If it’s just a day, it’ll be more than capable. I only feel beaten up on multi-day trips in the Alps.

Tense!

Shell Bay, Studland.

Can you get over into Sion Valley?

I’d go drivesett.

Maybe they just don’t like Americans.

They don’t sound like a friend.

I really wish I had.

I think you’re doing an amazing job. Please be kind to yourself. It will get better, every day ❤️

Train from GVA to BSM is about £30.

I’m glad to hear you’ve had some success! Yes it’s funny eh – cat food is shit. I feed our dog raw and she absolutely thrives on it but the cats wouldn’t touch it and it saddens me that even though I’ve tried to feed the cats good quality protein, it made her really sick. I’m hoping that if we get through this episode I can start her back on some nice quality meat (instead of the crap felix which was the only thing they’d eat for years).

You can do Square and Compass from Tom’s Field 90% off road. Very handy 😉

So, vet fairly certain it’s IBD. Ultrasound showing nothing but some inflammation in the small intestine and all major organs functioning well. Still a possibility of lymphoma but vet thinks unlikely at this stage. Just some vitamin test results to wait for to see if she has a B12 issue. Got four weeks of prednisolone so we’ll see how we go! Might need to change to another hypoallergenic food so if anyone has any positive experiences with a particular one please do share. Her diarrhoea was joined by wind last night (messy!) so hopefully she’ll start to feel better soon.

Aren’t cats funny when they’ve been on the ket? 😂

Tom’s Field +1. It’s a short walk to a pub in the village and a bit of a longer (but worth it) trek to the Square & Compass.

We stayed here in September last year: https://www.bolberryhousefarm.com/

Nice spot, not far from Hope Cove, lots of choice for beaches within a short drive.

Thanks Sprootlet 😔

Thanks everyone. Poor little mite has got blood in her poo now. Ultrasound and more blood tests on Monday.

Can you remember how long it took for her symptoms to improve?

Sorry to hear that. The potential for lymphoma is my worry. How old was she?

That’s good to hear. We are back in the vets on Monday for an ultrasound – she’s just squirting liquid out now :(

Me neither.

‘No holes barred’ is one of the attractions at Centerparcs.

Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Defo over 5m though – adds £15 between Portsmouth and Cherbourg, for example.

The extra length meant we could have a bike garage inside the back of ours, rather than bikes on a rack externally (which was a no no for us).

A large Pinot in a pub 4 miles away, £6.50.

That’s less than £20 a bottle, which is pretty cheap.

au contraire dear chap, I exude joie de vivre, hence why I don’t get dragged down by mediocrity.

I’m a woman, and you really don’t.

Sometimes it can be very very hard being extremely middle class, I understand the pressure you must be under.

Must be exhausting to be that bitter.

We’ve done it – LWB T6 with an Amdro Angel and a fully sealed bike garage in the back with a massive storage drawer underneath. Front wheels off and fork mounted, fits two bikes in fairly easily. PM me if you would like some photos.

We are well chuffed with it.

I liked it!

One of my oldest friends made the move with her family last year. They live in Villars and they are both teachers. Great lifestyle and the only thing that makes me wince is the cost of their healthcare insurance.

If I found out my husband posted this about me on the internet I would struggle to forgive him. Just because someone doesn’t like what you deem to be ‘exercise’, doesn’t mean they can’t be healthy.

I like the Sainsbury’s one in the blue box.

Don’t just start a thread on MSE – read all the FAQs first!

Come back here with questions if you need to.

And who did you appeal to?

Did they issue a Notice to Keeper and have they complied with POFA?

Letter before claim is usually the one you don’t ignore.

Is it from a local authority? Just pay it.

Thanks for all your experiences. Sounds like I need to drop the barriers more often and just let ‘em get on with it.

They are there! Can you not see them? 🤔

Not a pug, but almost as bad…

😳

I’m just out but will post photos in a bit! Just to warn you – we didn’t get a cocker spaniel (I don’t want any of you to be disappointed…).
