Pesha, sorry to hear about your dog, and about your continuing money worries. Congratulations over the job.
oooggs, sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she can get an alternative form of help than ad's if that's what she feels she needs.
dp was fairly good when he came home, took D for a walk to our favourite newsagents to collect a magazine we have on order there still so as to give me a little break, then we had a bit of a dance with D (it sometimes works to cheer him up when he's fed up with other things to put on a couple of tunes and bounce him around to the music). He continues to grizzle a bit but is sleeping at this moment.
I found an old friend on Facebook tonight and we've exchanged messages, so that was a bright spot in a trying day. Tomorrow we have a coffee morning and baby group so hopefully it will cheer up D and myself to get out.
