Yantan Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Morning all. It's going to be another beautiful day Well my car has gone to the garage so fingers crossed that there's nothing major required to get it through it's MOT. Eve I know just how you feel Steph sod the domestic duties - put your feet up! Get out and enjoy the lovely weather.

owl Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Hope all is well with Trudy and Uncle Albert, and Yantan's car. I will be looking for a cheaper car insurer. Have been with mine for 25 years and like them, but they can only insure my van at commercial rates because I use it for transporting. When I had a car it didn't cost extra but as it is a van it counts as business use. Hope someone can do me a better deal. eve Bones the AWOL husky got very bold last night, approached a dog walker and sniffed round his little dog which was on lead. The man got a good look at her, and noted her unusual white patch between shoulders. Looks like she is getting a bit lonely, which may work to our advantage. Man will be out same time and place tonight with a spare lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merledogs Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Well my car has gone to the garage so fingers crossed that there's nothing major required to get it through it's MOT. Fingers crossed Meant to ask - how is Ruby these days? Steph - I second what Maz said Bones the AWOL husky got very bold last night, approached a dog walker and sniffed round his little dog which was on lead. The man got a good look at her, and noted her unusual white patch between shoulders. Looks like she is getting a bit lonely, which may work to our advantage. Man will be out same time and place tonight with a spare lead. Sounds encouraging Yay for uncle Albert RMF : I've been eating fudge. It's sickly.

owl Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Found another insurer via SAGA, and have a quote for one third of what I was paying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Meant to ask - how is Ruby these days? She had picked up really well and was making great progress but the depression started creeping up on her again last week and now she's struggling. I'm hoping it's just a blip. I think it seems worse to her because she has had a few weeks of "normal" and was hoping she'd finally seen the back of it. There seems to be no middle ground though. Either she is on top of the world or back in a deep pit of despair. Phebe I'm glad you found a much cheaper insurance provider. Woowoo to SAGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzeanna Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Lets hope today is the day Bones is reunited with her family! My OH has an awful cold and cough..he went to work for 7am, and was sent home again at 8.30. I've got this scratchy tickly throat now, if he's given me his lurgy, I'll murder him!

Either she is on top of the world or back in a deep pit of despair. Hopefully it's just a temporary blip RMF : I've just ordered another bluddy seatbelt off eBay for my car. If anyone remembers the faff I had last year as I had to have three replaced thanks to Timmy I've kept him away from the seatbelts since then, but there are some small cuts in the front passenger seat belt and I've no idea how they got there as it's never ever used Anyway, my friend's hubby has seen a photo (he has his own garage) and reckons it will fail the MOT on that, so rather than pay £300 for a brand new one, I've paid £100 for a used one. I just hope it bloody fits because last time I got ripped off and sent one which was the wrong belt, then had an awful job trying to get another one. Please keep fingers crossed that a) it's the right belt, b) it's MOT-worthy, c) that the SRS light isn't something which costs a fortune to fix and d) nothing else nasty turns up cos otherwise my car is going to have to sit on the drive until I can afford to get it fixed.

owl Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 suzeanna, hope you don't get the bug. Everything crossed for the merlemobile. They are all coming out of the woodwork, or rather the undergrowth, today. A man has just seen norty gone-feral patterdales Jess and Bramble in a field close to previous sightings. He saw a poster straight afterwards and phoned owners, who were unfortuntely in Bristol but are now on way home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Glad there have been more sightings I stopped to fill the car up on the way home - they were queuing around the block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yantan Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Glad there have been more sightings I stopped to fill the car up on the way home - they were queuing around the block. According to The Guardian online it's because David Cameron has warned people "to be prepared". Tis the same here with filling station queues Hope the seatbelt issue works out OK Hurrah for sightings of the Patterdales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittycat Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Fingers crossed for the car Alex Hope Ruby feels better soon Hope all the lost dogs get reunited with their owners. What has Cameron said we have to be prepared for? What's going on with petrol? I'm living in a bubble right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmagic Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Fingers crossed for the car Alex Hope Ruby feels better soon Hope all the lost dogs get reunited with their owners. What has Cameron said we have to be prepared for? What's going on with petrol? I'm living in a bubble right now Tanker drivers are threatening strike but no date set yet. Last week the government stated there would be no shortages as they had arranged for the army to maintain the supplies. Today, David Cameron has advised people to top up in case of shortages. So , what happens? Everybody panic buys and the fuel stations run out. That makes more people panic buy when they can. But they will probably have used that fuel before a strike happens. I think it is a ploy to set Joe Public against the the tanker drivers, in the hope that the bad feeling will dissuade them from striking. Just read on Doglost that two Newfies left with a pet sitter 'went missing'. The police recovered the adult but the pup is still missing- believed sold on to unsuspecting people. What a nightmare for the owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
