Hi lovely ladies xx
Sorry for my miserable post yesterday...you didn't deserve to be on the receiving end of my moaning!
I'm blown away by all your lovely comments and wonderful words of wisdom. What a kind lot you are xx. Everything you have said makes a lot of sense to me, and I'm going to try a combination of your suggestions...

And thank you too for the advice about hernias and little Suki
. I had an email from the breeder offering me her vets phone number so she could reassure me further about her condition. She also offered to pay half of any expenses if a problem should arise before Suki can have her surgery, as she won't be covered by the insurance. And having read up a bit more on hernias, and also reading of your experiences, I'm a lot more reassured and happy about it all.
I haven't spoken to my Auntie Sue about Dave today. I thought it best to let her get him settled back home again without too much interruption.
Now I shall tell you about my day. We had a lay in, with the customary cup of tea. After a bit of tidying up etc. Gwyn said he thought we should go and look at some kitchen work tops and sinks, so I assumed we'd be going down to the local B&Q store which is only 10 mins away. But no, Gwyn said he wanted to go to Wicks which is further away, so although I thought it was a bit odd I went with him. We saw some very nice work surfaces and came away with lots of literature. Then as we were going back to the car, he suggested we go next door to Hobbycraft as I'm looking for some silk flowers to replace the real ones that were on Dads funeral football wreath. So we had a look round but couldn't find anything suitable. Then he suggested we pop into Matalans as they sometimes have silk flowers in there, so in we went. Well, no sooner had we got in he said "I'll look for the flowers...you have a quick look at the clothes" and he was off! Now Gwyn knows I hate clothes shopping, as it's always such a traumatic experience when either there's nothing big enough for me, or it just looks horrendous. So I avoid it, and haven't been for ages, preferring to just carry on with my old stuff. But I showed willing and began to look at the rails as they had a sale on and there was actually quite a lot of nice stuff there. Then Gwyn came back over with a couple of tops he thought I'd like, and I tried them on for size...they fitted
And they looked nice!]
And they were 12's
I mean I know Matalan are very generous with ther sizes but it said 12 on the label so that's good enough for me lol! :8855: So I tried a few more things, and eventually came away with loads of tops, a skirt and a dress. I have to confess I think I got a bit carried away, & I'm a bit worried as the dress is above the knee & I haven't worn a dress that short since I was 19 :faint2: Not sure I've actually got the courage to wear it out yet though, but it does look lovely hanging in my wardrobe lol!
So it turns out that it was always naughty hubbys intentions to get me into Matalans today to try and give me a boost, a reminder that I have come a long way, and that it's not the end of the world to have a bad couple of weeks. He's a crafty sod! But it worked!!! And I love him to bits!!!
Anyway, I have gone on far too long
Time post my food & head up to bed...but I'll probably be on my phone for a bit. Apologies for not being around on your diaries yesterday girls...I was so fed up with having such an all round sh*t day I couldn't trust myself to write sensibly :ashamed0005:
