    JLC - I don't think you live too far from me, so if you ever want to chew the cud over a coffee just shout. Sorry you're going through it at the moment.

    As for all of you having a bit of a crap time at the moment - things can only get better. In the mean time, wine is your friend.

    BAD - spent yesterday afternoon in hospital and feel bloody awful today with no end in sight.

    GOOD - being treated to dinner at the Gaucho tonight but...

    BAD - can't drink, eat rich food or, seemingly, have much fun on the tablets I've been given.

    I dont really want to talk about it on here (sorry I hate saying that; sounds like complete attention seeking). Dog went out for a walk on Wednesday evening and was sniffing in some long grass. He jumped and started violently sneezing, and bleeding. We didnt know if he's been bitten or burst a blood vessel from all the sneezing. Took him to the vet yesterday who couldnt see anything so they need to sedate him to look up there. It's nothing serious but I'm still worried about him especially since I'm stuck at work so cant be with him. I know he's just a dog but I feel like crying. What a t@at I am!

    Thanks girls.?

    Yay for Spangler's job but boo for bad times at home Tricks.

    Good - it's my hen weekend ?

    Bad - it's pooooooouring down!

    Bad - I didn't take a half day to save on holidays but now I wish I had as the morning is dragging already!

    Baaaaaaaaaad - OH's brother's girlfriend has just had the news that her mother is terminally ill. Obviously horrendous for her, but also they probably won't come out to the wedding.

    Good - the money that was taken from our account by the fraudsters was less than I thought and most of it is back in the account already

    Bad - OH got told by his accountants this week that he needs to find an extra £7,500 of tax
