Phili

Phili she is terminally ill and you are doing the right thing - fortunately we have that option with our cherished pets.

You are definitely doing the right, kind thing Phili, as hard as it is. Thinking of you xx

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Thank you

I need to say "You are about as intelligent as the sole of your foot" don't worry I am not going to say it to anyone, it is for my story.

Put that phrase into google translate and it will tell you

But it needs to be correct and google translate is notorious

Anne might realise after a while. But she is a dog and dogs are far more interested in their humans attention than most things. I'm glad you want another cat, no matter how much you miss Maiko its so positive to even be thinking about getting a new friend.

I know, Anne doesn't really get it, thats why being a tad annoyed is so stupid and wrong an makes me feel so wrong.

I'm sorry, please forgive me. I know it took a lot of work. I just freak out a bit when things change.

Nothing to forgive.   It was down far, far longer than I wanted or it should have been, but we're back now

The world of IT takes lots of prisoners Phili ; it's unforgiving and stressful but change is driven by technological innovation and hardware and software dictate it. 

What we have now looks well worth the wait and the downtime was unavoidable. Really tough on Ashley and co-workers - can't imagine the stress involved for them. 

Hope you are feeling OK about it now Phili. 

Yes they were O.O

I saw one when I was a child - half of Cumbria saw it high up in the Sky a sort of shining orb. We were on hols at Keswick. It was never explained. 

Yours sounds really interesting Phili and close up 

I went to the Internet to see if I could find anything about that old UFO sighting from my childhood, to find that Cumbria is a veritable hotbed of UFO sightings 

I had to get my vote in early because it was a postal vote and I didn't see a lot of the following information. I feel manipulated. 

It's OK Phili. There was misinformation improbable projections and untruths galore - people had to make for postal votes it had to be earlier. 

The real truth is only going to emerge in the fulness of time - there was always going to be a major initial reaction to a Leave campaign win. 

Typo - People had to make a decision and for postal votes it had to be much earlier. 

Don't know what to do

You have to budget Phili. We've talked about this a lot in the past.....about steadily saving a contingency fund so that when unexpected things (like vet bills) happen, you don't find yourself in dire straits

The trouble is we seem to be constantly paying out for things. My OT does budgeting so maybe she can help.

It was, then Anne peed on the sofa and I noticed discharge from her vulva and so now she has to go back to the vet

Is she getting taken out enough? It sounds as though she's not totally house trained as she's done this a few times.

So goes out every few hours, sometimes one, sometimes two

Congrats!  I have to ask you Phili: What is your secret to weight loss? I would love to lose 6 lbs!!!!

I ate less lol

Lol  That is the secret!

I detest Jaffa Cakes, it's like chewing orange peel. Other half loves them

I didnt know I was eating so many, just kept going, ate two stacks

jaffa cakes are like cocaine to me - i can never have them in the house!

Amazing progress Phili, How do you feel?

Well done! You'll benefit so much from eating better (and less)  

Thanks everyone, had a bit too much chocolate yesterday though. I have been buying fruit cups but I have found that I don't like strawberries much but I do like grapes.

On what?

Youtube. They promote movies with official clips and trailers. It was enough for me to issue a warning LOL

Oh, Youtube is the biggest video sharing website in the world, you never heard of it? O.o

Report the window to the landlord to get fixed - and he may have insurance that might cover it. 

The council will fix the window but the sofa has had it.

Who is Anne? Give the couch a good scrub  xx

Because of the calories 

Well done you for resisting

Thank you 

It doesn't. it helps everyone else...

OK, I suppose it doesn't but it just feels like I am unfit to communicate.

...and there you go again. All these little things we say to ourselves impact on our well-being

Slowly doesn't matter. Moving is much more important. You're moving Phili....and that's what counts

As long as someone is moving forward speed does not matter. I was 10th from last in my bike ride yesterday, out of hundreds but I don't care because I did it, speed doesn't matter the fact you're doing it is all that matters.

I'm so pleased to hear that you are still moving forward - that's fantastic!

Phili - I had no idea about Prince until I read this - so sad - not my cup of tea but a lot of people loved him and he was just too young.

"Beat me on the bottom with the Womans Weekly".....wonderful line, always makes me smile. A life well-lived that has left her footprint indelibly imprinted. What better legacy? RIP

Me too ;-)

I want some figgy pudding!

YAY, fellow fig fans ^^ I love figs

Hope she is ok, please let us know x

She’s OK, it was her glands, they were badly infected. She is on antibiotics for a week

Pleased she’s on the mend Phili!

Did it go well?

Yes, she gave me a booklet and set me the challenge of weening myself off of fizzy drinks and told me what to buy in each food group.

Great Progress Phili! Hope it goes well.

oops!

Just retract your bid

I couldn't it wouldn't let me

You tell us Phili - what do you think?

I hope everyone ignores you on that one.  We'll see you (or not) in a week or two!

i had this when i swallowed a bit the other day...
