Re: The Happy Thread!!
Hi Derbyflan,George has glucosamine with chondroitin every day,he had a cartlidge removed just before Xmas,he has arthiritis in his leg,hes fine has long has he does not over-do it........... the other day we were walking up a track on the moors,I let him off the lead,the next thing I new he spotted the sheep and took off like a whippet He crossed a river and was on his way up a flamin mountain ,we managed to coaxe him back,but the jumping through the bracken and crossing the river took its toll on his legs,he was struggling when we got him home,but thank goodness he,s OK now.
I was a bit worried cause the op cost us £1400 ,and I intially thought he had done some more damage.Hes had two ops on that leg now,so I dont want him going through any more.........

Re: The Happy Thread!!
Hiya Jandy. Poor old George has been in the wars eh? How old is he now? I had a Boxer 'til he was 13. He used to be on Metacam for his arthritis. That's great stuff but I think prolonged use can lead to liver/kidney problems. Vets only normally give it when there's only a handful of years left. But it did give him a new lease of life. I hope the £1400 came from his insurance by the way
they said it was because it was the same leg he had a cruciate done two years ago.They paid for that,but would not pay again,when I read the policy it says that a condition is only covered for twelve months from the first day of treatment.George is five now,he has quietened down a lot now,but does tend to over-do it now and again.

Just can't seem to shake off this down feeling at the moment. It just seems that every poosible obstacle is being put in our way as far as getting to CB is concerned at the moment.
In fact, change that order, make it a skip full!

Deal with each and every obstacle as an individual event, don't allow them to clutter up together..............hold on.............................
WOMAN! HOVER QUIETLY FFS!!!.............................
and once you break them into little things then they don't seem a problem at all, just little things you need to deal with before you go.
Dont sweat the little things.

Re: The Happy Thread!!
Here's an idea for you CM.....forget the fresh flowers! Cook kippers for breakfast, then something with plenty of garlic for lunch and finish off dinner with danish blue (the one which smells like sweaty feet 
) and crackers. You can be sure of a viewing 
Then all you have to do is rush around opening doors and windows before they arrive

You can be sure of a viewing Then all you have to do is rush around opening doors and windows before they arrive Is this just something everyone goes through, and part of the adventure of getting to Spain? 'Cos if it is, it sucks big time! I am usually such a bubbly person, and never let things get me down, but just at the moment I really do feel depressed.
As for the fish thing, Lionda, strange you should say that, but the other night I did a lovely Spanish fish stew which was delicious, but stunk the house out for over 24 hours. OH said that if anyone came to view they would have to be given pegs to put on their noses before they entered.
To make matters worse we saw a property almost identical to ours, and less than one mile away, newly on the market at £15,000 below our price. Hold on, no, it was better as it had a lot of land with it. OH thinks it might be the start of the slump in property prices. Oh shut up Sally, you will depress everyone else! We have asked for a meeting with our agent next week, see what he has to say about things.
Think I will clear off of the computer for a while. Sorry, as you all were...back to being happy!

Not alot, I did used to ride alot before I moved to spain on a provisional.. thought I could have passed back then. Main reason I came back was to do my test. Not that far from it, best doing it here than in Spain I reckon!
