We all need to be heard for a little while.

OH's dad is looking after the fuzzy and says it's still a combo of weight-bearing and hopping. My guess is that she's chucked herself off the bed at the postman and done the doggy equivalent of an ankle twist

Will be keeping a close eye and giving her lots of scruffles!

I'm having a slight panic as i've realised my new tent is not as waterproof as i first thought it was. :eek: I'm praying it doesn't rain when i'm at the festival but if it does i need to find ways to waterproof my tent. Thankfully i've had some helpful suggestion on how to. I'm just annoyed at myself for not properly checking the specs when i bought it and rushing into buying it :mad:

OOh thanks for that! I think if i use spray, use some tarp over and around it, and get some seam sealer it should be ok I wish i could take my 4 man tent but its huge and its not fair on others as there is limited space in the camp we are in so i can;t be taking up all the room

I'd go mad if I had to sleep in a small tent again - our 3m bell tent was a bit cramped and now we use one of the garage-sized scout tent jobbies

Well, after talking it over with some members of the group who've been before i've been told that the size isn't as much as an issue as i'm worrying about. They aid just go for it and take the better tent. I have said that i will happily camp next to their camp though if anyone thinks its too big, and to make room for others. Just got it out and managed to get it back into its bag which is a first! Least this way i will be comfy AND dry!

Emm "morning" all. Apparently I needed 14 hours of sleep! I'm amazed my cats let me!

Thank you WaS, i think it's just the psychological weight of the items being visible? It will pass

I hope you got your lunch

Lots of cuddles for the doggy sprained ankle. And for Pyxis, we're all here for you xx

Cuddle dispenser disinterred for anyone who wants it. I suspect Pyxis will post a picture later


VERY busy day at work, leaving now rather brain dead. Not too bad a day, though!

Curious for peoples thoughts on the following, My friend posted on facebook that as part of mental health awareness week, her workplace have asked people to wear odd socks "to raise awareness". My friend was somewhat miffed by this as she doesn;t see how its raising awareness and that it would have been better to have given people info and help to understand MH problems and help others.

I have to say i agree with her, personally i can't quite understand the link between odd socks and MH (unless they are trying to say people with MH problems are "odd" or eccentric? Although i do wear odd socks :eek:) and that it would have been better to empower people with info and tools to help either themselves or others,

I think it's just a silly idea like wearing a blue t-shirt or a pink ribbon. I don't think it's supposed to imply anything about people with MHP (mental health problems). If wearing odd sox gets people talking, though, I think it's quite a good idea. I guess they are thinking that people will ask about the odd sox and that will start a conversation about MH???????


OMG - it IS related! https://1010.org.au/events/odd-socks-day


Oh well, anything that gets people talking, I guess......
