    HBS, I wish I could borrow your beautiful dog for the day. Littlewing is so scared of dogs; she only has to hear one barking and she is terrified. Trouble is, her reaction is unsafe as she is quite victim-like.

    We didn't realise for months that a relative had told her a story about being bitten by a dog that jumped up when she was a child.

    Don't know what to do about it. It really frightens her.

    Opps, sorry RJ - **waves hello**


    Pyx - well...surfing and fire juggling......add my motorbike sitting in the garage which I have ridden all of once in the last 8 years... that was all the old me.........before.......ya know......




    HBS - I just sold my fire clubs, balls, diablo and devil stick along. I kept my fire Poi tho - just in case I ever feel the urge to spin it up again! Fire fans look so cool - must not buy - must have shed instead! (Poo to grown up-ness!)

    Just woke up 10mins ago. Need to get up as postie has a parcel with more makeup in it for me :j

    Yours

    Why not visit a dogs home? The dogs might be noisy, but they are all confined to barracks! Tell Littlewing they're noisy because they're so excited to see her........like children in a school playground. Especially if there are any puppies in.

    Also, if you know anyone with a very gentle dog, you could introduce her to it gradually.

    Whitewing I would be very annoyed if a relative told a story like that to my child.Maybe you could tell her some good dog stories for example guide dogs and those that help the disabled.Could you go to a rescue to see some puppies maybe that would help.

    See the website is fixed now.

    Any how makeup arrived safely. I have decided and I know before anyone elses says anything. I do know its not great. But I have a tub of out of date by a year well know meal replacement powder that you add milk to.

    Going to to do that for a couple of weeks to kick start my diet. And get my fat behind out for a walk once a day.

    I have been sorting out receipts and I am like :( the amount for the little local national chain supermarket is stupid. I am going up nearly every other day. I don't know how much money I have wasted on that and fresh stuff I am throwing away :mad: I have plenty of meat and veg in the freezer so why I am wasting this money. I never use to be like that.

    Its got to stop. I don't have any income and I am spending like stupid. I spent nearly £500 on my credit card this month. And nearly £50 that was make up, £108 on the sideboard, £60 on fuel and crap was the rest. I got an MOT next month!!!!

    I need to sort this out for both my wallet and my body. I have no plans to leave the house today. So it should be a no spend.

    Will confirm that later.

    Yours

    Calley

    Jailbreak isnt scheduled until 13th sept but midwife thinks she will be early.
    Saying that, been worrying all day as haven't felt much movement. Have just had a lie down though and played some Guns N Roses on my tablet and balanced it on my tummy. Got some little wriggles so happier now. She does like her hair metal!

    Well, Calley, you've realised the problem! That's great!
    Admitting and accepting that there's a problem is three-quarters of the way to fixing it!

    Could you give your cards to your husband like you did before, to stop you using them?
