Has anyone ever thought of closing this thread and not giving her any atttention whatsoever. She really doesn't deserve it.
She'll still get attention via the actual paper and its online version, so that renders your post just a tad redundant.

Just logged in for the first time since last weekend and seen this. So sorry to hear the news. They leave such holes in our lives, don't they.

I'll reply this evening to the pm's I've had. It's been a fraught and tense week (with a family death just topping it off yesterday). We've reluctantly come to the conclusion that we've tried our best with Chloe but we have to let her go. Her behaviour changes by the hour but the general trend is downwards and she's clearly not happy. Whether it's having another cat around that's upseting her or if she just doesn't like me or Max we'll never know but we have to give her the chance of finding her happy forever home. (It doesn't help that the rescue society were less than honest about several aspects of her past until we challenged them this week)
Cheers for the condolences
Sorry to hear your news. Sounds like you've had a lot on your plate recently, life throws so much at you sometimes.
There's always the possibility that puss will settle like you say as a solitary cat, really hope that will be the case for her.

You did your best and that's all anyone can do

Liz Jones thrives on controversy, and as a contributor to this thread i don't mind admitting that having something to moan about provides a little bit of relief to the rest of life's sh*ttiness. So shall carry on posting here without any doubt at all.

Quite right. Wish more of those who posted comments under her utter bilge of 'Drearies' and 'Farticles' knew about us here at DS. Wonder what tomorrow's pathetic witterings will involve?

We've done the dead animal, I expect we are due for some more profligate spending followed by why-oh-why is that nasty HMRC making me sell my house. Unless she is going to try and resuscitate her "relationship" with David again, or who knows maybe the "movie" will make a reappearance.

Or "I work 100 hours a week, I never sleep, I never eat, never taken a holiday" .. blah de blah. We could probably write it ourselves TBH.

Buried dog, Nic is ill, too poor to eat so goes to the spa, works 27 hours a day, HMRC are mean, it wouldn't happen to a man.
It's very bad this week.

Oh yes, thanks for reminder, Jemima_Tab, forgotten the 'movie' script she handed to some 'famous film star'. Funny that - all gone quiet. Maybe Jones's script is a new version of Sex and the City' Series ... whatever? Series twenty-five? Series five hundred? I did (hangs head in shame) watch the real series way back when ... . prefer 'Breaking Bad'. I put the Sex and the City COMPLETE DVDs BOX SET on Freecycle a year or two ago - but no takers. Dumped it in local charity shop.

Still, as I'm doped up and sleepess at the moment (dodgy hip awaiting replacement), I'll probably be around post midnight and able to appreciate Jones's latest bilge-fest. Will even try posting some trenchant comments in MoS .... (not hopeful).

A week ago after reading about the death of Hilda I posted about how I'd previously lost a little rescue dog which Hilda reminded me of......

6 days later the whole thing has just happened again, my partner rang me while out with our dogs to say the oldest had collapsed. We got him to the vets and it was his time to say good bye. Really sad day. And so strange how it happened with in a week of writing about a different dog, same circumstances. Oh dear. Saddest part of having animals
Sorry for your loss, Ade. It is never easy to lose a pet.

I'm certain that if her movie script exists at all it will be a very poor rip-off of SATC, possibly with a few chunks nicked from The Devil Wears Prada, with lots and lots of La Jones' famous "sense of humour". I can only imagine what a train wreck it is.

It's been a tough day

He was my partners dog in the beginning, but for the last 10 years he's been my baby too. We knew it was coming. He was in his favourite place when it al got too much for him, and we got him to vet pronto. And he's out of pain now, so that's the important thing. Hardest part is seeing the person you love so crushed you know.
This is the inevitable part of loving animals, it's awful

So sorry, Ade_Lw. It's just heartbreaking losing a beloved animal. Year ago since my cat went. I still cry about her.

I texted my debt specialist. ‘Would a man whose business went bust work 21-hour days, unable to eat for two weeks?

Yes. In most cases.

On the night Hilda died, I got a text from Nic at 2am. ‘Don’t panic, but I’m coughing up blood. I have gone to A&E.’
They kept her in. So I had to do the horses.


Oh my God the inconvenience. You just can't get decent slaves any more. Poor Liz, Couldn't Nic have become ill at some other time, like when she's on holiday? The rudeness of it all.

But seriously: dog starts bleeding at the mouth and Liz is screaming, driving the "borrowed" car to the vet's and shouting "I will destroy you!" at staff unable to bring medical assistance in a second. Devoted human companion starts coughing up blood and she's all "oh boo now I have to do the horses and bury my dead dog, sigh." Says a lot.

Although I suppose a man would be marginally less likely to spend his food money on Diptyque candles.

No comments at all have gone through on either the dreary or farticle this week. The Fail moderators must be out in force!

Bed early after a day's gardening so came to the Dreary this morning. My goodness! I do hope poor Hilda is deep enough down so the foxes don't bring her up again. That vet charge (for out of hours treatment) is reasonable but I would question why the vet didn't say to put the dog down as there was no treatment that would help?

So sorry about everyone's health, family and animal problems. It seems to be one of those years when we bounce from sad event to sad event. Fizzycat, you have done the right thing and, whatever happens to the cat, I hope the Rescue involved start telling people the truth about their animals.

As for Liz, since when does someone just falling over the edge into bankruptcy (although she only just seems to have found that out) book herself into a 5 star Cotswold hotel for 2 nights, plus a spa treatment? Wouldn't leaving the dogs at home and staying in an Oxford town B&B have been considerably cheaper? Also, now she has discovered her Debt Advisor, wouldn't he point out to her that she is earning a very good wage for the rubbish she writes twice on Sundays, so she's not really bankrupt with no income?

Baffled!!

What I hate is the ease with with people talk about going bankrupt these days. There was once great, great shame in not being able to pay your debts. While I wouldn't want to return to times of people committing suicide because of this, to see people being all "bankrupt is the easy option wheeee!" makes me wonder what the hell has happened to having any sort of morals and responsibility at all.

Well Liz is acting as is she has only just discovered the word, despite her previous history of money problems and court action.
I don't know how it operates, but surely offering people a percentage of what she owes can only be done if she has less money available in assets than she owes, ie is bankrupt? A while back she was reputed to have a half a mill salary. She has lost half her work so presumably still earns in the region of a quarter of a mill. How in the name of heaven can that income allow her to cheat people by not paying back what she owes them? If this is how bankruptcy operates, I vote we all join her!

Interesting isn't it that we find out today there's a debt manager type person in the background. So, the littLe bit I know about debt is that you get yourself into either a voluntary agreement, or a straight forward debt repayment plan or you go bankrupt.As she's been in this position how man times now, she will know all of this.

The debt repayment (depending on how much she owes and her income) can
take a lot of years, even a decade living on just the basics, while the voluntary agreement and bankruptcy (as far as I can see) are shorter term things where it's difficult to get any credit, loans, cards until the process is over. It does seem the shorter option. So, it looks like she wants to get the whole thing over ASAP with bankruptcy.

Who ever said up thread there's not the same stigma attached these days is quite right. It's happening more often than folk realise.

Poor Nic ! Not much sympathy was there Hope she's feeling better soon.

I know employment is hard to come by these days but why on earth does Nic stick around? Like everything in LJ's life it makes no sense that someone would continue to remain with seemingly an abusive employer.

No shame in that - the series was great! It's just that most of us let it go when it finished (2004) and aren't still trying to live Carrie's life 12 years later. (I haven't seen the films, I was over it by the time they came out).

I expect she was hoping to pass it off as Expenses and charge it to the paper. No chance of that now though, if the job was cancelled anyway.

She talks about seeing to her own horses as being some massive inconvenience to her. Which begs the question, why have horses (or any animals), if you dont want the hassle of actually caring for them.
