  1. Merledogs I want one of those but am worried about condensation? I have a tiny house with no central heating,just a wall hung gas heater in lounge.It does get quite bad condensation already and I'm not sure whether a gas fire like these would make it worse.Am hoping we don't get snow here,I live off a lane at the bottom of a steep hill so there's no way I can get the car out to get to work.It's only a 30 minute walk but that means leaving the dogs even longer than I have to now plus it's along unlit lanes - not much fun at 9.00pm :rolleyes: But no extra arrangements made for winter,Trixie suffer from cold terribly and I don't want to put her in a coat in case she catches it on something while I'm out but have one of those things to put in microwave for pets - it really reatins the heat for about 8 hours,and I put that under her blanket.

  2. It is amazing how it adds up - especially as I had a couple of dreadful shows with very poor results - I'm going to be more careful which ones I attend next year as it's soul destroying spending all day at a show and coming home with just £35.00 - although of course every penny couts,I'd rather there had been a few more :laugh:

  3. I'm sending the left over samples of dog food that were donated and have an expiry date before June 2012 up to the poundies at Dogs 4 adoption here in Taunton,hope that's OK.The pole gazebo has given up as well,just managed to keep it upright with the aid of several props but it won't be useable again - not safe.

  4. Great show,Selina along with some friends organised "doggie games" proceeds of which came to Oldies Club and they raised a fabulous £246.29 :biggrin: :biggrin: Games were very popular and despite some heavy rain at times did very well.I also ran a stall alongside with usual tombolas etc and raised £61.00 - so a good weekend for Oldies Club.This is my last stall of the year (well unless something else comes up) and adding up all my totals am really chuffed to have raised £1000.50p this year.

  5. Just realised I've forgotten a friend's birthday this Sunday,I simply do not have time to go into town for a present so thought I'd cop out and send flowers/plants or something else from online.I am really really stretched financially right now so 20-25 is max I can pay.So who have you used and had good results with,or does anyone else have another idea I could use.She's 82 and I've already done the sponsored dogs etc for other gifts.All ideas gratefully received :flowers: She is a dog lover and has 2 JRTs but buying them gifts is out as one has food allergies and the other is very toy possessive.

  6. Had a super walk along the beach at Brean with Marge and Keith,Amy and Fly (Bilred on here) and others sure did blow away some cobwebs as it was a bit blustery but was a lovely day and super company :biggrin: Of course I left the camera in the car didn't I.And it wasn't Trixie who disgraced me being stroppy it was Duncan :ohmy:

  7. :mecry: so so disapppointed with today's results.It was very badly arranged,there were several stalls around the dog show area whcih was in a field adjacent to main site - and there were a few others,mine included up around the main buildings.Very few people came up from the ring area and those that did had spent their money on the stalls there.Last year I took over £120,this year just £36.50 :mecry: And it poured with rain - yet when I got home just 5 miles away it was bone dry and they had no rain all day :rolleyes: Very strong winds cracked the corner of the gazebo,so if next Saturday is bad weather I won't be able to do the Feniton show unless there is no wind at all as I doubt it will hold up much longer.

    and Trixie and Duncan in rather close proximity to the rabbits - the one they are eyeing up was bigger than Trixie :laugh: I did erect a screen to stop them eyeing it up but the rabbit wasn't the slightest bit concerned.
