    Thanks.
    I am plodding on.
    I am sure you are all sick of hearing my woes.

    Not at all, this is your diary to use as you wish. Judging by the posts, and thanks I don't think people are leaving here in droves :D. I think you just have to accept that people genuinely care about you and want to support you as you support others ;)

    Surely not.
    That would mean we were all nice.
    That would mean Beanie was nice and we all care about Beanie.

    Not the best of days.
    Miss J is not at her best which I have to say has not been helped by my tripping over her last night. She got a fright & has hardly eaten today.
    Vet tomorrow. I could cry.
