It was a very very strange day.
Well, I've stuck to my diet for at least one day - no snacking!
I do hope CBB is better than last year's. I am at a loss as to why Ruby Wax is going in, we will see.
Anyway, off to scout around the threads before another day of decluttering, laundry and ironing.. .
Speak to you all later.”
morning all.....
my diet is starting properly today....
to change the topic of conversation......
we had a dog crisis...ish yesterday...its funny in its absurdity...but not funny to try and sort out amicably....!!!
my parents now want a dog again.I think my dad wants something to distract him...
.and volunteered to adopt our dalmation....which does officially belong to my older daughter who left him here nearly 3 years ago...before going to uni,
that ownership extends to making a fuss of him on the rare occasions she stays here....but apart from that I do everything.....from feeding, insuring and walking him.....
When I suggested to my daughter that her grandparents had volunteered to adopt her beloved dog.....she had a major meltdown on the phone.....
and was adamant that he was her dog and couldnt be given away....
We have kind of reached a compromise...he can be loaned out to grandparents during the week...but if and when she is at home , the dog has to be here for her.....
I am kind of torn....and speechless at my darlings daughters concept of pet ownership.....
dump a dog on your parents, and assume they have no problems looking after him....and then make a huge fuss when someone who does love dogs offers him a home where he will be spoilt rotten......
and even though said daughter is due to finish uni this summer...her idea is to work for a few months and go travelling.....so where is said dog meant to live.....????
something about having her cake and eating it ...springs to mind....!!!
