    You can have a bit of chicken as well if you want SG.  I'm sure the boys would share.  I know mine wvould.  I'd just pinch some, ;)

    We are on same wavelength today my two also had chicken, Mum picks one up for them with her shopping.  On one occasion when out for a meal she ordered a chicken to go i got nothing, least i know where i am in the pecking order....bottom.

    'Morning all.  well I didn't go to church I'd like to butthis a.m. woke up with anew complication from the bp meds.  Blood pressure was lower, heart rate very low and now I have a bood shot eye.  A listed side effect of this particular med.  Texted the doc, hope he returns it.  if the stroke don't kill me they'll finish me off with their pills.

    Loppy, Alan always used to say you go to the doctor with one thing and come out with another four !!!!!!

  3. Hello Eileen, i loved reading your post, i adopted a retired greyhound a few months ago as company for Silas. Silas is the laziest english bulldog it takes him all his time to move from chair to chair, my idea was that an energetic greyhound would encourage him to move a little more. How wrong can you be....the only thing of interest to them both is finding the best place to sleep and trying to avoid going out. Masie is the most loving little girl and i would recommend anyone wanting a companion to consider a greyhound.

  4. Loppy.  Masie is also very fast and would go very well with Bailey,  many times i have shut her in a room not realising she was in there. Tommorow the family who are renting my house are coming to see which of my furniture they would like me to leave, i had thought dark glasses may hide my black eyes but my friend said you either have a dirty mark on your face or you are starting to bruise. So before any one looks embarressed i will say "the dog did it" that should be a conversation starter.

  5. Lizzie, Loppy and Jill thank you for you good wishes, am taking pain killers so they are helping. Its good that neither dog bothers about going out my neighbours grandson is going to take them out for their walk after school. I don't mind the cast its the black eyes that make me look as if i have been in a fight, i collided with the hall table as i fell.

     

    Thank you Nonna, got a text from my son saying if you'r to mean to put lights on buy a torch.........such a caring child.

  6. My day has been a bit of a disaster so i will offer this bit of advice...........if you have a black dog and dark carpets in the passage always put the light on !!!!!!.  After 5 hours in A&E and a plaster cast on my wrist my house will now resemble Blackpool illuminations, the dog is fine.

    I have just been diagnosed with a slightly (?) overactive thyroid, Thought I was just having panic/anxiety attacks with racing heart etc. 

    SG i was diagnosed in exactly the same way as yourself having the same symptons, also googled it.........i followed advice on what/what not to eat took the tablets which have decreased in strength over time.  Diagnosed in February at my last appointment 2weeks  ago was told my thyroid had returned to normal and to return in 6 monthes for tests to check my levels. I hope you soon start to feel better and more like your normal self.

  8. Not normally up at stupid o'clock but Masie has woken me up she was looking out of the window and making whimpering sounds. Looked out of the window and could see lights dotted around the park (UFO activity) unfortunately no, just security staff making sure nobody removes any of the fireworks for tonights display. Silas has never been affected by the noise and i am hoping that Masie will be the same, during her time racing she will have been subjected to a lot of noise so hopefully it will be a good night for both.

    As a newish member (joined October 14) I must say I enjoy this site. One thing I find (and perhaps it is just me) is that when I browse a subject and read the conversation you all obviously know each other very well and I do feel like I would be butting in if I joined in conversation. Don’t take this as a critism, it isn’t, when I have joined in I have been welcomed, even got some likes, perhaps it is just a case of gaining confidence on the site?

    I have said this before to new members its worth sticking with us. I am not Nottingham born and bred my only claim was to marry a man from Basford, i have always felt welcome even been laughed at a few times but Nostalgians are a lovely bunch.

  10. As i have said before he took time to go through the stages of teaching me how to cure Ben of hs fear of loud noises.  Not only did his help make Ben a good guide dog but i passed his information on in a news letter and i received comments thanking me.  A good man who will be sadly missed.

    Don't you believe it! ask an estate agent and I'm sure if the area is reasonable they will tell it's not a problem. I have one built 1901and had no trouble finding tenants. Don't make assumptions, check before making a decision. If you think someone will buy then someone will rent it.

    The houses where i live are very much sought after as they face Saltwell Park, we often get letters from local estate agents asking if we are considering selling. We will sell eventually but not until Mum and Auntie are no longer with us, its been our family home since 1909.
