    Pretty much a non flying day today.
    Went to zumba; lovely to be back after hols.
    Had 3hrs work at uni, and used extra time to catch up on a report and internet stuff (like this thread..........)
    On way home I'm having a quick meal with friends, then home in time for church meeting at 8pm. Would be nice to think I'd do another bit of the report, or some flying when I get home, however I'm not making any promises.

    Good wishes heading your way CY. Xxx

    Saw the fruits of flylady properly today. I cleaned the bathrooms last week really well so today I did both on about 20 minutes. They o ly needed a good swish rather than a full on chisel and scrub! Whoop. Floors still to do but I think I may tackle that tomorrow.

    Nice walk in the woods with girls. Although we met a few doggies and Dd1 freaked out totally. Strange as she's never been like that before.

    Dd2 presented me with a bag of treasured artwork today from school. Yay. I have glue now so will sit and scrapbook them all...

    Coping vibes and good wishes from me CY
    Hugs good wishes and post vibes to all who need them, along with a pot of sticks and spoons to help yourself to.
    I've been tackling the DVD cupboards today, we have a ridiculous amount! I've cleared 68 doubles and triples that we had duplicates of how crazy is that!!!!! Dh buys them cheap The saying he'll give them away if we already have it then they get stuffed into the cupboards and shelves with the rest of ours, and then there are so many we can't find the ones we want to watch, catch 22. Cs will love us next time we go, Dh has already taken a load to work to give away this afternoon once he saw how many we had clogging up our house.

    Good news nice neighbour has been allowed home and isn't as bad as feared, it's cracked vertebra but they will mend and shouldn't cause her mobility problems as long as she's careful and allows herself to heal.

    Hi all

    Week finished at paid stuff until 3rd August:T although boss man has called which I missed, so I'll give him a bell tomorrow.

    All I've done tonight is tidy round after dinner and load DW, then done tidy time with kiddies. They've had every bit of carp out today while I was at work. Looks much clearer, for now. Their friends are coming for the day tomorrow so it will all end up out again...

    Made a lovely risotto tonight- slimming world style, need to pop leftovers in fridge and I'll have that for lunch tomorrow.

    So tired I can hardly think.

    Mega bucket sized spoons to CY to deal with chemo xxx

    Sorry if this sounds patronising Natty, but have you spoken to the vet? It could be a urine infection or there may be a drug to help support the sphincter muscle for males - there is for females which was an absolute Godsend with Pumpkin. Either way, you know his problem is obviously not behavioural because it's happening when he's relaxed and/or asleep.

    It didn't sound patronising at all HB.. We've already been to the vets and spoken to them about this issue, he has had blood tests and urine tests galore..and I can safely say he hasn't got a urine infection.. The vet didn't want to go down the route of more drugs for him as he has kidney troubles and was taking enough drugs as it is...poor thing.

    But the good news the belly band arrived this morning while I was at group..so when I got back I immediately put it on him and he took to it like a duck to water.. No troubles with him trying to get it off or anything..and now he is like he isn't wearing anything.. And guess what???? He isn't actually leaking a major amount, I had a little dribble on the pad over a period of 4 hours he had it on till we had to go the vets for another appointment.. And he has it on now and is a happy Bear.. Plus he isn't sleeping on a wet towel or getting wet legs..which is a godsend for him. And we had a lovely nights sleep last night, although the bed was covered in dog pads but they worked...and I didn't have to wash anything bedding this morning..:T:T:T:T

    For those that are interested here's what a dog would look like wearing a belly band :D

    Hubby did my flying for me today which I was really happy that he did..although it might have had something to do with my meltdown on him while getting ready for bed.. He didn't know what to do with me as I totally lost it big time. But I think he took on board what I said and, with my instructions left, he put the washing on while I was out and even hung it out too.

    Apart from that no flying done.. :(
