    I don't like being in the dark, I will literally have a meltdown if you put me in a dark room.

    I'm sorry, I wish pets lived longer its devastating when we lose them. My cat died 2 years ago, she was 18 and had her since I was 14. Its hard to fill that gap again. My heart goes out for you.

    We have a workshop. Ours were the busiest.. two people. Had to deal with a lot of people. Two people. When the rest of the facilitators have to deal with almost none. Problem is they got paid. We work for free. .I really feel used. Like cheap labour only we do not get pay . Not a penny.

    Chris meet my old dog Ozzy The Prince Of Barkless - Staffy X Whippet - Runs like a Whippet and Pulls like a Staffy. He weighed 30KG, fair to say I miss the big daft lump, rescued him from poor circumstances with my ex in 2018, never barked, small yaps when he was asleep, was a very gentle soul, he is nearly 11 in Jan.

    Sadly for him he lives with my ex wife! Not seen the lad in over two years.

    When I get a dog for myself I’m considering a King Charles Spaniel and gonna train it up to be my Assistance Dog or Therapy Dog so I can take it in the shopping centre, cinema, cafes and medical appointments. Some charities that offer trained Assistance Dogs want over 20k for a Golden Retriever or Lab which would be to big a dog for me in my flat.

    I simply do not want to get angry not stressed. But only after a long two hours they said .. you did great.... Some other facilitators who did not get paid. They stopped coming... I am not sure really. Even dogs get a treat..

    Well that’s them ready to go back outside to be potted up! Proper Isle of Arran Oak Whisky Barrels.

    Been running round like there is no tomorrow with parcels coming to the front door. Just hoping the drain un blocker is gonna work as I’ve been noticing a foul odour when I’ve been opening the bathroom door, despite an air freshener being present. I’ve shoved some down the kitchen sink and bathroom sink. Then put some in and around the silly shower drain. It’s one of those idiotic pump driven drains!

    So sorry to hear that Catherine, I feel your pain. Although my Dig is still alive, I’ve not seen him since my ex dumped me in 2023 just over two years ago.

    I want a dog that’s not gonna bark a lot with me living above an elderly neighbour and with cats and squirells around the area I live. Dog would be able to go on a long line or lead on the grass at the back and down on a field near where I live or I’d find a secure dog field.

    I have a bichon frise @Zippy1983 and he pretty much ticks all the boxes you mentioned! He's such a friendly companion with a big personality so I would definitely recommend potentially looking into that breed

    Thank You all for your kind words, I’ve never thought about a Bichon 🤔 will have to look into that for sure. One breed I’ve contemplated as well is a Corgi, there is something special about them, I also have a memory from childhood that my late Grandma and Grandad used to have one.

    I’m just glad the old drain cleaner has sorted out the all the drains, especially the foul smelling shower drain.

    I’ve just cleaned the kitchen and sorted out the recycling to sling it out tomorrow morning. Before I turn my stairs into a bob sled run with the barrels on cardboard with me on my stair lift. Somehow managed to stretch 500ml of clear varnish to two barrels, will spray them with a good dose of spray lacquer tomorrow. Done a fair bit today, I’m still 50/50 about going watching a film on Friday. It’s times like this that the silence in the flat bites its hardest.

    I’ve just sent an email to an advocacy place in Derby and just reading through and editing what I had sent to another out of town advocacy place, has really dropped my mood through the floor big time. Just honestly feel shocking, going to take myself off to bed soon and sit up watching something on the iPad.

    I’m just gonna say goodnight to everyone and will see you over the coming days.

    My computer is saying its 10 degrees outside at the moment, I don't know how true that is as its freezing in my room.

    Thinking of you Catherine. It's hard, especially at this time of year. I had Natalie-Tiffany in hospital on Sunday night/breathing difficulties (I'll DM you separately on that 🫠😊). But at least Snicket's recovered. Both bradycephalic breeds but not had breathing issues before which is scary, especially for her. I hope you're ok xx
