    Just spotted a post by you on another diary.

    Why are you paying for your flu jab? In England we are classed as a vulnerable group so get it for free... not the same in Scotland...

    Too late for this winter but I hope worth investigating for later this year.....

    Will do. Thanks :)

    Not hopeful TBH as our council are having a big meeting next week to vote on yet more budget cuts.

    I would like my boy to be 18

    You'll be able to take him to the pub then, and have hair of the cat the day after...

    Well, he's certainly not at his best.
    The other day he was really very wobbly~~just like me:cool::rotfl:
    Some days he is better than others.
    Like me he is stubburn.
    I just have to take each day as it comes.
    I just dont want him to be in pain.
    I think it was because I had been away that one night it really brought it home to me.

    Worrying does nothing, so stop worrying. That just means you live it twice.
