Chris this must be a very stressful time for you, hope Gary is better soon.
Well I had to go shopping, and there seems to be so much going on here, but I managed to get some Brufen and my back seems to be improving.
Good news about the pups eye screens TW
Hope you all have a good evening, try not to drink too much at tonights party. I notice it is the older members that are the ring leaders

Morning Debbie, oh dear, poor little tilly and her sore tail It could be worse though Debbie, at least the actual abcess wound is healing nicely, so that's a blessing isn't it. I'm sure the injection will sort out the rash and she'll be 100% normal by the end of the week-end, fingers and paws crossed for her. Don't work too hard today will you, you might be on rota for the big clean up in here tonight!

Afternoon Jenny. Not a good day for you either then I'm so sorry about your friend and her poor sons, and thank goodness she has a friend like you for support.

Remember when my washing machine flooded the utility room the other week when Dave had just finished refurbishing it! Our problem was he had stuck the waste hose too far down the pipe and it caused a backlash of all the waste water, never seen so much water on a floor, so I know how bad it must look out there. Never mind, hopefully, O/H will be able to fix it all, and then he can clean it all up can't he. Oh those norty little doglets again today!!!! Can you imagine having dogs without that little bit of norty in them though??? Not much fun are they!!!

Afternoon Rosebud So glad it was a simple job to fix that leak, I had that type of leak in the caravan, it had been going on for weeks, nobody noticed until the bedroom carpet the other side of the bathroom started getting soaked! I do remember about those cow pats, and I still can't work out just why people would do such a thing as to open a gate to a field with livestock in it!!!! Hope you enjoy the week-end markets and sell lots of your lovely home made wares, it should be busy with Christmas fast approaching.

Afternoon June Wot? No chocolate biccies today then?? Toast??? Oh well, you have been o/d'ing on the old chocolate lately I suppose. So, so pleased our little family all past their eye tests today, and that photo, well, it's got to be one for a frame surely Another busy one again for you today June, it always wears me out reading your daily schedule, no wonder you need that flop in that comfy chair with a nice cuppa, try and stay there for at least half an hour, you need to! You're only allowed up to stir the soup pot or rescue Ash from any escape routes he might be investigating whilst you're not looking.

Waiting for Dave now, must have a shower and get on with the curry. Zena is zonked out on her side, but as soon as I get up, I'll be presented with that ball. She threw up again this morning, but that was after breakfast, she drank too much too quickly and half of it came back up, I should have stopped her but I was on the loo when I heard her drinking! I don't know what goes on with that dog I really don't, but I should have put a bit of hot water in the water bowl, it's a big, deep bowl and I had only just filled it from the tap, so it was far too cold for her temperamently little tummy. I've learned my lesson there.

I'll try and pop back later when the magic bottle arrives, once I've welcomed Dave home and fed him, which of course, won't take too long!

Oooh loving the puppy fix today!

We have some 'light' snow...the sort of snow that looks like it won't stop. Got cadets tonight and tbh I could do without it but I need to collect medical forms for the weekend.

Yes, I noticed that too Jen I'm one of the younger ones, along with yourself of course. I've managed to steer Sally away from their influence, by getting her stuck into my family history. Mind you, it could be the wrong course I've sent her on, coz from what I heard, they were all a bunch of alcoholics lol! She could come back with big ideas for her magic bottle here!!!

Afternoon Lorraine You be careful going out in that tonight, it could get worse and it might be difficult getting back, and on top of that you've got a cold so wrap up warm, better still, can't somebody else pick up those papers for you?

yeah, like you Helena, I am one of the younger ones as well, can't see why these oldies like to drink so much

I'll have you know
That I am not
An oldie nor
A drunken sot

It's all her fault
The one who's got
The magic bottle
Wot I've not

Had chance to lay
My mitts upon
'Cos when I do
It all has gone

Now where is that bloomin' bottle?

In a Magic Box where you need to know the Special Code to get it

Good job you didn't say you were coming to Northwich beforehand, I'd have been tempted to sneak out to meet those little rascals.

Malka - brilliant

DaisyDog - poor Tilly and poor you having to pay out so much just prior to Christmas My last dog got a dreadful wet-eczema rash where the vet had shaved her prior to spaying. Fortunately she never had to be shaved again - I wouldn't have allowed it anyway. I hope you poor little girl is feeling better soon.

June - great news about the eye tests Today's puppy fix is adorable - thank you So pleased you've chosen the name Isis for your pup

Rucksack seems none the worse for eating the paracetamol thank goodness. If we get away with no upset stomach I will be even more delighted

The water leak was from a joint at the back of our washing machine - OH tightened it and it all seems fine. It must have been leaking for days and days as the plaster is wet behind it.

I'll try and drop by later to see who is being disgraceful
