    3. switch phone off


    HTH
    She's been job hunting for a while now, but there's sod all about that's close to home. Even the local MacDonalds isnt hiring.

    She's already cleaned the kitchen - Thats what the second call was to tell me about.

    She has my work number so that wont really work.

    The main problem is that she always used to have the dog at home with her to keep her company, now he's gone she's noticed it more with no-one else in the house.

              Both my parents are in the hospital at the moment

              Mum went in for her op yesterday (which went well) but dad was rather poorly yesterday so we had the doctor out to him, who called out the paramedics.

                Mum should be out this afternoon though hopefully.

                  I'm also having my "clips" (essentially metal stitches) removed later today - I'm hoping that will relieve some of the soreness.

                      Thats a shame for her. My parents dog is old now too and I know it's going to be hard for them when she goes... especially now my brother lives away.

                      They keep saying they won't get another dog when she goes but the company they provide is invaluable!
