It's 2:30am and i'm still awake looking after my elderly dog with dementia + arthritis. His sleeping is all out of whack and he paces a lot, both symptoms of doggy dementia. The pacing is especially a problem for him because he can't walk much due to arthritis so he tries to pace but often can't even stand up to walk about, so while he's awake i'm regularly having to help him get up and walk. I've considered euthanasia for him but he's still eating and drinking and recognising family members so i'm not doing it yet. He's been a great dog, a great companion, for these last nearly 19 years and i'm repaying him for that by looking after him now.

You will know exactly when its time , with my Bill cbd really helped his arthritis but he was on turmeric and all the other usual remedy's, in the end when he could only walk a few meters we converted a kids cycle trailer in to a dog pram as he was a big lad, he used to love trips down to the beach and we would chill all day
edit the vet tried metacam but that had a very bad effect on him so apart from painkillers we had to go natural, he went to 16 but his breed normally goes to 12

So sorry to hear this. It's so hard. And is the sad side of having a dog. 19 years is a great age, you've obviously looked after him well.

Gave my boy a hug reading this.
 
This was my boy after been pushed in his chariot as we called it to Polly Joke beach I knew we didn't have long left together but I had him for a full day /btw it's not a sad post, the memory's are here forever edit/ lost him in 2o19

Surprised you clicked it. I was outraged to process some expenses the other day and see a 20% service charge on every pint I asked for. Mental

I generally wanted to support the venue. Plus the otherwise cute girl is about to be subjected to some very niche music.
 
Is there a way to make a curry that doesn't involve lengthy times punishing the porcelain ?
So the curry is next level but wow , is a tablespoon of hot chilli powder too much. Fry the spices longer, I already do
This is an instant and moment from the bathroom
 
I don't travel on the train enough to know the in-and-outs of optimising for journeys, but do ticket prices generally fall closer to the date (weeks as opposed to months) in advance? if so, when should I be looking?

I have a trip from Nottingham to Bristol next March, and they're pretty much £100 at the moment...I was expecting somewhere in the region of £40-50?

There are a small percentage of tickets that are sold at big discount, and then another at smaller and then the rest.

So generally the closer the date to travel, the more it cost.

Other things that can affect it are the time, so rush hour, aka Peak time, is more expensive than “off peak”. Also a ticket that allows you to get on any train will cost more since you can get on peak time too.

The general rule is the sooner you book, the better. There are other tricks like breaking up the journey using Split My Ticket but that’s also another kettle of fish.

As Raymond says, generally prices go up as cheaper tickets sell out. But have a look at tickets in, say, 3 weeks time. Under a month. See if they ever get lower.

This instant and moment I've just had a pay rise and it's backdated to April. That's on top of my annual role increase as experience increases.
Need it to pay off the nearly new motorbike I've bought and the holiday around New Zealand and Australia we've just been on.... :D :D

Still got to move to mid Wales this year hopefully and sort the house out....

Not doing anything next year except pay off this year... :D :D
