Time to get serious

New puppy is so exciting. At times I wish we'd have had 3 more dogs instead of 3 kids :eek:!!

New puppy woohoo!

Elephant do you know anyone selling a horse? 16hh riding club schoolmadter/mistress type?

Dogs are so much easier than children. They welcome you home from work instead of grunting at you too! We are just getting the car ready and trying to work out what we need for pupster. Well I already have the address tag for the collar, I'm so organised.

Sorry SHS I haven't heard of anything like that, is this for you? Can I get all excited on your behalf if it is?

You're more organised than us - I only remembered we needed new address tags after the dogs had been living here a week...plus another few days for delivery. Lucky they didn't go walkabout in the meantime!

Its for DD1. She has grown like a weed since she rode your dear pony.

I think it was about a week after we moved here before I got the new tags too hidden.

Good luck looking for new horse for DD1 SHS. Will you have room for one for you at some point in the future?

We collected pup yesterday so it is now chaos at home! Thankfully we put chilli on in the sc before we went and took sandwiches in a cool box for the journey, so no food spends.

I'm looking forward to lots of puppy stories!

Eak what happened to the week? It got swallowed up by a puppy!

He's a very good puppy, but I'm exhausted all the same. Normal everyday routine is in chaos, so not a lot of mse activity going on.

As I came home to a rather boisterous welcome in the week, I'm wondering if this will scupper my plans for not buying any new clothes this year as razor puppy teeth ripped my jeans.

DD2 car drama still ongoing. After getting the insurance company to waive the £500 for not reporting the accident within 24hrs, they then proceed to try and charge her £1000. They say because she phoned up to report the accident it is charged out as a claim even though there was no claim. So now they are waiving that charge as there actually was no claim.

It's quite worrying actually, I can't remember the name of the company but they are recommended for first time drivers. The letters they send demanding payment are quite aggressive and clearly a rouse to extract money. If we hadn't stepped in and given her a nudge to call them with the points written down to discuss I dread to think what could have happened.

I'm not sure what chance I'll have to catch up with diaries this weekend, I have end of year accounts to complete along with everything else, including lots of puppy snuggles. I hope all is well with everyone.

Glad to hear DD2 wasn't caught out having to pay ridiculous amounts to the insurance company. Some places can be ridiculous in what they try to get out of you.

Hope the puppy settles in and stops destroying clothing.

Hi ETE,

Been a little while, pleased to see you are still doing fabulously! Well done on looking out for DD, you have saved her a good amount and definitely complain about the company, how awful!

I am hoping to be around a bit more to check in now!
