Oh dear Sharon, hope you feel better soon.

Do you use Freecycle at all? You can get people to come and collect things you dont want any more and take them away.

So sorry!

I think your dog looks cute Gina. Ive got an elderly shitzu called May. Only problem at the moment is that she is blind, deaf and confused. ( Dont laugh I know it is a bit much) Also become incontinent lately. Some people think I should put her to sleep but her tail is still up alot of the time and she is still eating but its getting harder and harder. Oh dear ....

Get the shifty looking bloke in the donkey jacket to move your stuff next time! There's always one, picking his nose, looking like he's doing nowt. Took a telly to the tip last week; could have removed the insides & got it converted to a bungalow it was that big. The lad with the fluorescent donkey jacket took it out, legs buckling. Serious message: don't try to do too much, it sometimes hurts!
