Wish i knew how to do multiple quotes! I really like that colour fired earth, and also the glass tiles are a brilliant idea, but i have no idea of anywhere that would do them round here, plus im not sure of the cost funds are quite limited im afaid as there is only me to pay for it all, the bold wallpaper would go really well. i had already thought of that, but id rather have paint so i can do it myself, i cant wallpaper at all so would mean having to get someone else to do it for me, plus ive had the walls skimmed so they can be easily painted Sophie i would love to see pics of your kitchen

there are 2 complete walls that will be showing, where there are no units, 22ft by 12ft

ive edited it now, pages 38 and 39

http://ikeaeu.ecweb.is/08/kgb/ pages 38 and 39 I hope that link worked That is the Kitchen i have just had fitted, its a pale yellow/cream, I have had black granite worktops and am having black ceramic floor tiles, and a white Belfast Sink I'm really stuck as to what colour Wall Tiles to get and paint for the rest of the walls, I'm thinking perhaps grey paint? any suggestions please

Wholeheartedly agree 100% with everything that Billy and Red Rotties said

Sarah i have Irish connections and have asked for you, fingers crossed

This is going back a few weeks now, but i think of it most nights when i go into work and it's made me wonder.... One eve when i went into work (in a bank) one of the cashiers, a young girl, was quite worked up over a letter she was reading in a magazine, she explained the letter was off a girl whose partner was threatening to walk out on her, because she was a huge big bro fan, and he couln't stand it. the bank girl said to me "you just would't would you, you wouldnt risk a 4yr relationship over a tv programme, if he hates it that much she should just not watch it" i said i disagree, i'd tell him if he was that shallow to dump me over something that petty id tell him on his bike lol. it's got me thinking though, so i thought i'd ask what most of you think, do you agree with me or her? not even sure if this needs to be in contro or not...

Hi, I think it's the "shepherd" he has, he brought him to the shop where i work to show me and he is indeed very gorgeous but only 10 weeks old so looked just like a German Shepherd to me, i had a cuddle He does have a lot of experience with GSD's he recently lost his old boy age 12yrs and has a bitch already, he is part of a display team and does put alot of time into his dogs, so hopefully he should be ok

I presume thats how it's spelt can anyone please tell me if this is an actual breed of Dog,.. as one of our customers has one apparently, nobody else here has heard of one, so we just wondered if he's made it up!

I vote conservative and always have and i'm not ashamed to admit it. me too!

Quite hard to post this yet as things are still very raw, but please can anyone help me overcome my fear of meeting other Dogs on our walks. Chelsey is our Bull Terrier, she is a very relaxed Dog who likes to play with a large branch or stick, she doesnt take much notice of other Dogs really, and when we first went to meet her 3yrs ago, we saw her playing with other Dogs on the park, but since Kai, and the problems we had with his aggression ive totally lost my nerve, and i freeze if another dog approaches, the other night for instance we were walking near where i live and a loose German Shepherd came out of a Garden, hurtling towards us, luckily it stopped when the kids shouted it back, but i totally panicked and tried to pick Chelsey up not a good idea i know, but i didnt know what to do. Most Dogs we meet onlead she ignores, but occasionally her hackles go up. We had one incident where my OH's Border Collie attacked her for no reason, and was biting her Nose hard Chels defended herself and bit down breaking Tess's leg, and although it was quite horrific it was totally not Chelseys fault, Tess just lept out of the car window and attacked her..... but it still makes you realise what she's capable of. I want to be able to enjoy our walks but need some help to overcome this fear ive now got,any suggestions please?

I was supporting the Bloodhound too, and got very emotional at the huge cheer from the crowd, i liked the winner, he was very "showy" but not really my kind of dog

So touched by all your kind words, it means so much, thank you. i know in my heart of hearts i did the right thing but i keep seeing his little face looking at me so full of love, because it was, you could really see it, and the way his little nose twitched in the breeze

Kai went peacefully to the bridge yesterday, in my arms right to the end. i am distraught, never thought anything could feel this bad i miss him so much, feels like my heart has been ripped out, and i wish i'd persevered, im so so sorry Kai, i know you know how much i loved you, but you trusted me 100% and i let you down. Thank you to everyone for your supportive posts

Sorry i missed this, sending best wishes for a speedy recovery, and love to you Cindy

Hi thanks we do have a Baby gate, but Kai jumps it as though its not there! he has no problem clearing our 6' fence either, we have had to improvise that! cant really shut him in another room either because he howls and bashes on the door, he gets hismself in such a state if hes shut in anywhere, i "think" poosibly because he spent the firt 5 months of his life confined to a small crate he hates being anywhere where im not, and perhaps that is part of the problem, thing is how long do i have to sort it before its too late

Firstly i know i should have posted this in Dog chatter or behavioural problems, but to be honest i only use this forum, so i hope it's ok to post it here. I really do need help here Some of you may remember Kai my rescue staffie, we had many problems with him over the past 3yrs we've had him, he has bitten once and attacked a young girl once, well he pulled her off her bike, we have coped with this as best we can, we muzzle him on walks and if anyone comes to the House as i cant really trust him around strangers, I know the reason he does this is fear, he is truly frightend and worried about most things, we can tell this as as soon as he has his muzzle on he shakes violently the whole time, i know he is terrifird of children, we have had a behaviourist out and have tried T touch, Although the problems have been manageable, it hasnt been easy, its quite a difficult way to have to live. I was terrified when my daughter became pregnant, because of Kais fear of children, but he has been OK while she's been a baby, but now she has found her feet, he is not coping well and has snapped at her twice the last 2 days, she loves dogs, particularly Kai and it is difficult to keep them apart in the same house. I contacted a couple of the Staffy rescues when he first bit, and they both advised to have him PTS. i couldn't bring myself to do it, and we have tried to work through it, but to be honest i now think that time may have come i couldnt forgive myself if he was to bite either of my grandchildren, but what do i do? what would you do in this situation, I "think" i know what i must do, but i need advice please. I need help to make the right decision

My most played are The complete Stone Roses Crowded House best of Stop the Clocks Oasis

This sums it up for me

I think he well deserves to Die! i don't give a stuff about the rights and wrongs or going down to his level, string the bastard up, stone him and let him suffer is my opinion However the retributions that will probably occur would probably make it not worth it, so for that reason alone i think i may disagree with the death penalty for him

last Mon, Ellie my 7 week old Grandaughter was obviously in some considerable pain as she began to scream and was quite inconsolable, she is normally a very placid, happy baby who hardly cries, and sleeps through the night! my daughter is very lucky! we knew something wasn't right so Deneil got her a Doctors appointment, the Dr she saw is the least popular at our surgery, but was the only appointment left, he checked her over, but didnt check her ears, said he couldnt find anything wrong and it was probably Colic and told Deneil to keep an eye on her, he then gave her a lecture on being a young Mum, asked who was supporting her, made some comment about "its always the parents" and sent her away. Ellie continued to scream, pretty much solidly through the night and following day, i phoned the surgery for an emergency appointment at 3.30pm as Deneil was unable to get one when she phoned in the morning! after a very heated discussion between me and the receptionist, i was told there were no appoinments available at first, then offered to squeeze her in with the Dr. who had already seen her, i didnt see any point in that so it ended with me saying fine ok i'll take her to the Hospital. One of the other Doctors( the one who specializes in babies) called my Daughter and told her to take her in she examined her fully, checked her ears, could find nothing wrong so again said it's probably colic and prescribed coleeze(sp) by 10pm she had blood and mucous leaking from her ears in large amounts, so we took her to the out of hours Dr who diagnosed a severe infection of the middle ear, and probable perforated eardrum poor little soul! she gave her anti biotics, and with hours Ellie was much better! the problem now is....the anti biotics have finished and Ellie still has some mucous leaking from her ear, is this normal? or do we take her back to the Doctor? havent got much faith in our own GP's now to be honest. what would you suggest?

My lovely kids have between them kn@ckered up the way my Tv/DVDplayer/video/freeview were wired together, could someone help me out please? i need to know where the main ariel goes to, and then which scarts/cables go to which

Take your time preparing your lady garden - THE WASH CLOTH There is not a woman alive today who won't crack up over this! I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the week, but early on Monday morning, I received a call from his office to tell me that my appointment had been rescheduled for that morning at 9:30 AM. I had just packed everyone off to work and school, and it was already around 8:45 AM. Since the trip to his office would take about 35 minutes, I didn't have any time to spare. As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas, wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself a quick wash in "that area" to make sure I was at least presentable. I then threw the washcloth in the hamper, donned some clothes, hopped in the car and raced to my appointment. I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I was in Paris. I was a little surprised when the doctor said, " My, we've made an extra effort this morning, haven't we?" I didn't respond. After the exam, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home. The rest of the day was normal... some shopping, cleaning, cooking, etc. After school when my six year old daughter was playing, she called out from the bathroom, "Mommy, where's my washcloth?" I told her to get another one from the cupboard. She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink, it had all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it."

Good Morning all I'm Babysitting today, while my Daughter is having a Baby free day and earning a bit of pocket money, working in the Diner, she has another 5 months off her "proper" job yet, on Maternity leave, i can see her going back sooner as she's missing it already anyway so far, so good Ariyan is still asleep after a restless night, maybe i'm in for a quiet day, fingers crossed, still havent decided what to do today yet, was going to go to Walton park but looking at the weather maybe that's not such a good idea. where else could i take a 4 week old baby
