    So.... changing tack slightly.... do you think you qualify for sainthood yet? Or not? You're one of the good guys, and don't you dare forget it!

    You mean no-one told you I'm Sir SS? :confused:

    :p

    Thanks hun. :)

    I do bang on a bit don't I? :rotfl:
  • Hi slug! :hello:

    I see, first post and I get told I'm stupid! What a way to introduce yourself! :rolleyes: ;)

    Yeah you say there is no hardship but you've lost a relative. :confused:

    And I'm hoping by the kiss at the end that you are female. :)

    well, politeness is overrated I reckon!

    Well of course, I'd far rather have got the money another way but I like to think of my Aunty looking down and being happy that I'm enjoying my life again ... or she's thinking that I'm really stupid for ever getting in this mess and the money would be better off elsewhere!

    Yes indeedy I'm female - don't panic! But I'm also attached so sadly not a new person for you to flirt with ... though I'm not sure that will stop you!

    cheeky - we've only just met and you're already making judgments on my character :p!

    Having said that ... a harmless flirt never did anyone any ... erm ... harm! ;)

    Glad a few people have stepped it and called you stupid :D

    Just wanted to add I'd been lurking and reading threads for a while before signing up but you were one of the people that inspired me to get the hell on with it. You also made me a nerd for which I'll be forever grateful :rotfl:

    You've come a long way yourself & helped support many others to do the same. So thanks :T

  • Took woofer to the vet today. His toe has flared up again. Back on antibiotics for another week then they will re-asess. I think he'll probably have to have the toe amputated but there is a risk that if it's spread further up his foot he will have to have his leg amputated! If thats the case we'll have to have him put down as he just won't be able to cope on 3 legs! :(

    Also while we were in there we hard a massive bang and a scream! Seems some kid on a moped collided with a car. He was having CPR when we left and the helicopter ambulance was hovering! Didn't look good! Makes you kind of feel quite strange! :undecided

    Oh goodness, what an awful thing to see. Poor kid. And poor you.

    I hope Woofer's antibiotics work this time. What a crappy day you have had. (((hugs)))

  • It has been pretty crap! :rolleyes:

    Hopefully woofer will only need the toe off! It's just a horrible waiting game! :(

    It's a tragic waste of life if the lad doesn't survive. I'm assuming he is still only a teenager. Just makes you think doesn't it. He could have been doing a journey that he has done a thousand times, but all it takes is a split second for peoples lives to be turned upside down. It's scary stuff! :undecided

    oh no - that is awful. Witnessing accidents is always horrible and does make you feel kind of funny, eh?

    Sorry to hear about Woofers toe - hope all clears up quick.
