    I'd NEVER give up my animals or make them suffer. But I do think that taking on a big dog now is proportionately more expensive than it was when I was a kid. :(. We used to have a Lot of them, fir and I, with for in a proportionately better paid job, would be pushed to with that breed.

    As they are ALL wonderful people it seems prudent to think about taking on the cost difference IMO between so etching that weighs say, twenty kilos, forty kilos, or sixty kilos. Kiwi only weighs ten. Its almost 'laughable' to what we are used to for drug costs.
    having had MABEL and her food costs [albeit a spoilt brat ;) ] i was actually amazed at the ACTUAL amount id been spending..:o finding out after she'd "gone"..... i didnt begrudge a penny for the big lump tho :D

    Davesnave.. any signs???? are we online aunties and uncles yet???

    Nope. :o She was 10 days late, and I think history will repeat itself.

    So, maybe Friday, then! :)

    Or perhaps it'll be whenever all the sparkies, insulation bods and window fitters descend on this place.....:(

    Finally bought a toilet & basin today, but not exactly as planned.

    Phoned up my 'local' Shed and offered to pay over the phone while there was still a sale + an extra 20% off, but was met with:

    "We don't do that now, not if we can't deliver it. (and make me pay extra! :mad:) Someone defrauded us a few months ago."

    "Oh!" :(:(:(

    Anyway, I'm down there tomorrow, so I said I'd still buy if they could hold their quote open for 24hours....otherwise I'd go to Victoria Plumb!

    That worked. :rotfl::rotfl:

    :j:j :beer::beer: :T:T thats great . he deserves a fab home... i will have a space after "the rug" has moved out, actually i feel bad not keeping him, as i am fond of him, but it would restrict me from helping many more....:o so im a bit stuck at the moment..... guilt v sense :( its a bit dank,dark and dismal here weather wise but nothing like anyone north of me ..:o i have woken each morning for the last week unable to move ! [lower back].. ive learnt to do some stretch exercises before i roll out of bed rezembling a folded ironing board .. this morning i was doing just this when i felt an almighty "crack" from the region. it was like it bounced round my body :eek: BUT it feels better :D lets hope it stays like that ... im doing nothing today as im not going to undo the good.. need to be fit for work tomorow . p.s. sunny has put on weight and looks like a mature moggie now.. shows to me how young she was having all those litters of kittens...:mad: she is so loving and good nature too :D stay safe everyone

    Dreadful day here, but only damage is ridge & edge off the shed - that I've noticed so far.

    Get the burger nailed and roped down choile before the wind and rain get a chance to pull even more off.

    Our weather has not been as bad as up north but right now it is as if I am in a river not a room; can barely see out the window.

    It was dry and relatively calm yesterday pm so I did a bit of gross weeding and released the vines from their fallen support ready for pruning.

    Not sure where the compost bucket is but leaving it alone was a mistake. Not sure if I can be bothered to go hunting for it. One exploded shed and one seriously battered greenhouse nearly. Shed second hand with rotten timbers at the base by the look of it. Greenhouse not completely glassed and tools left to rattle round inside and break glass.

    Was woken at silly o'clock by the wind and then heard voices next door. They left at 4am so I think little next door may be here sometime today.
    If you've have not made a mistake, you've made nothing
