The difference between cats and dogs is that cats bugger off to find another donor when the treats dry up, whereas dogs just sit at your feet with that don't-you-love-me-any-more look in their eyes!Far too tight and fat to give her dinner away
My cat on the other hand gets lots of treats
She does, however, make sure she sits where I can't forget about her if I'm eating anything that I *do* share with her - mainly snacks such as apples, bananas and carrots But I always make her wait til I'm done, and if she gives any hint of begging instead of sitting politely, she doesn't get anything.
A friend came over with her dog 'Buster' yesterday and we went for a little walk over the local hills. We got caught in a heavy shower 'on the tops' but the weather got much nicer as we walked back down into town so we sat in the sunshine in front of a cafe in the pedestrianised area and enjoyed coffee and cake.
Buster was on the scrounge, but I denied him. I don't believe in feeding dogs scraps because they never stop pestering you for more. I haven't met a dog yet which ever seems to think "Okay, that's enough for me"! His mistress has other opinions though so he got about 1/4 of her cake ...

"No means NO!"
Just got in from my commute to find that the Water Board have turned the water off in our road. I was looking forward to a nice shower, but it looks like I'll have to sit around a bit smelly until it comes back on. Good thinking from MasterGM, he bought several big bottles of water so 
is still OK.Just a quick heads up I don't know if this affect anyone here but just in case.
I was looking round the internet yesterday and I came across an article concerning a company called CPP who provide credit card and identity theft insurance, currently they are involved in giving people a refund who have been sold this insurance when they didn't really need it as most of the benefits are provided by your bank anyway and they also over stated the risks when it is sold.
After reading the article I realized that I had such a policy between 2007 and 2011 so I called them yesterday to see what I could do and they just call to say I will get a full refund of all my payments + 8% interestso if anyone here has had such a policy call them.
Thanks for that Phil, I'm the same had policy about the same time as you. I'll call them in the morning, fingers crossed I might have a nice little couple of hundred quid to look forward to
Phil, is this your next delivery of haribo?
If so, it's just gone passed our campsite.
Happy to report that the flatpack challenge numero uno has been constructed with minimal blood loss and cursing.
I read that as "Flapjack" challenge and wondered what it was......
