Ex asked to borrow my hoover today as it can be used like a VAX too. The dog was sick and he needs to wash the carpet. He brought her over in the car.

Poor wee Jess. I am besotted with her. She's a 14 month old liver-coloured English Cocker Spaniel. She'll be a gun dog at some point in the future. When they chose her (ex and Mini) they picked her because she was the calm one. Her sisters were springing around all over the place. She's clever, learns commands fast, but is also a bit stressy just now. She's never been beyond kennels and is finding it all a bit overwhelming.

She hadn't eaten since arriving with them last weekend. They've bought all kinds of foods and they remain opened, un-eaten, wrapped in placky bags. I gave her (processed) chicken slices. She nommed! Woohoo!

Anyway, when he got here he went into the cupboard under the stairs to collect the hoover. Everything in that cupboard is covered in dust. It's foam-backed carpet dust. When we first moved here years ago, we went to a carpet shop and chose a hessian-backed carpet for the stairs. We only had one bike between us so I sauntered off to get the bus. He went back in the shop and changed the carpet order so we got a cheapo foam-backed one!

I suspect that's why he decided to empty the whole cupboard today and clean it out :)) Nice. I'm so so so grateful though. He took everything out, chucked the un-needed boxes in the recycle, whacked the off-cuts of carpet that I keep for no good reason to get rid of all the dust, hoovered and put everything back with a big polythene sheet over it! So tidy 8|

Jess kept going in the cupboard as it was like a wee room. Her own wee room :))

Damn, concentration going. Am watching Seven Days On The Breadline. feel like crying for that daft lad with the tag on his ankle. And the wee souls saying "Free!" when they get new (and very cheap) shoes that fit :'(

*cough* ... sorry :lalala:

ANDY'S HERE TOMORROW!

Better go to bed. It's been a long day and we've a school meeting in the morning. Truancy.

*lalala*

P.S. Mattress delivery on Friday. They changed the date. I'm sure we'll manage ;)
