Hope the bike ride goes well. Ticks are horrible,jack gets them from time to time. been to the lottie to do some damage limitation. About a third is waterlogged and the rest is very wet. On the plus side, i rescued the garlic. Here's the biggest elephant garlic. Going back now to cover the ground that we have cleared.

Thanks Michelle, I doubt whether they could have done anything other than recommend painkillers. The queasiness has gone now too. Morning all, been awake for over an hour, Jack has been restless too, I think it's too muggy for him. I'm hungry now so am going to make a bacon roll and a cuppa. Jack's gone back to sleep! Lol

Beautiful flowers! Great names too.

Glad you have got the paperwork done Owl. Fingers crossed for your job Alex and Michelle Good luck with the assessment Mary Good luck with the catering tin of coffee Jazz! I love cheeky dogs. Well, I think I have a cracked or strained rib from my mammogram. It was quite painful at the time and I made myself hold my breath, just to get it over with quicker, but The machine definitely closed down on my upper ribcage, just under my shoulder. I really felt strange on Wednesday afternoon and yesterday, in quite some pain, though it is a lot better today. This didn't happen last time, I suppose it depends on the skill of the person using the equipment. I decided to work from home in between visits too yesterday, so that helped, not being in the office.

Serves them right Alex! Home for a quick cuppa, then back out visiting, everything has gone nuts today also took some painkillers as the procedure has pulled a muscle in my neck and shoulder. I would really like to have a nap, but that's not possible. Yawn. hope everyone is ok.

One word......osuch! We certainly do Marion. I was chatting to the lady doing the x ray and she told me her last job was with Capita, processing congestion charges. Bit of a career change! Glad it's over, waiting for results is the worst thing.

Hugs Jazz. Morning. Busy busy again today, and a mammogram midday. How's that for random??

"whispers" it July http://www.therefugeforums.org.uk/forums/index.php/topic/52714-julys-jolly-jests/

Pinch punch....Hello July!

Don't try this at home! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-2166608/Adorable-year-old-girl-giving-sister-disastrous-lopsided-haircut.html There's a very funny audio interview further down the page.

So sorry. Sleep tight Vena.

Glad it's working out.

I have no experience of this, but just wanted to say I hope all goes well for Megan.

Thanks Alex, it was fine, I don't mind jabs. ;) Mmmm, I haven't been to Pizza hut for ages Fantastic! It's such a horrible disease, I'm so pleased for her. Poor Archie. WTG Joss! Your welcome, I am looking forward to it. Hope the lurgy and weepy eye depart soon! Eeeuw Alex! Well, just after I posted here at lunchtime the sky went so dark, it was like night time. Next thing, bang crass wallop, huge hailstones, yes, the size of golf balls hammering down on the car. What a racket they made, I thought one was going to come through the windscreen. This was followed by a torrential downpour. Lot of roads had flooded, so it was a nerve racking drive to the other side of town.

Quick lunch break then back to the fray! Enjoy your four day weekend Alex Good luck with the hip Jazz x Thanks Marion, I know I should let it go by me, but it creeps up while I am asleep, then wakes me up ;( I have been to the nurse to get a tetanus jab because of the cat getting me yesterday. I wouldn't normally bother, but the house was such a sh*thole, that I couldn't take the risk. I didn't know that it now comes with the vaccine for dyptheria and polio, so that's me sorted for now. Right I'm off, back to the resident who moved yesterday to sort out his finances, utilities etc etc etc. I don't think it will be a successful afternoon.

Morning. Haven't slept well, still thinking of work stuff and have already sent three emails to my workplace so that I don't forget anything. Been awake for hours.

LOL!

Actually, come to think of it, I have a manky body part where the cat scratched me. As it is mostly just above my booby area up to my neck, I will not be posting pics. Ouch!

I don't know, but I am intrigued to know what has happened. Hope it's nothing serious. x

Thank you Marion, take your time, I'm not doing it till end of July and the justgiving page stays open for three months after the event. I love donkeys, I did sponsor one on the Isle of Wight, but sadly she died at a relatively young age of fourteen. I don't have experience of Pizotifen, but hope you feel better soon. x Alex, what a palaver with the insurance! I really don't like dealing with those companies. Glad ~Ruby had a good training session, I hope she really enjoys the experience. Thank you so much everyone, for giving to my challenge! I have not only hit, but exceeded my target! , can't wait to go and "do the deed " Now. :-) Overwhelmed by the support. I have spent the day helping to move a vulnerable elderly alcoholic man move house. My boss has agreed a move on condition that he gets some regular help in to clean as his old flat was filled to the brim with bags and bags of lager cans, rubbish, a build up of dirt and grime, covering all surfaces, his kettle, cooker etc etc. Not to mention the rubbish just dropped and left on the floor. He does not remember anything that he discusses with you, is not on the phone and doesn't read his mail. On arrival, nothing was packed, so the two men we hired set to work with the furniture, but it was so time consuming going through everything, as I wanted it to be his choice what he wanted to keep, or leave. Lots of things went wrong throughout the day, and then I also had to get a contractor out to fix the handle on his back door. All the while Mr H must have been drinking his lager, so was in quite a bad mood by the end of it! I have to go back tomorrow to get his utilities sorted and wait for some furniture we're getting from a house clearance, but blimey, what a long day. I need my tea, but need a shower first, only had a banana all day! And then his cat scratched my neck when he grabbed hold of me while I was trying to put him in the cat basket. Now on to my RMF. I had a call from a publicity company working on behalf of the people running the Petchampions competition. They want to drum up some local interest with the local press and do a feature on Jack. I gave them some more background on him, but did tell them that he can't possibly win as the leaders have over a thousand votes! Didn't seem to put her off though. Right, I'm off to vote for him again, now that they have renewed my interest. LOL I agree Alex, very hard indeed.

Archie's timing was perfect! Thanks Everyone, I have just got home and only Jack is here, Cherry has gone for a trip to Portsmouth with Keith, so her Gotcha day dinner may have to be eaten on a different day :-)

What a shame Thank you so much Alex I will go and check out the donkeys. I have permission now to put up a thread for our walk, so have done so in fundraising.

Jack and Cherry are taking along Keith and myself to complete a one day "life in the old dog yet" Challenge! We will be hiking up (and down) the 914 ft Beacon Hill in Leicestershire, followed by a walk round Melton Country Park, on July 28th, to raise funds for the Oldies Club. Any donations gratefully recieved, and details can be found Here: http://www.justgivin...=home_multiline We are currently in training, and the dogs got the all clear from the vet last night. Fingers crossed the weather is good, though rain or shine, it IS going ahead.

Eight years ago today we brought this little scrap home. She had been badly abused and needed lots of TLC. She is a lovely girl, full of character and we love her loads. Happy gotcha day Cherry xxxx

Great video Mary jack and cherry would like to say a big thank you to Archie, his baking skills are awsome. caused much hilarity at the PO sorting office when I had to show their Vaccination cards as ID though
