Morning
Not as cold this morning as I expected. It was very cold last night & I expected a hard frost this morning, but it's quite mild in comparison to last night
I shall be off for a swim when the doglets have had their breakfast
Loobie - if you can't go for a drink with your admirer, could you go out with him as part of a group on an informal night out type of thing? If you're lonely, you need to do something about it and having an admirer could solve your loneliness for a while.
I'm no-one to give advice on relationships though, I've been mostly single for 27 years. I've had the odd relationship in that time, but prefer my own & the dogs company and at my age, that's not likely to change now
Kittycat - you've been given some good advice on here. What goes on in a relationship, as long as the participants are happy with it, is nothing to do with outsiders.
Owl - sorry to read about your mum, I hope she recovers well.
Merledogs - I hope you managed to get some sleep.

It looks like it's going to be a nice day today, the sun is shining
Sending
to everyone feeling poorly, sad or confused this morning. I'm no good at multiple quotes and my memory is carp, so I can't remember who said what 
I hope the boiler gets fixed before the really bad weather starts without too much expense
I hope poorly/injured/scared animals and humans are feeling better very soon
Have a good day everyone, it's Friday

Good Morning Fugees
It looks like a pleasant morning here, blue sky & quite mild. I shall be off for my swim shortly.
I just did a reply with multiple quotes & everything, then the quotes all got mixed up & I couldn't remember who was who
Anyway, sorry to read about Owl's mum, dementia is horrible, my mum had it
I hope Snow's cold gets better soon ((hugs))

Since giving up eating meat a few years ago, all I use mine for is rice pudding. It does make a lovely pud though.
I use 1 litre of semi skimmed milk
3 tablespoons pudding rice
6 tablespoons sugar (I know, but I have a sweet tooth) (you can use less if you don't have my sugar addiction)
Put everything in the slow cooker crock, put the crock into the microwave & heat on full for about 12 mins (until it just comes to the boil. Take it out, give it a stir, grate some nutmeg on top & put into the slow cooker, which you have switched on before starting.
Leave it to cook for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally if you remember.

Fabulous! Thanks, now I shall treat myself to one for Christmas. It was just that I read somewhere that it didn't give out radiant heat like the one I've got currently and me n the dogs do like a nice gas fire to lie in front of
The "coals" glow red when its on full, but I promise you, unless you are heating a huge room, you won't have it on full for very long. I must admit, I like to see the glowing coals, but it just gets too hot and its a waste of gas to have it on full just for appearance.
-
Cinders it is wagg chicken and vegetables, not worker so hopefully they will be ok?
Yes, mine are on normal Wagg now & they seem to be fine on it
-
Good morning Fugees
We have lovely clear blue sky here but it is extremely cold. It appears that we had a few snowflakes during the night that froze on impact. The bin lid is covered in frost & snowflakes but it is also frozen shut.
Have a lovely day everyone

Got some Wagg dog food reduced in Costco for the dogs cause I cant afford the petrol to go to Claires to collect my CSJ - hope it is ok
Is it normal Wagg or Wagg Worker? I ask because I was feeding mine Wagg Worker until a few weeks ago & had a lot of behavioural problems with Betsy. I've been told it's a bit like blue Smarties and children
-
In that case, can I ask a question please? I've been thinking of getting the Provence for years, but finally came to the decision to buy it this year. Only thing I need to know is, if you are sitting in front of it, do you get the heat from it? I like a fire I can sit in front of and warm my hands
Let's put it this way - if you're sitting in front of it & it's on full, you won't be sitting there for long. I tend to switch it on full for about 10-15 minutes, then turn it right down. It gives out an amazing amount of heat & being cast iron, it still gives out heat for about an hour after you switch it off. I love my Provence, it wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny.

Guess who turned up at the door about an hour ago folks? Yes the Kiwi. She asked to see Ruby and when I told her she wasn't here she did an eye roll. She was exuding attitude so I just asked if she had come to pay back the money she owed Ruby and she did a long "yeeeeeees" and look black-affronted that I had the temerity to ask. I told her she could give me the money and I would see that Ruby got it. She refused and stood there like a sulky 15 year old saying she would wait until she saw Ruby in person.
Personally I think she had come to try and get Ruby to agree to her stopping over tonight. I was really annoyed with her attitude today - there was no "thanks for putting me up and feeding me" - no, just feckin attitude!
So did she leave, or did you invite her in?
-
I have a calor gas fire too, mine love it
which one have you got? Mine is the Calor Provence. Its coming up to its 5th winter now
-
Have a great holiday Claire
-
The clocks go back this weekend don't they?
They do indeed
Good morning Fugees
It's very cold here (well, not where I am because I'm still in bed, snuggled under my duvet
) Yesterday evening, my gas bottle on the gas fire ran out and Betsy was cold, despite having the central heating on, so we had to come to bed early 
. She's now doing her "starving spaniel" act and getting Pansy to whine too, so I'd better get up & give them their breakfast.Have a good Friday everyone

Thanks for the replies
Switching to a raw diet isn't an option I'm afraid as I don't eat meat myself and would find handling it extremely distasteful (I know, I'm a wuss
)Maybe it is the B vitamins, I've no idea
but whatever it is, her behaviour seems better on the normal Wagg food. She's not perfect (what dog is?) but she is definitely better than she was. Nothing in the house has been destroyed or even damaged in the last week or so 
. Here's hoping she keeps on improving, I do love her, but it's so annoying to find destruction every time I go out. -
Morning
We appear to have slightly less murk this morning than the previous few days. There's even a hint of blue in the sky, but there is a very cold wind.
Claire, I'm glad you've got a date for your op, is it a total knee replacement? I hope you get a sitter sorted soon
Jacobean, good luck with Virgin. It reminds me of when I tried to cancel Mum's contract with Talk Talk, they just wouldn't cancel it until she died
Merledogs, I hope the meeting goes well. I know the feeling about talking rubbish when you're nervous, I used to have the same problem when I was working. I called it Motormouth

The cake was bought for our team to share, so it's half gone today
We should know how much money the cakes raised for Macmillan cancer care soon.Well done you
Poor old cav we went tracking last week was found dead of natural causes near the area we pinpointed. His time was probably up anyway, he was 15 and getting very confused, but I'm sad that we couldn't get him home for his last days. The man who found him said he was just lying there, and hadn't been there 2 days ago, so must have gone since then. But the owners were relieved to have his body back, rather than just vanishing. We did get the right area, but there was a lot of scrub he would have been hiding in when we were there, places he could go where we couldn't, and he had left such a labyrinth of scent in his confused wanderings that you couldn't tell whether he was coming or going.
Poor little cav
Did anyone watch Rolf's Animal Clinic on channel 5 tonight? They were filming it when Blue was over there - eagerly watched out for him in the background, but no sign of him tonight.
I watched it

Morning Fugees
Tis dull, damp, drizzly & misty here again
Loo, I can confirm that Lhasa Apso doggies are gorgeous, there's one in our village & he is just scrummy
Marion, I'm glad you got rid of your lodger, here's hoping she doesn't find her way back to you.
I'm just drinking my first coffee of the day before getting up & making the dogs' breakfast.
Hope everyone has a good day
-
Suzeanna, sorry to read about your son, I hope he can sort out lots of contact with his son. How old is he?
I'm awake early because I've got to get ready for Church. Once a month, our service is at 8am, so I have to set the alarm & get up early.
The dogs have been out in the garden for a wee & it's a bit misty out there. As it's still dark, I can't tell yet what sort of day it is.
Have a good Sunday everyone

Up until recently I have been feeding my dogs Wagg Worker, partly because they like it, partly because they seemed to do well on it & partly because it's cheaper than a lot of others. (Worker is typically £11.50 for a 17kg bag, normal Wagg is about £9.50 for a 9kg bag)
Anyway, I've been having behaviour problems with Betsy, she's been very destructive when I've gone out & left her. I don't leave her very much, perhaps an hour 3 days a week, occasionally 2 hours, but never more than that. Pansy is no bother at all, she just settles down & sleeps, it's just Betsy that's the problem.
So, I tried switching food, & put them both on normal Wagg a couple or three weeks ago. I wondered if the Worker mix perhaps had too much protein, or too high calorie ratio, thus creating lots of energy.
It's taken a few weeks, but I think Betsy is getting better. I've just been for a swim, I was out for about an hour & a half & she's been fine. She was ok yesterday when I went to do a bit of shopping too. Is it possible that the food is the solution? Or is she just growing up a bit & realising that knocking chairs over, eating CDs, candles, shoes & clothing is not the thing to do?

Morning
Hope you're feeling better this morning Merledogs
Glad your money arrived Jazz. I got mine from my mum earlier in the year and I'm using it to build an extension to make a downstairs toilet & shower. Because of my arthritic knees, I'm finding it increasingly difficult to get up & down the stairs. The builders are starting tomorrow
