    Haha Dawn - I love the thought of pup just deciding that he's not budging an inch... I had a fall out with ds today after 14 packets of crisps 'disappeared'. He wouldn't tell me if he'd eaten them or shared them with the street so I told him I wouldn't buy him crisps any more and he started wailing that I mustn't love him because I was going to starve him to death...:p

    [STRIKE]:cool: relax[/STRIKE] Well, I was until aforementioned crisp incident. I'm quite calm again now though...
    [STRIKE]:cool: catch up on here[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: check banking and PAD[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: get naughty tortie to the vet (seriously - it's like groundhog day with her and the summer hols - 3rd year in a row she's cost a packet during summer)[/STRIKE] Drama as always on the naughty tortie front. Phone call from vet at 1pm offering her a 'free' overnight stay tonight because one of the machines that they needed had broken down so they can't take her 4 dodgy teeth out until tomorrow... £500 estimate (and that includes the free overnighter)
    [STRIKE]:cool: physio appointment later[/STRIKE] Ow
    [STRIKE]:cool: get the kids to do a bit of decluttering with me[/STRIKE] ds seems to love this - he was challenged for 17 items and kept going until 38
    :cool: mow the grass later when it cools down a little bit Nope - I just hate it that much
    [STRIKE]:cool: make the most of the weather and do some washing[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool: and also get me and the kids out for a walk[/STRIKE]

    Also got dd to cheer and back - completely forgot about that, but it was far less stressful without a full working day on the front of it. I'm just about finished a baby blanket crochet wise, and have been asked to do 4 more so that will keep me busy, and relaxed.
