wishing you all health, wealth & happiness now and for the coming year Fee & Hounds

i had fishcakes with rhubarb sauce and bubble & squeak patties. God i love it when OH is off work: however it does nothing for my ever increasing arse fee

Oh matey-what a shitty time for this to happen. dont try and do it all at once- 1. see a solicitor ASAP-dont sign/agree/do ANYTHING until you have had formal advice 2. make sure that you look after your own money-dont let him or anyone have access to your current account-joint signatories can lead to all sorts of trouble 3. could your parents look after Murphy for a bit -if you need to move out ASAP (it is much easier to rent if you are temporarily dog less) 4. if its just you-at least in the short term you could look at flat shares even room rents until you can draw breathe and make real choices. 5. Go talk to the debt agencies-getsome advice/help now befoe the debt rises and you feel even more like you are drowning remember to look after yourself (eat/sleep/talk) cos you will need all your strength take care fee

to be loved like that is a gift few ever receive be at peace fee

as someone who has yet to learn how to post pics (Cloudy where is your idiots guide you promised me?) i know bugger all about IT. However-the economic climate Is tough. Techy stuff is a very competetive market-you are obviously wanted right here, right now-and to turn it down will not bring in repeat work-especially as you know some of your current customers are likely to go under. if it were me i would take the work: id do a clear path analysis of the work (is there anything you can outsource?) which will let you realistically time table the work-so it doesnt feel quite so over whelming. Im about to sound brutal-i know you work hard & do long hours: but thats the price you pay for being at home and avoiding rush hour, shitty colleagues etc & choosing your hours...and being at home with dogs. maybe its worth looking not at the amount of work you do-but how you organise it: without wishing to sound like i have swallowed a management text book: work smarter, not harder. fee IOW id take the work!

Oh Hell. thinking of you all at this awful time fee ps the vet admired Lilys collar...her Peacock one

thoughts are with you all. be strong Fee

thinking of you all fee

I am so pleased for him-and you! Fee

hoping he feels better....and you can breathe Fee

im in. fee

colder then a witches titty here. still snuffly. Both dogs curled up to me last night-Lily whilst fast asleep farted in Michaels face-the look of a farted on saluki was priceless-so i ended up ith a fit of the giggles. tis the small things eh. as i have always managed to be outside of the cliques both in forum land and in real life....i just hope noone feels too isolated/sad at the mo. fee

Oh Di im so sorry-my thougts are with you. Go in peace little one know you were much loved Fee

dogs happy-i made beef stew this morning...so hounds got to assist with the unused beef. can someone please explain to the gummy one that if you take the blue squeaky hippo into the garden when you go for a pee. It doesnt walk back in by itself -huffing & puffing and getting me to do it-is not the bloody same as bringing it in yourself. fee ps still feeling like Poo. im off for a long bath and a book reading session

if you need help this way with transport again (Orpington is local to me) just shout fee

well I am that particular breed of scum known as the NHS manager. i currently manage the entire "complex needs" service for my london borough (mental health) this includes: 1 home for life residential home 1 assertive outeach team 2 long term/recovery teams 1 adult fostering sevice 1 supported housing service 1 hostel 1 aspergers service 1 in patient assessment service 1 early intervention in psychosis team (young people) 1 supported lodgings service i wont bore you with the staff/patient numbers involved-but both are substantial im responsible for staff/patients/carers/budget/environment/data quality/mental health act/infection control/training/supervision/food/quality of care/links to primary care/mental capacity issues etc etc. i will put money on the fact that i have failed in several of these areas-right now-today. maybe i havent checked that everyone has done the child risk training-maybe a leave form is incomplete-perhaps i have employed a member of staff whose not up to it. I appreciate that managers are all considered to be over paid F wits who dont give a toss about the patients/staff or service- I too go to work in the morning and do my best for all in my Borough-sometimes its not going to be good enough....but im not the enemy-i am however always a convienent target Fee

lovely new board-thankyou Mr P. i have The Cold. so im so warm i am practically steaming! I naturally am a very warm person-so normally if its cold the dogs cuddle up-i was obviously too warm to cuddle last night as Michael put a pillow between us fee

ted hughes-his poems for/about Sylvia Plath are something to behold i love Tony Harrison/seamus heaney/keats/byron byron/verlaine-if you want soemthing very adult!! id go for a mix/collection of love poems-there are many to choose from. fee

i have 4 friends 1-Deb-known since school-lives in Northamptonshire 2. Carol-known 15 years-lives in Scotland 3. Clare-known 6 ish yeras-lives in Dorset 4. Steve-X hubby-lives in canterbury i live in kent. i dont have a single local girly mate-to share coffee, keep fit- any of that stuff with. i am naturally very self sufficient, and over the years have found i want/need les social contact: and that has led to an increasingly small social circle. However i know i could ring any of the 4 above and at any time of the day or night they would do anything within their power to help me. my mother would say-if you have 5 good friends then you are truly blessed-if i add on my parents and OH then i think i am one of the lucky ones. Fee however-if i wanted advice/help on a doggy matter i know full well i could post here or ask Elricc/Claz/Mel...and i wouldnt be afriad to ask

back from mad old Auntie florries funeral in beautiful nunhead (which for those of you not from sarf london is near to Peckham) Lily made me laugh like a drain-she has just found toys-and her great love is a small blue squeaky hippo-which she runs about with squeaking rapidly with a tail whiring like mad. Michael has the arse cos she also found his deeply treasured Mr Squeaky ( a present many years ago from Claz when he stayed at white lodge-6 years ago??) Hounds-honestly fee

Alex i am thinking of you ...and the rest of the family. fee

ah but thats what we love about you! someone solid & relaible fe ps who is also a right old softie -and who sent Lily a beautiful green peacock collar-so a misearable old fecker with a heart

poor Mark. i have just found an empty bag in the bedroom. this morning it contained special organic dog chews-that i thought were too hard for the poor delicate toothless one. it appears Dr Watson that i was wrong-the bloody toothless one can scoff just about anything including extra hard dog chews meant to help descale teeth! fee

good lord-has it really been that long? i used to have long brown hair-i now have a short dykey do with silvery stress highlights thats what being a fugee will do to ya! Fee
