    Good news on unexpected money. Re the dog bowl we use a stainless steel water bowl and have done ever since we had a dog who would carry his bowl around and then drop it.

    At least it was the dog bowl & nothing else.

    Hope DDs op goes OK and you have a lovely day too. 

    First week is the hardest with the op, big after that it really starts to ease. It has changed my life totally. X

    You deserve your day, enjoy it guilt free. There is nothing you could do for DD while it’s happening apart from worry, so it’s good to take your mind off it.
