Hi folks
I just thought I would set you up a new thread for February - in fond memory of Ellie 
I'll close the January thread so you can continue chatting here.
Please do feel free to set up your own thread, but we can always do it if you prefer 
It seems like we are all waiting scan results! My scan was 4 weeks ago and I get the results on Tuesday. This has been a very long wait and has really been playing on my mind this time, which is probably why I have been so quiet.
Gilpat it is a huge decision to get a dog. When we got Alfie everyone was saying to me “it’s just like having a baby” but it not at all! A baby sleeps! A baby you can put down and know it is not going to move or cause chaos A baby doesn’t bite you. Alfie was a terror for biting! He would jump up and bite my arm or chest! He is one year old now, and he still bites when playing, he doesn’t mean to, he’s not aggressive with it, but there was a time that he was, and there was a time when we wondered if we could keep him. I am glad we preserved, but we have always had dogs, from boxers to bichons, so I would like to think we are experienced dog handlers, but Alfie is on a different level. If you do decide to get one then do lots of research of the breed, if it’s a pup make sure you see the mum and dad if possible, to see their temperament, and stay away from terriers unless you want an Alfie. More importantly good luck with your scan results today! I will be thinking of you and pray you come back here with good news.

i hope i have tagged you correctly this time! It is awful isn’t it to have to wait so long for scan results ! I’ve been trying to occupy my mind, but it hasn’t worked this time! I hope the next couple of weeks go quickly for you.
I cringed when I read about your vein issue! You poor thing, it is horrible when they are digging around trying to find a vein! You will be in my prayers for a good result next week. But how joyful it was to read that you then went to have such a lovely lunch! You wouldn’t have envisaged doing that a couple of weeks ago! I am so happy that your day turned into such a lovely experience. As our dear Ellie would say, onwards and upwards.
Patrick I love my dry white wine. 
i am sorry to hear about your family member. It must be so hard for her with a language barrier. You are right we all do deal with news differently, but just a gentle reassurance at this time can go a long way.
Good luck with the seminar. It sounds very interesting.
Yes I’m at Clatterbridge- they are brilliant with me
I’ve just done the 3 week scan wait , it’s horrible but managed it quite well this time until the night before my appointment (which was yesterday)
Anyway no change from August - yay !!!
Blood tests all fine too at the moment
Lets hope I’m starting a roll of good news
Hugs to all

It is with deep sadness that I post our dear friend SHARON, from Lanarkshire, has passed away yesterday morning.
She fought with bravery and courage as long as it was possible, sustained by the love from her daughter Sarah, family circle and of course her beloved dog. Heartfelt sympathy to Sarah, family and friends at this difficult time.
Goodbye dear Friend sleep in peace until we meet again
