merledogs Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Morning Jules - sorry about your friend's ex Spins - sounds like you need to cut contact with this person altogether if you can, they are obviously manipulative RMF : Woke up at 4am (so that's started again) and got up to let the dogs out in an effort to stop Max pizzing in my living room. He'd already bluddy done it Crate is coming out of the car tonight and into the living room, I'm sick of it smelling like pizz in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Just opened my email and there was one from my dad to say he had arrived safely in Florida, where he'll be staying for the next few months. Not jealous at all, nope not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizzie Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Sending to all those who have lost friends or relatives, are poorly or are otherwise in need of them. That's it really. I'm still feeling reclusive but will false smile my way through another Christmas lunch. So far most have been diabolical foodwise so I hope today's is an improvement!

JulesB Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Norty Max. Alex, do you think you might sleep better when he's in his crate and you know you don't have to have an ear cocked for him wanting to go out Not being able to sleep is 'the' worst thing for wrecking your whole day RMF: Will see how the meeting goes with my black-hearted, power freak, micro-managing boss, but I may be about to resign from my part time job this morning. And in the teeth of the recession too. Gulp All the silliness at work is just doing my head in and I am not putting up with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Karen - how is your mum doing? I have just heard from my friend that her estranged husband has been found dead in a hotel room. I've been chewing on all night over a meeting with my boss in the morning, but suddenly it doesn't seem all that important. Thank you for asking - my mum is doing suprisingly well physically. She's gradually got more movement in her arms and legs and is able to walk a short distance with help. Her memory is getting a bit better but she has some very odd memory/understanding related problems! For example she thinks that the room that she walks to for lunch is upstairs, but actually it's only next door to her hospital room. She will be allowed out of hospital for a few hours for my grandma's funeral next week then depending on assessments/available support services might be home soon after Christmas. Sorry to hear about your friends husband and hope that you can resolve things with your boss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they need a wakeup call, let's hope that it doesn't actually need you to resign for you to give them one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gooster Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Morning, am back to work today, still got lurgy bugs and all my stomach muscles are hurting from where I have been coughing so much. Thankfully am only in from 11 till 5.30 then am off to do some fascinating diabetic training. Joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griff Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 :GroupHug: for all who require one. bosses can be such t*ts i was a bit gutted earlier in the week as i found out the fella who used to own the company i worked for had died.....Tom Walkinshaw, a thoroughly nice guy, both him and his company were way ahead of the game in equality stakes and gave me a chance when most wouldn't. hopefully going to fetch the crimbo tree tonight it is a pop up one with all the decorations already attached..... i despise having to faff with the tree, lights and decorations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufus the wonderdog Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 The end is in sight for my house. I have a painter in who should be finished start of next week. Electrician is near finished, plumber needs one more visit and my carpets come next monday. Going to phone the furniture storage people and see if they can get my stuff back to me before xmas. god help me it will be chaos Good luck with getting your house finished and the furniture in - you do pick your times Her memory is getting a bit better but she has some very odd memory/understanding related problems! For example she thinks that the room that she walks to for lunch is upstairs, but actually it's only next door to her hospital room. My mum has been left with that problem since having her last stroke, almost 2 years ago. It does make for some strange conversations as she tells us she's been upstairs - that would be very difficult as her residential home is all one level Do hope that your mum continues to make improvements and that she can come home soon have been asked to submit my rates now , ooh lord my nerves are in pieces because nothing is for real untill I have a offer in writing Will keep my fingers, toes and everything else crossed for you Sam I'm finally going to tackle my Christmas shopping - that means going to the shops Wish me luck!

collies r best Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Gooster When my gran died even though it was expected it was still a big shock when it happened if that makes sense,it really knocks you. HGLS, thats good, fingers crossed Helly, does this mean instead of opening pressies you'll be unpacking boxes Griff , Spins and Jules Karen, pleased your mum is improving Question about 'out of control' wire haired pointer Someone i was chatting to took a 16mth old one on 4mths ago and basically hes wrecking their house big time. He eats handbags , shoes, tarmac furniture and anything he can get hold off. Apparently hes a loving dog but just destroys everything in sight. They work [the woman does school hours]and go home at lunchtime , the dog has kongs etc but nothing seems to work. To me it sounds as if its the wrong dog for them , i dont know how much exercise he gets although i know he goes out daily. They're lovely people but at their wits end with the vandalism. Is this normal for the breed and any ideas what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
