Thought I'd make a new thread, I'll post on the old one and alert to its presence.

All are welcome, we are friendly folk.

That sounds perfectly lovely and frugal wolf, sounds like the Jamie Oliver 7 veg sauce to me. Enjoy the wine.

I think I’d be relieved at the exchange student going too north, less pressure.

cag, you’re a proper fucking awesome mum and a credit to yourself and the kids to you. Enough said. You just get on with it, that’s fabulous in my view.

So, I’ve booked the hotel for London and have had to pay marathon prices. Negated thankfully by the number of Holiday Inn loyalty points DH has accumulated taking it to more like Premier Inn costs.

Two good things

One of the girls from the running club has offered to have my dogs for the marathon weekend, she has 4 rescue spaniels already and won’t hear a word of not having them. Says it’s because I’ve done nothing but encourage her since she joined, I’m not entirely sure that’s true, but I’m not going to turn a kind offer down.

DD has another offer, Sheffield with very attainable grades (hopefully).

Lamb and veggie tagine for dinner with giant couscous. Instant pot in use again.

❤️❤️❤️ I will dog sit anytime you like

Wolfcub · 11/10/2018 20:43

I come from a springer rescuing family with links to a particular rescue charity. I am after one but haven’t quite worked out a solution to my long day away each week (my df would totally dog sit, dm currently a bit of a blocker)

lonely completion through court tomorrow. We don’t do the exchange completion thing here.

cag you’re awesome. Don’t feel guilty. You. Are. Awesome. #virtualfistbump

Beaut doggos.

Wolfcub · 11/10/2018 20:54

Aw Wreck she’s an absolute beauty. That’s what my df’s dog does to me, I love it. I think Jam’s Little Black springer has stolen my heart.

Cag you are absolutely bloody amazing you do a phenomenal amount for your children and others and I am in awe of you

Em so excited for you for tomorrow

Justanothermile · 11/10/2018 20:56

The are my additional children in essence wolf, just don't tell the human ones. .. I'm on some spaniel rescue Facebook sites, folks in rescue deserve medals. But the stories really upset me too.

Justanothermile · 11/10/2018 21:00

Noticed we were getting towards the end. So took the liberty of starting a fresh clean thread.

Music magpie money is in. Hoorah. Transferred it to my other account so I can forget about it.

AdoraBell · 11/10/2018 21:05

Cagliostro · 11/10/2018 21:09

Posted too soon. Was meant to say, and you have gorgeous pooches

WreckTangled · 11/10/2018 21:09

Jam I had to sleep in a kennel ShockWink she's very spoilt but so sweet

Cagliostro · 11/10/2018 21:10

And yes where is quite?

Fluffycloudland77 · 11/10/2018 21:11

Houdini looks a bit tired there. Stressful being a dog.

Jam Your dogs look fit!. Not an ounce on them.

My cat looks like a teddy bear with too much stuffing in him.

ememem84 · 11/10/2018 21:17

Last.

ememem84 · 11/10/2018 21:17
