Sigmund is available for appointments.

he's probably drowning in wanton wenches by now.

As if that was anything new.

Just been really grumpy with a semi RL friend. Vet has cost us another £80 and if this doesn't work we have to resort to surgery and another £300plus. . These last few weeks have cost us a fortune with changing flights, extra kennelling, driving to and from London. Think I've just finally cracked. Having a large PC with coke to try and calm myself down

Want Lucas or JP to just whisk me away from RL to a deserted beach somewhere for a few days.

Oh dear, Vampy. If she's a friend, she'll realise that you're tense right now and cut you a little slack. One of the reasons I don't 'do' pets is that they seem to be an endless expense. I saw a figure for the amount spent in the UK every year on dog and cat food and was .

Some of JP's desert locations don't look very relaxing, but another friend would like to take you out for a drink.

Or he could drop round with a takeaway?

Or cake?

Although fresh fruit is better for the health

Thanks Maud - you've finally made me totally dissolve into tears by being so nice to me!! But think I need it!

we only rehomed this dog from a friend to stop him going into a dog's home - he is really lovely, but for a dog who's apparently never been to the vet, he seems to have been about 20 times in 6 months - thankfully not been taking notes how much in total we've spent on him. I can categorically say we will not be replacing him - the children and the colonel can have this as their experience of a dog - he's 11 years old - he can't last much longer! that sounds really mean, he is very cute and cuddly - just blooming expensive!

Oh no! I didn't want to make you cry!

Lose yourself in a comforting hug.

Gotta dash - see you later!

What I wouldn't give to have the doorbell go now and have that man there with takeaway fish & chips?!

Thanks Maud - always wonder what he's holding in his hand there - looks as if he's about to stab her

Have a good evening - I ought to go and speak to my children now I've calmed down a bit!

What I wouldn't give to have the doorbell go now and have that man there with takeaway fish & chips?!

I take it you haven't seen Moving On, Vampy? John Mulligan is a seriously nasty piece of work.

I have been at eye clinic all afternoon. Everything ok but struggling to read or write after eye drops so probably won't be back tonight.

Hope your evening's peaceful Vampy, and that alls well with the other Academics.

Nope. Spooks and strike back that's my lot!!. I really meant RA but I'm not so sure I actually want him per se - probably prefer Lucas or JP!

Hope your eyes ok.

Ah Vamp, so sorry you are blue

Do have a large vat of PC yourself.

The thing Gizzy is holding while giving Marian a hug is her jewelled hair-pin come dagger.

Spiro, hope you are back to normal soon.

::waves bleakly from outside window::

I have visitors and MrJumper is away so I can't even escape upstairs with the laptop - boo hiss.

If Gizzy turns up can you send him in the direction of the Priory, please?

Vampy, huge ((hug)) for you - how long is it until you get to your parents' and you can have a rest?

::Staggers back in::

I am sooo tired. I wonder whether any kind gentleman might rub my feet?

::Hopeful::

STOP PRESS: I couldn't find one of those, so will this knight do?

Don't ask Gizzy, Maud, he always insists on being the rub-ee.

::slumps on chaise longue::

What is it with foot-rubbing anyway? i can't bear to have anyone touch my feet.

Ah well, we will have to agree to differ on that one. I find having my feet massaged tres tres relaxing. I wonder whether Vampy does home visits?

She might, if you made it worth her while.

I could offer her a glass of wine

::seats self next to Maud and proffers feet::

I love, love, love having my feet stroked.

Having visitors always reminds me of exactly how unsociable I am, I detest having to make conversation all day and evening. I just vant to be alone...

Here's something to cheer you up, anyway, Harry!

I bet you wouldn't be averse to a little tete a tete with this person...

::Marvels at the size of Harry's bunions. In one so young, too::

Remember the Chinese proverb. Guests are like fish: they stink after three hours days.

::Feels a little queasy at the sight of all that naked Gisborne flesh::
