    I am trying to decide whether to go for a shower or have another coffee...

    @Beaver79 yeah we were told plain dry chicken is a good thing for them if they have an upset stomach.

    Seems like a good life @66Mustang!

    My partner's sister has a similar arrangement but without the villa. She and her husband run campsites and live full time in a caravan. They're over here during the spring and summer season working on the sites, then they drive over to Spain for the winter to get out of the cold. Not sure I could do it, but it works for them! 

    Hope your dog feels better and you're able to get some rest @Beaver79

    Sounds like a good arrangement if you can cope with living in a van, I think lots of people do that now, I believe there is even a "sub culture" called Van Life. 

    The guy we knew was a right miser, he bought the villa for around £20,000 in a right state and did it up. He would drive his 20 year old car from the UK over to the villa in October and back again in March. :D So not a jet setter lifestyle but still rather nice.

    I guess look after the pennies and the pounds add up or whatever the saying is has some truth. :)

    Morning everyone!  I hope your dog feels better soon @Beaver79. Plain chicken shredded into some boiled rice is our usual go to for poorly dogs.

    Morning all I hope yous are all well on this bright but a cold morning.

    @Beaver79
    I hope your dog just had an upset tummy and will be fine now 🤞🏾

    @66Mustang
    Hi I hope you’re good, oh that’s my dream to be able to live abroad in the winter months, as my arthritis pain is always better when I’m on holiday.
     But it’s only a dream 😂

    @Lou67 if it helps your health you should be prescribed 6 months a year abroad on the NHS. What could possibly go wrong with my plan?? :smiley:

    @Beaver79 I am not trying to diagnose it just wondering did the sick smell like poo? Because, our dog had that problem recently and had to go to the vet. He was put on dry chicken for 7 days and no treats.

    Good luck @Beaver79

    We also had to keep ours on the lead (he is usually allowed off) so that he didn't go snaffling round in the bushes eating stuff.

    Oh now wouldn’t that be great I might take that suggestion to my GP 😂

    @Beaver79
    Oh I hope a trip to the vet isn’t needed.

    I used to give our last dog chicken and rice when she had an upset stomach.

    @lou67 I know how you mean about it being better in a hot climate though. My Mum has arthritis in the knee, waiting for replacement, she used to go to Africa once a year and she said her knee was fine over there but in the UK it's horrible.

    OK I just decided whether to have coffee or go for shower, I am going to have a shower :D could have had another coffee in the time I was deciding :D 

    Thanks for all the chats, they have helped my anxiety as it is a bit high today.

    Oh Africa would’ve been an amazing place to visit and yes the heat would’ve definitely helped your mums knees.
    Im glad the chat this morning has helped ease your anxiety. 😊

    Just back from my quick (for me) shower as in quite a bit of pain still.

    @Lou67 yes - they took videos and photos and it looks like an amazing place. Very poor though which is sad.

    Morning everyone, rang the vets apparantly he is chipped, but they can't get hold of the owner, I said he must be lost then the state he was in. They won't do treatments only basic because of funds

    @Sandy_123
    Hi Sandy if they can’t get a hold off the owner do you think they will let you take him. 
    I really hope they do allow you to have him.

    @66Mustang
    Oh yes I can imagine how poor a lot off it must be.
