    Hello,
    I missed yesterday as couldn't get on at all and today we have been to a dog behaviour expert for some advice on how to calm down the scary thing. I have not been able to do anything other than a quick s and s when dog has been out for this walk. Then I have to rest while he is out, as the rest of the time he is so demanding and I can't keep up, as I don't have much energy. He is asleep now so I don't dare make a noise in case I wake him up. This is harder than having 4 children under five. Or has time diminished my memory of it all?

    Sorry I haven't read all your posts but some day soon I might get a chance to. Hugs to anyone who needs them.

    Pigpen I did! :D As soon as i noticed it! Ha, serve him right if he gets a fine, AND one of the wheely bins has left a big scratch on his back bumper. I took a photo! And I requested an application form for a disabled parking bay outside the house too.

    Shell Drinking lots of coffee and Doing Really Important things On The Computer Like Playing Bejeweled helps cure lazyarsitis too :D

    Got both snots and grots from school, and before I left I ironed like, 6 things, my ironing is totally done for the day (says the lazyarsitis) I will get brats some snacks, put a DVD on and go up and do more (says the FLYlady in me, she is a tiny green pixie that wears a combat style skirt and jacket with killer heels).

    More :coffee: anyone?

    Evening all, bedroom is done apart from vacuuming which I will do tomorrow, did the sheets last night because we planned a shopping day today.

    Got Xmas finished apart from what I need to order online and my Mam's present as she's seen something in Matalan she wants which they didn't have in the clearance store at the Metro Centre. Considering how late I started I think I will be finished earlier than ever.

    embb good news that your DD is seeming to be a bit better, give her a big hug from all of us
    tia, what goes around comes around......at least he was parking there and not you, would have been scratch on your car
    poohbear good luck with the pooch, they are demanding, when we ended up with Holly last Xmas it was chaos, but rewarding too
    LJD1, big hugs, stress isn't good for you, hope you manage to get some relaxing time in between the breathing, I use Bach's Rescue Remedy, find it helps a bit.

    Somehow we ended up with a Wii, we'd talked the boys out of one as I wasn't going to pay OTT prices on ebay and nowhere had them in. Walked into Toysrus and they'd had a delivery of them this morning. So thought may aswell. Oooops that means spent quite a bit more than I planned. Nevermind :rotfl: story of my life.

    New list is done, out tonight as we have to go to Middlesbrough so thought I would do it now incase we're back late. DP has gone to get a new tool box first, might end up being able to keep his garage tidy if he has somewhere to put stuff. Need to order Nephew's Transformers dress up suit before they go out of stock again so I best do that now....

    Anyone want to swap as I don't want my name, ewww snots, poops and monsters, I don't like it :(Scroogeymonster Snottypoop
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Poohbear Good luck! Have you tried any of Ceaser Millian's methods? The Dog Whisperer? Amazon have his book for under £10. I think it's great, I know a few people who help rehabilitate and re home rescue and problematic dogs who use his methods. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it too, and no standing around banging pots.

    Must do ironing.... but, too lazy....

    Glad I'm not the only one with that terrible syndrome - lazyarsitis! Just had a nice little lie down. Then had a very upsetting phone call from a neighbour - not nasty, but her husband died two weeks ago and she is in such a state. We sent her some flowers today but I think that just started her off again. I am so scared of getting old(er) and being alone. She has a great family but it's not like having your husband there.

    I must learn to be more grateful for what I've got instead of always wishing my life away.

    I've t-r-i-e-d to make it up to at least 26,700 pigpen but my thanks button is only working intermittently (sp - suppose I could just say "off and on" or "now and then" :rotfl:)

    Have been very busy today - ON Wednesday's I do my dailies and go to work (oh I must have done soimething really wicked in a past life to have ended up with the boss I have :mad:) and then I come home and..................










    My friend visits bearing oodles of cream cakes and we sit and talk about books all afternoon while we eat 'em :rotfl::o

    So - no flying today!

    Can I be nosy and ask why some people have got special funny names? I'm dying of curiosity! if it's something discussed earlier in the thread I haven't had time to go back and read everything I missed while I was locked out of the site :confused:

    Tia - you so make me laugh! I love your turn of phrase! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Pigpen - no more thanks for you then - you have enough

    Poohbear big hugs hun. Since my Dad passed away and Mum has found it so hard on her own I too worry about being on my own. Try not to worry about something that you don't know will happen and like you say make the most of each day then at least you'll have no regrets x

    If it was Tuesday I'd be upto date! Dinner nearly done and then it will soon be the footie run - will make the bed's whilst they are there and then finish upstairs tomorrow as I have ironing/mending and card writing on the agenda tonight.
