Yantan Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hope your day has improved Steph. No Synflex doesn't work for Scoobs thanks. Marion that cottage looks fab. Is it part of owners property or out on it's own? No it's on it's own. Owners live in England. It's not as remote as it looks though. It's in the suburbs and is accessed via a housing estate Looks fab! whereabouts in Scotland? It's in Alloway on the outskirts of Ayr and 10 minutes from the beach Here's the website in case any one is interested: Doonbank Cottage I will be able to give a first hand account when I get back and I shall let you know if there are any drawbacks - there's always something!

Jacobean Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) Great thanks. Would be great if garden is enclosed but used to letting them out on leads on hols, no sheep please and not too close to anyone. If they won't take 3 dogs you are to spend the week insisting that they do Scoobs got in his bed when no-one was looking and seems to have taken root in there. Have just realised what will prob be my problem with the cottage. Coal or wood burning fire shudder Edited November 12, 2011 by Jacobean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Scoobs Michelle they do allow 3 dogs, we are taking 3. They will certainly consider more if you have a chat with them first They are big dog lovers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndzrus Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 MIL is still complaining she's in pain but the exterior bruising has gone. I take complaining as a good sign so am not as worried now. but she's been through a lot so it's only to Scoobs is struggling badly all of a sudden with his arthritis. Glad your MIL is feeling better and I hope you get something sorted for Scoobs soon. we're going out for a meal I hate going out, it's an effort to get ready, a mission to get there and it's cold Enjoy! Woowooooo I'm going to Scotland for the New Year and staying in a rather fab sounding cottage which is extremely dog friendly and sits in it's own 4-and-half-acres of wooded grounds WTG Marion! That is not too far from my friend's who we visited briefly in october. I see there is a walk to Girvan. We always stop off there, as it was where my dad was brought up.I am so pleased for you! Snow Didn't sleep well last night and had a walking about nightmare that left me v tired today. Had quite a nice late morning outing though and came across a farmers market/craft fair. i now have some lovely hand made bracelets for my friends and a another gift for someone else. We also bought some other bits and bobs for dinner tonight. jack had to have a bath today as he had fallen in the canal again and also, somehow managed to get weed on by Cherry He smells a lot better now We have been working on stopping draughts and sorting out heaters etc, so tonight we have been a bit hot! I prefer that to being cold though, my shoulders tense up and it's painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kittycat Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I want to see the coke ad * throws a paddy* Tonight was a farce, firstly I was told I had to be on the train for 6:10 which I was, I arrive in Manchester to wait almost two hours to be told they hadnt actually booked a table anywhere and ended up eating in a restaurant I could have eaten in locally! We ordered nachos which we didn't eat and had Chinese on the way home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Morning Scoobs got in his bed when no-one was looking and seems to have taken root in there. Scoobs Marge - hope you slept better last night Ms Knees - sorry your night out didn't go to plan We've sorted out departmental Christmas Meal. We're going to Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester.

houndzrus Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I arrive in Manchester to wait almost two hours to be told they hadnt actually booked a table anywhere I would not be happy if that was me. I get realy grouchy if I have to wait a long time to eat. Marge - hope you slept better last night We've sorted out departmental Christmas Meal. We're going to Hard Rock Cafe in Manchester. Apart from being very hot, I slept ok thanks Alex. I had a much nicer dream before I woke up too. Flying over a lovely deep blue ocean in the sunshine. (Probably something to do with being too hot!) I made a start on our office Cristmas do on Friday. The office is split between those who want to go to last year's venue (a nice local pub), or TGI Fridays.

phoebejo Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Anyone building a patio this weekend? I may need to hide a 5ft 10ins body He made his billionth attempt to give up smoking last week. As usual, it made him hell on Earth to live with. Nothing I say or do is right and he's quick to point out my inadequacies Take this conversation we had yesterday, regarding school photos and the photo shoot I had booked yesterday for a nice group photo of the girls: Him: Are you buying Georgia & Emilys individual school photos? Me: I doubt it. They're nice but expensive and I'll wait until I see the group photo from today before deciding. Him: But Georgia & Emilys ones are really nice. Me: I know, but we can't afford them all. Him: They would've made nice Christmas presents for Mother & Grandmother. Me: So will the group one. I'll buy all three if you want me to. Him: Don't be stupid woman! That'll cost a fortune! Trust you to waste money! Today I'm saying nuffink at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Bejo - probably not the best time for him to be giving up smoking Had a lovely long walk with the dogs. Saw one of the regular dog walkers whose husband died suddenly a couple of weeks ago. I never know what to say and to my shame I tried to avoid her by dawdling (I'm not great at social interaction at the best of times) but she waited for me to catch up. She seems to be coping remarkably well cos most people would be in bits, but I suppose when you are out and about it's easier than when you're at home in an empty house.
