Evening all!

Hi JVH - glad the sun was shining today while your son is in Melb (perhaps he brought it with him so please do thank him!) - my ma's new dog is extremely timid - think she had a hard time with her previous owner - (she's almost 6mths) - so hopefully time for her to come around. She is very friendly with mum but doesn't like (is afraid) being lifted for a cuddle. Any suggestions would be great!

Hi beani yay we saw the sunshine today! Not going to the cup either - going to a winery instead with some friends.

Hi dame - yes I ponder too about life. I notice I ponder more when things are harder. So glad things are better for you and your family now and Ash is settling.

Hi kezza your diet sounds spot on for losing weight - tho I love cruskits and tuna and cottage cheese lol! Big countdown for your birthday - hope you have fun things lined up!

Big waves and ((hugs)) - got a couple of phone calls to make before I can relax for the evening! Hope your horse wins tomorrow!!!

Hi Miss and looks like reasonable weather down there today as well........rain forecast but not till a whole lot later in the day:)

Your mum could try keep a little container of treats beside her and when she picks the puppy up to reward with a tiny treat........you can get little liver treats and or dog chocs. The liver treats can be a tad rich so have to go lightly on them. But if the little one associates cuddles with treats hopefully she may lose some of that timidity. Its so hard neigh on impossible to be able to turn them around completely when they have come from a difficult home situation. I do hope she comes around and that your Mum can have lots of laughs and cuddles with her:)

Morning all. Lovely day here. Out and about. Can not be bothered with the cup.

Have a great day everyone. Take care xx

Good morning everyone 🙂

Huge waves to Dame, Miss, JV, Beanie, Kezza, PCT and anyone else I've missed.

Not bothered with the cup either here so off grocery shopping. Our angora Rabbit had babies, sadly only one survived, so hoping the lil one survives.

Apart from that have been spring cleaning. My house is actually looking like a house not a shack lol

Anyway better go OH is bringing me brekkie in bed 🙂
Have a great day all 🙂

Hi Purps and good to see you out and about.....not sure where you are at the momento..........but if passing through the Goldie by all means would love to have a coffee etc with you both.........hope the trip is going AOK for ya:)x

HI everyone..

Yes Cup day and I am spending it at home with OH and the doggie.

I always wait til I see the horses coming out before I decide which one to go for on the day. I have picked winners in the past so my method kind of works.

Its overcast and rainy off and on in Melb today, wow, what a surprise....NOT....lol. Its rare you get a fab day for the cup.

I will be sitting there having peppermint tea and choc marshmellow choc bikkies... a far cry from my champagne and dip days when my sisters and I would sit there and enjoy it. I had at least two of my sisters there on a couple of occasions in the past.

I had to ring Aus Post today for an international postal quote and they said, oh we arent taking calls from VIC today, but the lady did so that was good!

Have a good day everyone though i kinda wish I were going to the winery with Miss, I am glad not to be out in the cold.

No matter what: keep smiling.

Afternoon all!

Hi JVH - sun just came out - so hopefully your son will enjoy! Thanx for the 'treat' tips - think we have tried every one on the market but will persevere. She is a lovely little dog - shudder to think what she has been through.

Hi purple - not sure where you are atm but hope you are having a great day!

Hey bella you must have the cleanest house ever - all that spring cleaning! You are making me feel guilty lol!

Hi beani the sun just came out - we are about to leave for the winery meeting friends there - waiting for the OH (as usual lol) - he always takes longer to get ready than I do.

Off to lunch now - hope everyone's horse comes in!! Have a great day!
