Just heard on local TV news that a new greyhound track is due to open in December 2014 at Towcester Racecourse.

It looks as if the loft extension has been made without Building Regulation approval. http://www.communities.gov.uk/planningandbuilding/buildingregulations/ It's possible to bring the construction up to the required standard after you've bought the property

Reminds me of when someone gave OH a bonsai for his birthday. OH hates bonsai trees and promptly liberated it so it could grow naturally. After that OH & I were called the Bonsai Liberation Front by our friends

Me too

for you and Scoobs from Auntie Ziltha for you and Scoobs from Auntie Ziltha

My paternal Grandma had a brandy every night before going to bed and my father's youngest brother had a whisky. Both lived into their nineties. My Dad who rarely drank alcohol died at 59.

Towcester racecourse have submitted plans for a greyhound race track. Please sign petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/9/stop-greyhound-racing-in-towcester/

Buster is an elderly staffy X who was lost on a walk. Unfortunately kennel with stray contract told finder to let him go as they were closed. Link to Doglost http://www.doglost.co.uk/dog_blog.php?dogId=25604&status=Lost

Hi Michelle, can't PM you. Just to say Buffy and Dixie are sorted.

I had something similar when I asked a child what her mummy's name was. She replied "Mummy". I said "What does Daddy call her". The answer was, "Sexy"

I've had problems accessing the internet for the last 4 weeks so I've changed my ISP and now have a new email address. Would transport & home check co-ordinators please PM me for my new address. Phone numbers aren't changed

Happy Gotcha Day Dukey . I remember showing OH his video and twisting his arm very tightly behind his back but OH has a very strong pain threshold and would not let me apply to adopt him. Duke looks so happy in his forever home. I love happy endings.

Lindsey, so sorry to hear that Squeak has gone to the bridge.

Harlestone Firs is 11 mins by car from the Travel Lodge (post code is NN5 6UJ if you want to find route) On the other side of Upton Way, not far from the football stadium, almost directly opposite the Travel Lodge are Storton's Gravel pits that have been turned into a nature reserve. (less than 5 mins walking) Right from Travel Lodge on Upton Way past new housing development Upton 1 are the River Nene and the Grand Union Canal both with walks along side. (just over 5 mins walking from the Travel Lodge) You are only a stone's throw away from Clazuk whose house is close to the lift tower (the Northampton lighthouse)

Lots of speedy recovery thoughts for Sid and for Elaine.

Louise with Boots, Snoopy and her daughter's jrt Emma did a wonderful promo job for the OC. In the photos they've found a pair of jrt poopies and are telling them about the OC. It was a very hot day. We could have raised a lot more money if we'd been selling icecream.

A school governor (think memsahib from the raj type) once told me she thought that it was terrible that capital punishment had been banned in schools. I assume she meant corporal punishment but then again maybe she didn't.

Ours was a Christmas day appointment and we had to leave Sam the cat for surgery - he had a urinary tract blockage and had a catheter fitted. We had to pick him up at 7.30 a.m. to take him to our vets on the day after Boxing day. He spent 3 days at our vets for £100ish including antibiotics and medication for a heart murmur that our vet discovered but the bill for Vets Now was £700+. Catheterising isn't a very big op so I thought it was a bit steep. Vets Now didn't pick up the heart murmur either.
