    Natty... is it just really cold and affecting him adversely?? Call your normal vet.. ask if they have anyone they recommend where you are and they can fax over his details. Here's hoping he is scaring you for fun and is back to his usually boingy self tomorrow xx

    Thanks for that Piggers, I think you may be right (fingers crossed) as he has finally settled down under his fleecy blanket in front of the fire - we've actually had half an hour without him crying. Dave is in for fun tonight, he has to carry him upstairs - thank gods I always bring our own bedding (including the duvet) because I know the dogs like to sleep with us.. :D

    Fingers crossed he is just doing it for fun.. I hadn't actually thought of ringing our own vet for a recommendation here..thank you for that :D

    (((Hugs))) Natty. It certainly sounds as if he was cold, but maybe he is also very disorientated. It can't be easy for him to be in a place that smells and sounds very strange. I hope you have a peaceful night and that things are looking better in the morning.

    At last... I have finished sorting and filling all the resource boxes apart from the one that someone has been using and hasn't returned yet, and they are now stacked neatly on top of the study-bedroom cupboard :T The rest of the room is a tip, but if I shut the cupboard doors and just look up, I am happy :rotfl:

    Did my last vol job stint for this year - house re-opens in March. Plenty else to keep me occupied during the winter months :) - maybe even a little kondoing and flying?

    Bed calls: I shall have to make an early start with the packing tomorrow so that we can get off straight after weigh-in.

    Don't worry if I'm MIA for the rest of the week. I shall be keeping an eye on you all between school runs with DGS1+2.

    Dizzy does it all have to be ironed? Could you go through it and take out all the things that could just be folded and put away?.

    I did this already :eek: I have conceded that babygrows, socks, boxer shorts/pants can be neatly folded without ironing. This is a big step for me. Same for towels and items like jogging bottoms, IF, they are still warm from the TD. If I fold them just right and stack neatly, they can pass for ironed once cool. Just. I blame my mother for giving me this OCD. She even irons net curtains (through a protective sheet on low setting, no steam...) aarrgghh - see? :mad:

    Bathroom tomorrow? That's not looking too shabby ATM, so may actually complete the list - watch this space!

  • Morning everyone

    Oh Natty what a horrible situation. I hope things are better this morning and you have all managed to get some sleep.

    I am going out with my Mum this afternoon and really looking forward to it. Will try and fly a little when I get home.

    Right, shower and dressed. I have sorted the kitchen, again, run the carpet sweeper around and tidied the LR. I want to try and get the washing hung out before I go to work.

    Have a good Tuesday everyone x

    I've got a really pesky headache which does not want to shift. Paid stuff for me today, will do a little in the bathroom before I go.

    See you all later.
