    I'm battling a cold, doesn't seem to be my old style cold with hacking smokers cough :)

    So I've got up & fingers crossed I'm catching the train to the city :o

    Need a sparkly top for Christmas do
    So a visit to QVC
    also will try & find some Florida Birkenstocks in size 39 ;)

    I so envy you living that close to a QVC outlet :o

    Plodding on MKS, as we do, just plod on and hope for the best :D



    We recognised the avatar anyway ;)

    I'm off home tomorrow. Was only staying for a week but that has become 12 days. I overstretched carry a bag up the stairs when visiting the lads and pulled muscle/tweaked nerve in my side so been resting that, but should be OK for driving tomorrow. Early start for me, up at 7.30 am :eek: as going to lads on way well it's not on my way, it's further away from home, but you know what I mean :o as I got a few things at Asda for them today. Then got to drive to Tiptree in Essex to pick up some donations from a doggie friend (bedding and dog food for Romania), then off home

    Then I might be driving up to Rochdale with these donations and what I have gathered at home myself, to the depot of the lovely lady who sends wagons of aid across to Romania for the dogs/cats and rescuers. I am however hoping that she can arrange for one of her drivers to pick the donations up from my home, which would save me a 350 mile round trip

    Off to bed now, so night night all :wave:


    Can I ask 3dogs who these lads are you often mention . Are they your children ?

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.
