Last thread was here

The (updated)(again)(again) 'rules' from our Just Shagging Originator for the Viroids:

Maintain a relaxed attitude at all times - drink if you want too, especially on your birthday (or when you've had bad news). Thread precedent dictates if you drink to excess you will get a BFP (but not recommended). (It just takes longer to get in the mood

X-post Crow when I bathe my dog she looks like a drowned rat Grin She's a bichon frise and she's really fluffy but when she's wet she's tiny really, and soooo cute! But she cries and looks at me with her sad puppy eyes till I'm done. Then when we dry her she plays with the air from hairdryer and rubs herself all round the rug GrinHmm She's daft Grin Maybe your cat realised you were helping her and that's why she behaved

one of our cats had a skin condition a while ago - he was very very very dandruffy, and the vet suggested feeding him oily food to help the skin.
then one day, we watched him come into the room (after we'd coem home from work) and his fur was all shiny and beautiful! in one day it just completely disappeared! Shock
he really had looked awful before - clumps of dandruffy fur hanging on, and flakes everywhere - he looked very grey-furred and just awful and then gone! just like that!

Glad the funeral was as good as it could be. Bambam

Josie - I meant to say a while ago, you seem so much happier at the moment. Your job seems to have calmed down and they're not asking the earth of you. And no snow makes it easier for you to care for horsey, of course. Really pleased you've bounced back. Obv the viroid love!! Although not so nice that you're feeling a bit poorly now. Def too soon for symptoms!

Can I have some of this Galaxy too? Just want the next few days to be over....so I know either way.

Got2Dance · 28/01/2011 10:57

(feel a bit left out that have no pets to tell amusing anecdotes about)

JosieSmith1 · 28/01/2011 11:04

Thanks Got2Dance, I really feel a lot perkier these days. It's definitely helped that the snow has gone and horsey isn't lame and can still be ridden as that was a huge worry. And yes work is a lot better. I'm trying not to take things personally and stick up for myself a bit more. Plus our new member of staff has really taken the pressure off and I'm back to my normal self - relishing a challenge Grin. Fingers crossed ERTD doesn't arrive for you

crowette · 28/01/2011 11:11

OH thought it'd be helpful to try to blow dry the cat once - note 'ONCE'!!!! Never have I seen that cat move so fast, and she refused to talk to him for days Grin Now she just gets rubbed to bits with the towel - think she quite likes it rough Wink

I've tried to give her tuna in oil, as I thought that'd help, but the stupid fussy cat doesn't like tuna! What else can I try??

JosieSmith1 · 28/01/2011 11:29

Crow scrambled egg? Works for my dog, not sure how it'd work for cats Hmm My dog loves a good rub with the towel too Grin. Thanks for the galaxy by the way!

crowette · 28/01/2011 12:04

Hmmmmmmm scrambled eggs, oooh I fancy that now! Grin

I'm tempted to nip across the road to Tesco and get some eggs - it's far too tempting having the store right opposite us, and it's a 24 hour one! Well, I suppose that'll come in handy for when I get pregnant and have all sorts of cravings in the middle of the night Wink

nickelbabysnatcher · 28/01/2011 12:32

it's quite funny, cos I have no idea what you'd give cats as a tonic!
You give chickens Cat Food when they're moulting or cold, but that's what you give cats normally.... Grin

We got our cat tins of sardines or pilchards, and they seemed to help her coat, but then she got fussy and wouldn't eat them! The other problem is that she has a dodgy tummy. We got her from the Cat Protection, who had rescued her after a boy tried to drown her as a kitten in a bucket of disinfectant. Angry We can only feed her the most expensive dry food, or she is sick! I would like to get my hands on that boy. Angry Angry

nickel - sorry you got "the gush". Hope your DH is up for more JSing though! Wink

Josie - glad you're feeling more chipper now. They say that being happy and relaxed can help with TTC, so here's hoping!

Got2Dance - fingers crossed for you mi'dearie.

porridge and cheese work for all the cats I know.

Got2Dance · 28/01/2011 13:18

I heard my baby niece's heart beat!! So cool!! And my sister is being induced oN Tues...yay!

crowette · 28/01/2011 13:27

Aha, the cat loves cheese! I shall have to give her more then! She's a proper 'victim' ... I was in the kitchen and she came in, sat down and looked at me, all 'puss in boots' style, with her front left paw raised Hmm she wouldn't/couldn't put it down, making a real fuss of trying, being a martyr, lol! I tried to look at it, but couldn't see anything other than a claw shedding. I sat her down on the sofa to look in more detail, and she was shaking like a leaf and just kept holding her paw up and 'pawing' the air. I was getting very worried, thinking of calling OH at work to see if we should get her to the vet (also dreading the cost!) ... eventually, with enough stroking and gentle words she calmed down and went to sleep. She's just woken up and is making no fuss whatsoever! Oh, I lie - she's zonked out again Grin

nickelbabysnatcher · 28/01/2011 13:48

bloody hell, Bam i can't believe people who would do that to an animal Angry

nickelbabysnatcher · 28/01/2011 13:50

ours can't eat dairy as it makes them sick.
everywhere. Angry

they will eat anything that's left over on our plates, though! (esp if meat, not on my plate, obv...) If we sit on the settee to eat (far too often these days Blush ), they wait for us to put our bowls o nthe floor, then pounce! Grin

Ok...so...plans for the weekend...

Roast chicken with a nice bottle of white wine tonight. My sisters baby shower tomorrow and a lazy sunday, maybe going to the cinema in the evening with girlfriends.

BamBam21 · 28/01/2011 14:19

Sorry G2D! I will shut up about my cat! Grin You must be so excited about your sister's baby. Auntie Dance! Grin

Curry and a few vodka and cokes for me. Lovely. Usually get bullied into going to my mum's on a Saturday, because my brother brings his kids over. Grr Angry. I mean, I love them, but every week is excessive!

deemented · 28/01/2011 14:22

Waiting for manshape to come home tonight so i can pounce on him and am cooking a special dinner, steak and the works. Followed by me ice cream.

Saturday am going to drag the kids around the local car boot sale and see if we can find some more tat bargains.

Sunday it's just me and littlies as Manshapes working away.

deemented · 28/01/2011 14:23

Ohhh... that didn't work... Blush

JosieSmith1 · 28/01/2011 14:23

My in-laws used to be constantly at my bro in-laws house, at least four nights a week until 11pm Shock There will be none of that when we have kids! Bearing in mind they have three kids under 6 so they'll be busy all night, and entertaining the in-laws, nightmare!

JosieSmith1 · 28/01/2011 14:24

PMSL dee Grin

Got2Dance · 28/01/2011 14:28

I can understand what you mean, Bam about seeing family every week. Can get a bit OTT. All things in moderation! Josie - you'll be able to set your own rules when it's your turn.

Love the idea of dee for dessert! May try that myself...

deemented · 28/01/2011 14:30

I'm not that way inclined, Got2Dance.... but if you ask me very very nicely...Wink Grin

Got2Dance · 28/01/2011 14:31

Ha ha ha!! I thought you'd be up for that??!!! Grin
