Hubby had his brain surgery, and everything went o.k :)

I just got married :)

Now that my husband's been made redundant we can spend more time together. :)

Now that my husband's been made redundant we can spend more time together

Thats a joke right?

No, why? He's my best friend, and I like to spend time with him. :)

Congratulations on another quiz win JG by, the way.  Another reason for you to be cheerful :p  Have you sent off your spotty picture to the quiz mistress yet?

It wears off after a while believe me, hubby worked away for years i cried my head off he came home i cried my head off lol

He's been my best friend for 30 years - I don't think it's going to change now! ;) :D

I think they call it seeing the bright side of things :)  I'm grateful my husband has a job he enjoys and appears to be secure but the one down side is he works a lot more hours that me.  The bright side of that is lots of time for Champdogs :D

My life in general :)  I think I've been very fortunate or made good choices, which ever way you want to look at it :p

Because I have a wonderful husband and a super duper dog :D :D

Because I have just come through 8 hours of major surgery and I am beginning to feel better than I have done for a while......

Because I have 9 healthy children and no money but loads and loads of love

Because my husband has the patience of a saint and adores me (so he says)

I have a wonderful hubby, an amazing daughter, a beautiful home, emotional and financial security - basically a very privileged life and I get to share it with a breed that I'm passionate about. 

All in all a pretty darn good life and, please God, continued good health to us all.   When I take time to count my blessings I find that I have far more of them than worries  :)

I have the world's best husband, fairly healthy animals (by that I mean nothing major going on, you can't have them ALL 100 % ALL the time with my numbers and several oldies), healthy great kids, reasonable health myself, a computer, books to read -but most importantly I no longer have an abusive husband and a life so awful I don't want to live it and for that I thank God every single day. What problems there are such as the horrible neighbours really don't count for anything at all in the great scheme of things as I have a new life so incredibly fantastic compared to what it was just a few years ago. :D :D :D

I could go on about things I'm grateful for as there are many but I'd bore eveyrone. :) One thing though I'd like to mention:

for several years I have desperatey tried to save one of my breeding lines of Persian cats that I nearly lost due to a genetic condition. I almost gave up. 2 weeks ago one queen gave birth to 3 kittens (both parents CLEAR of the problem) which we believe were premature, and all were dead and I was so upset. Then we realised she had one kitten left inside her, the vet did a c-section, got him out, said he stood virtually NO chance of survival as he was so small and weak, but I fought for him, my little Prince -and now he's learning to walk, has his eyes open, gaining weight steadily and is going to be fine and it's like having had all your Christmases at once. :D :D

That' really nice Teri :-)

SO right.

Actually I am quite happy at the moment for once!!

I have finished school, and although I have done badly I am so relieved that it is out of the way. I have just recieved my provisional driving license so I can start learning to drive, and I am applying for my first job
And the best thing of all... after 4 years of research and waiting, I have the dog of my dreams! :D He really is everything I could ever ask for and much more. I have started a training class which I really enjoy and there are so many things I want to do with him in the future. It's so exciting! :D

being placed in the minor/puppy stakes at both east of england and leeds! finnishing harry potter and the half blood prince for the 2nd time, oh and actually passing college after almost walking out and lacking behind so much
at the moment thats about it

I'm in Zante and the sun is shining and still got another week to go!  (I know I shouldn't be on here but couldn't resist a quick peak!) Beautiful island for those who have never been!

My daughter getting her degree after nearly having to give it up due to major health problems. I am so proud of her for persevering.

Having a wonderful supportive family & friends (and still having the same OH after 43 years AND not having killed him :D ....yet !)

Having 4 great healthy kids

A house buy going through very smoothly, so there's a nice big garden for my dogs in the near future :D and no brother living with me anymore!

Look at the news - just fortunate to live here not Iraq, Afghanistan, Israel, Lebanon ..................

> are we going to know the sex then tomorrow

I totally misread this, as I have one eye on 'Three Men in a Boat' and thought that the 'know the' read 'have' ...................... I was just a tad surprised as you have a bad back ................. :D :D :D

Daisy

I quickly glanced and saw that too!! :) I must not skim read I must not skim read!!

Blimey I read it a few times and saw 'have' instead of 'know the' :P :P

must be the way our minds work ;)

I'm happy because now since, i had a miscarrage at the end of jan, my partner spent a month in hospital and was so mentally ill he had to be sectioned, he suffered from bad delutions thought the goverment where after him and other scary stuff, just as i found out i was pregnant again which was even a shock to the nurse! Hes now stable on medication and has found a job he enjoys, i'm now 6months pregnant have a lovely 3yr old son, one on the way and ofcourse 2 lovely cavaliers even though the younger one still thinks its ok to pee in the kitchen, and its always me that treads in it :rolleyes:
