I'm here !!

Sorry, but my log-in was blocked for a while - I was beginning to think the ModPlods were freezing me out.


Was anyone worried ?

Didn't sleep last night - more worried about your pussy really how is she

There's a special promotion at Sainsbubs at the moment if you fancy a few new frocks

I used my vouchers on wine - £30 worth for £15 Nectar voucher (which didn't cost anything in the first place - so £30 free wine)

Thanks for asking Blod - but she's a he (it's only Stephen with the gender realignment problem !

He had a fit on Friday morning and then was really good over the weekend until he had a couple more on Sunday night and Monday morning. It takes a lot out of him and he is zonked for hours or even days. The vets have confirmed there is no bacterial growth in his ears but both his ear drums are damaged and they think he has infection in his middle and inner ears which could be affecting the impulses to the brain and causing the fits. They are now targeting that infection with a different antibiotic which I hope will work. He is back at the vet for a check up from the neck up tomorrow night and they are talking about putting him on anti-epilepsy medication whilst the infection hopefully clears up.

OMG poor thing has certainly been through the mill but it's amazing what the vets today can do - chin up and hope for the best

[qbman1]

Thanks. He's not really suffering and he doesn't know much about the fits and then he just sleeps. We would never keep him going for the sake of it so we are constantly assessing his quality of life and, as you say, hoping for the best

My dog is now 15 years old and is much slower - walks take ages but she still wants to go and she eats well too but spends a lot of her day sleeping. She has cataracts and is a bit deaf but while she is still active and well it's okay but her quality of life is the most important thing.

[qbman1]

No QB today. Hope pussy is OK

Your concern is most touching - I was at a funeral yesterday

[Stephen]

Just checking his name QB. His name is Jolson isn't it. The cat that is, not the persons funeral

[The Tinker]

Afternoon - glad your cat is holding his own. Had an old friend on the phone last night as her cat has gone walkabout - my sympathy was waning after 1.5 hrs!!!!

[Not so ancient mariner]

Evening all. I trust you are all keeping well, and hope Cubie's moggie pulls though Ok.

[Silver_Shiney]

Good morning all. Already been out to B&Q and saved myself £10 on a strip light and a tub of paint

Now waiting for two deliveries with our new bathroom

Let the day commence !

[Mervyn and Trish]

Some mistake there surely Lord Shiney. I thought only old people got the Wednesday discount at B&Q. How did a young chap like you manage it?

[Stephen]

Have you got the installers in Alan or are you doing it yourself.

It depends who you know Merv with a discount card. Who said that

Here we go again - you two off in your mutual admiration society !

Who gets a little man in to change a striplight ?

Perhaps he has very low ceilings and don't forget the £10000 bathroom he has coming.

[qbman1]

I feel privileged to be associated with the wealthy classes

[Stephen]

What you really mean is, can I borrow some money

I passed the right side of 60 last year, boss.

I'm doing it myself - adding a light to an existing spur that I installed in the loft about 20 years ago, so no need to inform the buildings inspector! Also putting in another couple of power points in the loft for the model railway that I am keen to build.

Perhaps he has very low ceilings and don't forget the £10000 bathroom he has coming.

The bathroom bits cost just under £3,000 (Victorian Plumbing have some rather nice things). We're having the lot stripped out, tiles and all, and putting in a walk-in shower, and wall panels all round, new loo and wash-hand basin. There's a couple of guys coming to do the work and also fix the lounge ceiling where the previous shower/bath installation leaked and caused a fair bit of damage, sort out a problem with the landing floorboards, replace the broken stop-cock and put a new garden fence up. Their labour and fence comes in at about £5k so we should have enough to replace the lounge carpet and still have a sizeable amount of change left from the loan. Undecided as to paying this back (loan interest 3.5%) or drip feeding it into our monthly savings account (net interest 4.5%)

[qbman1]

Looking forward to the bath-warming party !!

[towny44]

Shiney, if the current shower has leaked causing damage, can't you obtain some sort of insurance contribution towards the bathroom work?

[Silver_Shiney]

John, by the time I've paid the excess and they put future premiums up, it isn't worth the hassle

[qbman1]

"Borrow" hadn't crossed my mind - I was thinking more of a hand-out to the poor and needy !

In a nutshell - that's how insurance works !!
