on admin, my TV programmes which I can't watch when DD is around, laundry and flying without DD under my feet I have some paid stuff to do before tomorrow morning.

Anyways I best move myself or I'll still be sat here when ex turns up for DD. :wave:

nicki_2

Sorry for the double post but I've just munched a cane toad - yesterday I actually bought the replacement smoke alarms and I have just fitted them as they're the same brand as the ones I had so fitted on the same brackets :j:j Its cost me £12 for a twin pack from the orange DIY store, according to the packaging its the ones that 98% of fire brigades use, they came with batteries I can replace and I've fitted them on my ex's mums birthday so its an easy date to remember to change the battery (which I'm also going to enter on reminderf0x and my calender just in case ). I think it's only taken me 2 years to get around to doing it
