    I go away from the computer for a few days and there is all this drama with the pooch.

    Sooo pleased he is getting better :D


    And what a sweetie in his picture, those eyes are fantastic.

    There is always a drama with that bloody dog! Hopefully this is the last one! :rolleyes:

    Hi Scousey :wave:

    I've not had chance to read your diary for a few days :eek: and can't believe all that I've missed. Ever so glad about Woofer (although I couldn't see the pic of him on the link :(), and fantastic news about the debt total.

    Get you with your four figure debt! :T

    Nothing more too tell! :p

    The receptionist is quite nice. I've caught her looking at [strike]woofer[/strike] me a couple of times aswell! :rotfl:


    I am really pleased Woofer is ok, :beer: :beer: that is brilliant

    but frankly re the above quote I am going to ban anyone else I know from dating/getting a girl/boy friend. I had decided I didn't want one but all I have done today is think about how nice it would be to meet someone.
    so you aren't allowed ok?!!;) if I have to be sad and single so does everyone else!

    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Am tempted to pay off £500.01 so my debt is £8,999.99 though! :rotfl:

    But then it would make your figures ever so untidy which could prove to be very annoying and very troubling every time that you look at it. :o

    I do understand that bit and it is probably just me being peculiar but all those odd penies would drive me to distraction. :o :rotfl:
