    Morning all


    Seems very cold here this morning have put the heating on for a while to heat the house through, I don't think its raining though which would be lovely for a change.


    Something and chips for dinner will go and look in the freezer after this I think there is some chicken Kievs in there.


    Must do a wash tonight and have a sweep through downstairs, I also need to phone the dog groomers to book madam in for a hair cut.


    Lainey how did you get on at they vets ?


    Good luck to the TA's today xx


    Dumpling it is good to have a good weep and wail sometimes I do hope today is a better one for you, sending love to you all xx


    Have good days all xx

    Dumpling please don't do yourself down. You are a wonderfully loving caring parent to your girls and you should be proud of yourself. You are dealing with so much and it is no wonder you have the odd wobble every now and again. Please take care of yourself and know you really are doing your absolute best and are from all accounts doing your daughters proud xx

    TA I do worry about you and all the running around you do looking after the GC. I sometimes wonder if you need to step back a bit and take it easier. I hope all goes well today. Look after yourself, you were so poorly for so long, you really need to look after yourself and know your limits. I'm sorry if I've spoken out of turn but I worry about you. You have enough going on with Mr TA and his illness. Take care and make sure you rest when you can xx

    Morning everyone,

    Am sorry to say that it's the worst possible news re Rosie, we stayed with her whilst they administered the sedative so they could do the scans and then left. I went over the stables to see my girlie and then got a phone call to say that Rosie's heart had stopped whilst under the anaesthetic for the biopsy and unfortunately they couldn't revive her. I drove straight home, picked up my DOH together with Tilly and we all went to say goodbye to our beautiful girl. She was wrapped up cosy in a blanket and just looked like she was asleep, we lifted Tilly up so that she could sniff her and hopefully understand? She lay down with her sister.
    Feel completely heartbroken but keep thinking that it was probably the best thing that could have happened for Rose, no invasive surgery, no horrible treatments, she just fell asleep.

    Sorry I couldn't bring you better news x

    Good morning lovelies :wave:

    Dumpling This is not your fault. my view is that you are never given something you would not be able to cope with so by that logic you are more capable than others. You are incredibly strong and loving no matter what is thrown at you and I am in awe of you.
    Take care love and you dont need to be wearing those pants when you are talking to your friends on here:A
    Holly Glad you enjoyed your meal sounds lovely
    Karcher nice to see you I thought you had absconded to the other thread :D
    TA hope your hospital visit goes well today

    True to their word AO text me at 7 with a 8-12 slot for mothers washing machine ...hoping they arrive early and then I can get on with the rest of my day without worrying about that poor delivery man :D

    Yesterday was very different than originally planned. I have been asked to be a volunteer money mentor at our local youth club so had to last minute attend a course on all the material that is covered. Should be fun and will certainly help having years worth of wise words to call on from old style. i will be covering such things as cooking from scratch, meal planning, budgeting, credit cards and avoiding "bad" debt.

    Food today will be chilli and flat breads for dinner and an oat muffin for lunch. Need to do some bits for work then I can do a quick run around tidy

    Hope everyone has a good day as much as they can :A

    I am so sorry for your news but she did not suffer which is a blessing.

    dumpling

    It is not your fault and it is obvious how much you love and support your family.

    House is a right mess so going to tidy up the kitchen and living room after having a quick breakfast and going out to get some money from the post office. Someone is coming round to help so will ask her to help me move a few bits into the integral garage out of the way.

    Youngest dd had mentioned coming up for the weekend but have not heard anything recently so not sure what is happening but beds are all made up and will play it by ear.

    Nelski

    Fingers crossed your Mum does not kick off at the delivery guy. She will probably save any discontent for you ;)

    Hugs to all
