It must be awful for you, are you bored, do you need to try and fill your day with more activities. I dont necessarily have an eating problem, but I used to pour myself cheeky drinks at lunchtime and end up half tanked when DH came home. This was a habit that I had to break and I knew it was so wrong. A little of something nice is good for us. Hope you get it all sorted.

Back in the UK we tend to know when the sales start, so I tended to hold back till then. Never heard of a shop giving you money back just because the sales started and you missed out by puchasing at the higher price.

So If you need to vacate midway thru your contract and not have to pay penalties, what should the contract wording say, we are about to renew and we want a 3 month get out clause to vacate.

Just an idea contact Xerox you can lease printers, you will get so many free then pay for each click. It will work out a whole lot cheaper than having your printing stuff done with another company.

I had mine done when I was 12. I had to beg my mum to let me have them done. Both my girls had their ears pierced when they were around 7 / 8, they asked me. My GD was around 18 months old. Yet my mums friends always said if we were suppose to have holes in our ears then we would have been born with them!!!! We are all different, I dont think there is a wrong and right here.

SueB you do wonders for FF like may others, we all work extremely hard and under lots of stress ( I know some would think what stress ) but I assure you we do, we work and push boundries to help these poor little souls without this help of the Fosterer's, all the volunteers, trappers, vets, people in the community, the list can go on, our work could not continue. Yes we rely on donations, this helps so many kitties, Ive heard some awful stories, enough to bring tears to your eyes. FF have strict guidelines and we adhere to them, we do use our own experiences to guide new Adoptee's or fosterer's, If I was ever in doubt I make that call, as I know Im not expert and never said I was, but I live an experience every day. I have a friend that focus's on the labourer's, I focus on FF and all the Felines that need help.

I can see both sides of the coin here. I help out at FF when needed, and so see the hard work that goes on behind the seens. As I am the end user at FF at the moment doing the adoptions, one of the adopting criteria on the forms are is anyone allergic. So many cats have come back to us due to this problem. We then have no space left as we fill all empty spaces within hours. It was very kind of my friends to offer temp holiday help, and I really appreciate them coming forward to assist.

Ive just booked my aunt from BHX to Dubai, Emirates 578.00 pounds, indirect 368 via Amsterdam. I choose EK as she would prob get lost. I so remember only paying 290 pounds in November 08, now the prices range from 468 to over 600 from BHX. Shocking prices. Surely the overheads havent gone up this much. Each time I now book I take a deep breath!!!!!

Assuming you fly from SA ( dont know if passports are stamped leaving) and you land in DXB, and was asked to show your ticket, wouldnt they ask why you used a SA passport of leaving SA and use your UK passport on entry here!!!!! I suppose dual passport holders will know the answer.
