Re: March Army 2022

Afternoon everyone

Agree, love our dogs to bits but they are a responsibility and an expense. Like you Molly I was adamant I did not want another big dog and I have gotten landed with him. Mind you if I am going anywhere he is not my responsibility to arrange to have him looked after, it’s up to her and I let her know that. On the plus side you cannot put a price on their unconditional love.

Absolutely horrible here this afternoon and very windy. Much nicer earlier and I got my walk in. It is now bright on my way back and the birds singing at that hour are amazing.

Re: March Army 2022

Think it was me too asking about a dog for Mrs A. I can see the attraction, but i’d have no wiggle room for one in the family right now.
Although if we had space, i’d be opting for a Ukraine refugee.. a few in work have pledged rooms, An enormous commitment.

That was a lovely happy ending [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] :happy2:

Blustery day all right. Work, cooked, cleaned, run, repeat.. living the dream
(well without booze that’s exactly what it is).

Re: March Army 2022

Morning,
No, I've not wet the bed...............I'm going to the hairdressers.................all by myself. Another wee challenge for me. The only anxiety I'm feeling is that I might be late for my appointment. Then to Tesco. I've got to pick up a prescription for my eyeball. For some unknown reason one of my eyes is still sore after the cataract removal last year is still give me trouble.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION]...........good for you offering some space in your home.

Better get wriggle on its a long trek across the big field.................I'd better get the huskies ready

Its my last week with my therapist and will one of you remind me to remind me to ask how many people he's seen/seeing with anxiety stemming from the C word.

Re: March Army 2022

Evening...virtually no internet down here...jigs in and out...suits me a lot of the time but in true 'from the big shmoke ' fashion I get utterly intolerant when I can't access a website I just HAVE to see today!!!

Had a wonderful day just gardening...have a rockery already taking shape and detangled some fruit trees and bushes from briars etc...so satisfying...more tomorrow yay!!!
Right ..hope all are well...hard to complain really when we see what's happening in Ukraine...it's like....WHY???? Just why would he do that to those people...the child walking hundreds of miles on their own with nothing but a phone number written on his hand....takes a lot to bring me to tears...that did it..

Night folks..let us enjoy our peaceful countries while we can xxx

Re: March Army 2022

Evening all. I may pledge my mother's empty house for a small family.
There are thousands of unoccupied houses - of Nursing Home residents lying idle ... because if money passes hands the HSE takes 80% towards the costs in the care centre. Stupid carry on.
It's not in great nick but we can jazz it up a bit & get the broadband & telly switched back on.
'Course have to run it past the rest of them - and I can almost hear the reply.

Rosie's gone all weird. Something happened to her & I can't figure out what. She won't go up stairs or jump on beds or sofa. Most unusual for her.
I had her at the vet last week & he said nothing physically wrong - but I'm going back tomorrow. Has to be something.
Why would she suddenly lose interest in running & having fun? and afraid to climb stairs - has to be a pain somewhere.

Re: March Army 2022

Just a quick good night. Been a horrible day weather wise and bit of bad news too. A cousin who has been estranged from immediate family for years committed suicide yesterday. 52 and 4 kids ranging from 12 to 22. So sad. Think he had been suffering from depression for a while. Makes you thankful for what you have. Very satisfying clearing briars and giving new life, enjoy Molly. Hope poor Rosie is ok soon. Off to leaba night everyone.

Re: March Army 2022

Thats a bit of a worry [MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]. Probably nothing serious, rustop and JC might solve the mystery.
Great idea for your mams house. What's YS's next move?

Hope today all went to plan [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION] and your hair is fabulous!
I'm not pledging a room unfortunately, full house here.

Molly, I'm changing all our mobile phone providers and came across this link: Service Coverage - Commission for Communications Regulation
I was v surprised, as we could be getting much better service. It might be worth checking out who has the best coverage in your new gaff..

Re: March Army 2022

Morning all !

What's YS's next move?

IamMary he's not sure yet. But he did mention that there are options. He can stay in Waterford & move on to a 'sober house'.
That involves a few lads living together and looking for jobs or training for something different.

I think myself he will stay there. He loves the outdoors & there's everything down there.
He cycles 60k a few days a week out into the countryside and is learning to surf.
I think it's the best move he will ever make. Not the city of Waterford but all the other areas are beautiful.

Re: March Army 2022

I pressed send before I'd finished.......................so morning.

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION]...................poor wee Rosie. Has she been spooked by something or someone while she's been out...........my first thought was she might have been bitten by a tick, but her symptoms don't match. Then I thought a touch of arthritis but she's still a young one. Glad you're going back to the vets................its what they get paid for.
YS is really his embracing sobriety...............I wonder when it clicked for him. Funnily enough I volunteered with someone who'd been in re-hab and he surfs all year round. He must be crackers as the North sea's freezing in the summer let alone the winter.
Good for you offering the house.................we've offered our back bedroom.

My hair..............a very short bob. I've gone back to the 80s. Best thing is the lass who does my hair is a fab cutter so I can just wash and go. (wasn't wash and go a shampoo). No faffing about with straighteners etc.

[MENTION=15758]rustop59[/MENTION].............I'm sorry for your loss.

Had a look at that Mary and for sure mine is the worst coverage..I'm with Three....how do you go about changing mobile provider I wonder...never done it I've been with the same lot since kingdom come!
Evening all..wonderful day planting and digging then went down the river for a walk..just gorgeous..home had dinner now in bed with my book...how's all? Sad indeed Rusters...I wonder why I moan...I truly do..how many are going to your house Jackie? Do you specify or is it just whoever they send?

Re: March Army 2022

Good night everyone

Well done JC, wonderful thing to do. I would love to but between himself working from home and being antisocial I am outvoted. Will contribute in other ways, my heart goes out to them.

Fabulous day today, got the hair done so looking a bit more presentable.

Re: March Army 2022

Just popped into to say good night.............I was going to give the house a good auld tidy................... it still looks like a tip.

[MENTION=8529]mollyka[/MENTION]..............I dropped it into my SIL's lap. When her and family moved she joined the Women's Institute and swiftly made herself to the top echelon..........tbh she's a bit of a busy body............she's got her fingers in lots of pies. That makes her sound awful but she's lovely.
We really only have room to take one person...........two at a push so I doubt we'll get anyone.

Prolly get banned for this but just read up on Preti Patel.........she makes you want to bang your head on the wall.

Sleep tight and mind the bed bugs don't bite.

Re: March Army 2022

Well I'll get banned with you...she's an absolutely vile woman..and frightening how those preppie boys let her lose with her fascist hate speak and opinions....utterly vile
