Apparently the puppy wee'd and poo'd in the back yard overnight... yaaaay! That hopefully means that she's starting to relax here again now... just as she's about to be doggy-napped again! 😢
***
That's the puppy medicated, walked and fed. Such a good girl.
***
Supplements swallowed. They all went down pretty easily this morning, thankfully.
***
My OAB pills have just arrived... they are tiny! Need to take them twice a day so I'll take the first one when I take my supplements and the other when I take my prescriptions in the evening. I'm taking 7 pills a day now and one of them has to be taken twice a day... definitely gonna get through the squash fast now!
***
Just done a bit more maffs and as long as we don't spend over £50 a week on the groceries, I'll be able to replace the £70 I lent Steve for the bills into my savings to take it up to £150 and still be able to put a bit more in Steve's car fund, depending on how much Mitzi's vet visit is next week, but it's such a relief to have even a small amount of savings instead of being totally overdrawn and heavily in debt like I was a few years back! Yaaaay me! 👌😌👍
***
Bought a large cushion to put behind me to hopefully push my bum forward on here (the sofa). It hopefully won't be too big to push me off otherwise it's money down the drain!
It's a good job I'm being paid on Monday and I double-checkered my maffs this afternoon! lol
***
I'm trying to re-train the puppy to sit and wait for her meals now until I tell her it's OK to start eating. She reliably waits now but the sitting bit needs a lot more work. Her bum sat for maybe a second or two this evening, which is an improvement on this morning, but needs more work. Gotta keep her brain and obedience working in her senior years! lol No slacking off just 'cos she's an old lady now!
***
Time for me prescriptions now... it'll be weird taking 3 tonight, but that's what has been prescribed so needs must! 😟
***
That's them swallowed. 8 pills a day now! 😲
***
Shutting down for the night now then heading to bed 🛏.
Nite nite orl. Sea ewe in the morning.
😴💤😴💤

Thursday 8th August 2019
Mornin' all.
Still virus free, so time to make a start on the back-ups now.
***
Back-ups started for another week and apparently the puppy has already had her pills, so I'll take her for our stroll when I can move my feet (don't want to risk disconnecting the external hard drive accidentally lol)
Doesn't want to play ball again so I'm gonna give it one last try then try again later 'cos apparently "last worked leaving it 'til later worked magically" so it's got one last chance then I'll try shutting down while I walk the puppy and try again when we come home.
***
Just rebooted and it's still not behaving, so I'm gonna shut down and walk the puppy in the vain hope of being able to do the back-ups when we get home and I've fed her.
***
Just walked and fed our puppy. Apparently she wee'd overnight too and she nudged my hand out of the way when I was putting her breakfast in her bowl, so she'll have a bigger lunch/tea than normal.
***
The backups have started so I can't move my legs for at least the next two hours lol
***
That's the back-ups sorted for another week. Not entirely painless, but not frustrating agony either. Need to remember NOT to back-up Visual Studio next week and go for a wee while I'm waiting for my laptop to see the external hard drive lol.
***
Just taken a video of the puppy and she's actually awake and moving around in this one. Just uploading it then I'll do the admin on my site and upload it.
Need to remember to take me supplements too... hold on and I'll do that now while I remember.
***
That's the supplements swallowed and my appointment to see Brad has been moved forward by a couple of days for some reason. That's totally OK though, just need to remember that it's on a Wednesday instead of a Friday this time is all.
***
That's the shopping sorted ready for Monday evening. £50.32 this week and that includes my magasines, two sauces and a bag of banana's. For a week's shopping, that's less than two take-aways so I'm really proud of us for mostly rejecting take-aways now and the take-aways we do have are a lot less frequent and a lot healthier choices than they used to be too!
***
I've just asked Steve if he still needed the twice weekly rewards for cooking and he's said he doesn't really, so when he's finished what's in the fridge atm I won't get him anything else unless we start relying on take-aways again.
So proud of you, Steve! 👍👍
I'll get him occasional rewards, they just won't be for bribes any more... they will be less frequent surprises to hopefully keep him motivated to cook for us.
***
Just had me lunch 🍴... spiced vegetable patties and loads of veg. Totally yummy 😋. I've always loved the flavour of fruits and veggies... the fresher the better 🤤. Being able to pick, rinse and eat straight away is the ideal, but pre-packed fruit and veg is the next best, considering how tiny our back yard is.
***
After only a week at home, Mitzi is going again at the weekend 😭. Apparently because she hasn't had any medicated baths since she's been home, she'll need to be treated intensively again 😭. It's been great having her home again and it'll break my heart all over again at the weekend, but we need to do what's best for Mitzi's health not our hearts 💔.
***
Just bought Steve a watch for 1p (not a typo, amazingly enough) and £2.99 delivery as well as a pair of shorts for £19.99 the next size down, just to see if they fit. If they do then that's fantastic, but if not then I don't reckon it'll be far off and it'll hopefully inspire Steve to keep losing weight.
***
Mitzi took both her pills off me this evening! She's taken the small one off me once before but never the big one until this evening!
So proud of you puppy!
***
Just taken me pills and I'm gonna have an early night now. Think I deserve it.
Nite nite orl!

Wednesday 7th August 2019
Mornin' all. Just taken a video of our baby girl... gonna upload it now before I forget.
***
OK, that's the video uploaded, time to take our baby girl for her walk now.
***
Our baby girl poo'd on her walk! Such a relief!
Maybe that means that she'll wee tomorrow 'cos it'll be 2 days since her last wee and today was 3 days since her last poo?
Time for me supplements now.
***
That's the supplements down the hatch. I was wrong yesterday too... I only double-dosed once, not twice on the B12 and I'll be taking my last pill of the current two bottles next Wednesday.
***
Having issues with our internet connection... this is the third time I've re-started my likkle laptop and re-started the virus scan and it's only just gone 10am!!
***
There must be a bit of pollen floating around outside right now, 'cos my hayfever is really making me feel gross right now 😒.
***
That's our lunches ordered. I'm going with the foot-long vegan, loads of salad, 2 sauces and we're sharing 12 cookies... yumsk hopefully! 🤤
***
Apparently it's "too far away to order" so we'll try again at about 12.30pm 'cos it was after 1pm that Steve ordered yesterday. It's totally OK with us, but how about a more appropriate error message? 😉
***
There seems to be a problem with the Subway Steve originally went to, so we're going to a much more local one instead, but it doesn't seem to offer the 12 cookies 😢. Ho hum. Assuming that this Subway doesn't go splat... ah-ha! They do offer the cookies 😃 it was just in a different section so we're getting what we had hoped to get from the original one and apparently "it's already gone to the 'we are preparing your order' page" and Steve's just got a text to tell him that too, so hopefully things will be delivered quicker this time 'cos they are a lot closer than yesterday's one 🤤.
***
Mmmm, very yummy. Might stick to the one I had yesterday (without the patty) and load up on today's 9 veggies instead. There's nowt wrong with the patty, just a touch dry and the bits get into my broken tooth a bit much for my liking is all.
Definitely recommend Subway sarnies though!
***
***
Just had an automatic acknowledgement from the council after the cat poo in the street report I made on Thursday morning... they've changed if from just simply "fouling hazard" to specify "cat fouling hazard" now! I'll still keep reporting it as I see it but it's good that I can specify it's a cat doing it instead of a dog now! WTG GCC!
***
Zoop for tea tonight. Yumsk.
***
Just taken my prescription. First of the 4 months supply that was delivered on Friday and I'm expecting another delivery on Friday for my OAB... wish me luck with taking them!
***
I'm having an early night tonight... 7.35pm and I'm heading to bed now.
Nite nite orl!

Tuesday 6th August 2019
She weeeeeeee'd on her walk!!!!!!
I can now, officially, stop worrying!
She was also admired three different times too. The second time was with a car-full of people who were amazed that she was 10 years old and they thought it was 6 doggy years to 1 human year so I corrected them that it was 7 which amazed them even more.
Going to feed her now.
***
She's finished off her bag of food too, so I'll open up her new bag tomorrow.
***
The puppy took her tablets really easily this morning too. She just takes the small one off Steve and swallows it, but we have to disguise the big one in plastic cheese, but that's OK - she swallows that whole too, so we just reduce her food slightly with the approval of the vet nurse.
Time to get me dosed up now!
***
That's me supplements swallowed. Must have accidentally double-dosed on the B12 twice 'cos I've got 5 B12 and 7 Iron left for some reason. 😯
***
We is having a Subway sarnie each for lunch and a mini portion of pasta 'n' sauce for tea so that we can use up the mini pasta sauce that came as a substitute in last week's shop and Steve can still get his Friday reward as long as we have home-prepared meals for the rest of the week.
***
Still as yummy as we remembered... time to do battle with the Dorito's now!
***
Because the delivery took longer than expected, Steve's got a voucher for £2.50 off our next order that's valid for the rest of this week so I can see us having another Subway sarnie this week, prolly tomorrow, instead of the zoop I usually have 'cos of the virus scan. Steve's gonna have 2 sarnies and I'll have the footlong one though lol Maybe carry on having bits'n'pieces or a cooked lunch on a Monday, burgers (to use up the fresh bread rolls that are delivered with the shopping on Monday evenings) on a Tuesday and Subway sarnies on a Wednesday so that I still don't have to worry about putting my laptop on the floor and risking unplugging it, so having to re-start the virus scan and possibly zoop for tea on a Wednesday.
My preferences for take-aways definitely go in this order:
***
That's the two cache's cleared, ready for tomorrow. Time for me prescription now... tonight is exactly 8 weeks of taking the new, lowered dose. Gotta remember to bin the current boxes and unseal the first two boxes of the eight that were delivered on Friday. I'm hoping to get the prescription that the doc did for me yesterday, delivered on Friday and that they are neither capsules or have dairy in them. Wonder if I need to take them in the mornings, like me supplements or in the evening alongside my current prescription?
***
Just checked the online prescription thingy and it's one tablet twice a day, so I'll take the first one with my supplements and the second one when I take my other two prescriptions in the evening... I'll be rattling (assuming the tablets aren't too big of course) 'cos I'll be taking eight tablets a day for at least 28 days!! I'm gonna be getting through the squash at a rate of knotts lol
***
Off to beddy-byes now.
Night night all... 💤

Monday 5th August 2019
Took the puppy out for her first long stroll after she came home for good. Completely confused her by not opening the door after 650%, or 800%... she waited by the door every 50% after that until we did 1250% and I opened the door for both of us. She jumped in her bed and fell asleep almost straight away bless 'er!
***
Time to go to me doc appointment now... wish me luck!
***
Just got back. I've been diagnosed with an OAB and she's prescribed pills and I've got to go back in 4 weeks to see how I'm getting on.
Time for me supplements now then I'll call the Benefits Agency to let them know about my newest diagnosis. Gotta get my coil replaced again 'cos it hasn't been done since 2010 apparently and it should be done every 5 years so I should have had it done 5 years ago and again next year!!
Not gonna worry about that yet though. Time to take me supplements and call the Benefits Agency before I forget.
***
Just taken me supplements, so time to call the Benefits Agency now so that they can hopefully add it to my decision file.
***
Steve's "going to drop an email to the CAB lady about the PIP form before you phone the Benefits bods, 'cos she said she was going to send us a copy" so I've asked that he says about my new diagnosis to her too. I'm thinking that she's totally forgotten to send the form though, 'cos I haven't had a decision about it or the copy of the form she sent or anything yet, and the deadline was 7th July!!
***
Steve's sent the email now, thankfully, so we've just got to wait for her to get back to him now!
***
Steve's just had a delivery of his perching stool and new toilet seat but they take up most of the kitchen now and I bet it'll be my fault when M can't sit down or move the food into the cupboards! I'm soo fed up with being constantly blamed for things that aren't my fault.
***
He's made me my squash!! Yaaaay!
***
Just taken my prescription and I will have taken the lowered dose for 2 months (or more prescisely, 8 weeks) tomorrow with no ill effects whatsoever which is so totally awesome!
***
Absolutely exhausted after this morning's marathon walkies with the puppy then the trip to the doctor's less than an hour later! Gonna have an early night methinks.
Nite nite orl.

Sunday 4th August 2019
That's the puppy walked and fed, spreadsheet updated so we've just got the rubbish and recycling to do then uploading the spreadsheet. Still over 2,000% extra, despite the puppy not being here for the first 3 days of the week, which is awesome!
***
That's the rubbish and recycling taken out and over half of our carrier bags in one of the boxes too! There's still more than enough for the puppy's poo potentially every day next week and another back when we clear up the poo's she does at home but they aren't taking up room in our kitchen now and we are helping the environment by not just binning them.
Time to do the spreadsheet and take me supplements now.
***
That's the laptop unplugged to run down the battery. That's a monthly thing that I do... hope it's finished and plugged back in before I head to bed!!
Really is time to do the spreadsheet now lol
***
That's the spreadsheet sorted, just need to adjust it on my phone ready for next week, then I'll take my supplements.
***
That was easier and a lot less stressful than it usually... it's cos I didn't do the dates, d'oh! I'll do that now while I remember lol
***
OK, that's the dates done... that was stress-less too, thankfully.
***
Supplements went down surprisingly easily this morning... are all the positives so far this morning a sign that today will be a good day? That Gaia and the Green Man want to give me a break from all the usual crap today? I hope so!
***
Pazza Bake for lunch today... I'm drooling already lol My mouthwash tablets are due today as well as the pup going for her medicated bath with Steve's cousin, so it's gonna be all go this afternoon lol
***
Yumsk. The Pasta Bake was gorgeous today. Just waiting on it going down then I'll have a bath and get dressed, ready for tomorrow. I'm wondering what time, if at all, Steve's cousin is coming over for the puppy. Have I got time to have my bath or should I wait?
***
Had a bath and the mouthwash tablets have been delivered, so just waiting for Steve's cousin now. Steve doesn't think she'll come today "or we'd have heard by now" but I'd prefer to look on the positive side of things and think that she *will* come, maybe she's just enjoying a few hours off is all.
***
Just reviewed the mouthwash tablets. Definitely not worth the money - you're paying for the Listerine brand name rather than the product. I'll use what's been delivered, but won't buy any more.
***
Don't think the puppy is going to be picked up today after all, so I'm gonna down me prescriptions and head to bed.
***
I'm off to bed now in the possibly vain hope of getting up early in the morning so that I can take the puppy for her stroll before my medical appointment.
Nite nite orl! 😴

Just reviewed the mouthwash tablets. Definitely not worth the money - you're paying for the Listerine brand name rather than the product. I'll use what's been delivered, but won't buy any more.
***
Don't think the puppy is going to be picked up today after all, so I'm gonna down me prescriptions and head to bed.
***
I'm off to bed now in the possibly vain hope of getting up early in the morning so that I can take the puppy for her stroll before my medical appointment.
Nite nite orl! 😴

Product Review: Listerine Go Tabs
⭐⭐⭐ out of 5
These have just arrived and I couldn't wait to try my first one... would they taste chalky? Would the liquid be too much for me to be able to hold in my mouth?
The answer to both of those questions is "no". I didn't find it at all chalky and the liquid I was expecting it to transform into was non-existent. More like a crumbly sweet than mouthwash.
You seem to be paying for the Listerine brand name rather than the product. I'll keep one packet in my bag, one upstairs and the rest down here in the living room in case we have a curry or something or I'm going to see someone either medically or professionally or whatever, but, to me, they are a total waste of money.
Think I'll stick to using my usual mouthwash instead of these. Huge waste of money.
Very disappointing. I certainly wouldn't pay full price for them and while it's not a terrible purchase, it's definitely not one of my best either.

Saturday 3rd August 2019
Our senior baby girl has poo'd!!! At last!
Apparently she did it last night and it stank and she needed her little paw to be held... but she did it!
So proud of you puppy dog! Just need to get her back to weeing more regularly now, 'cos 1 wee in almost 3 days can't be healthy!
***
We've just got back from our morning walk and she's had her breakfast and taken her morning pills with no problem at all! The big one was wrapped in a tiny bit of cheese but she took the small one straight off Steve's hand. So relieved that I didn't have to fight with her this morning and hopefully (as long as it doesn't go mouldy) one slice of "plastic cheese" will last her a week or even 10 days. Need to remember to reduce her daily food portion when I weigh it out first thing though, but I've got Steve's cousin's (the vet nurse) to do it and it's only a tiny bit of cheese twice a day so that she can take her big pill.
***
Think I've worked out that we can spend an absolute maximum of £62 a week on the shopping for the rest of August. It'll leave me with literally nothing in my account...
No. Sod that. The weekly budget is still £50 and I'll be able to put the other £50 into my savings, to mostly cover the £70 I lent Steve to cover the Virgin bill. Same as with the software and webpage he's already been paid to do and promised delivery of "at the end of July". I'm fed up of lending people money and never being paid back (looking at you Steve and Melanie) or paying in advance for something that was promised would be done in 10 weeks back in March (looking at you Steve) or being paid to care for me for 35 hours a week, but rarely get over 5 (looking at you Steve) or promising to come out on walks with the puppy "at the weekend" but not actually doing it (guess who I'm looking at). He's promised to look at the webpages today but I don't believe him - he's already 2½ months past what he promised and he's barely made a start on it apparantly and he can't afford to give me the refund because he's already spent it.
From now on, I won't ask Steve to do anything for me and I'll advertise the job on Fiverr instead 'cos it's a lot cheaper, faster and more reliable as well as paying on delivery rather than in advance.
***
That's me supplements swallowed. The Iron disintegrated in my mouth and the Calcium went everywhere, but other than that everything went down okayish. 👌
***
A wee and another poo from the amazing puppy dog... that's two wee's and 2 poo's in 4¼ days so she's obviously starting to relax and feel comfortable back with us now and I can stop worrying about if it's unhealthy for her to store it all up in her little body. Hopefully she'll start producing more regular wee's and poo's now that she's started again.
So proud of you, Mitzi!
***
We're having a Jalfrezi curry for lunch today. Neither of us have tried it before but it's apparently got the same amount of chilli's on the front of the jar as the Rogan Josh so hopefully it won't be too hot for either of us.
***
Yummy scrummy in my tummy. 😋
It was slightly spicier than the Rogan Josh, but it was a different kind of spicy. We've agreed that neither of us want to go any hotter for a while - it's spicy without being so hot that you can't taste the flavour. It made our noses run while we were eating it, but that's totally OK for us... it was only 20 years ago that I'd never had a curry in my life and Korma was too hot for me initially. I've built up the spiciness level slowly and surely in the last 20 years so if I was working and a team-building curry restaurant visit came up, I would be happy to order a Rogan Josh or Jalfrezi now even though a Korma was too much two decades ago. Three of those years I was too ill to eat and even tap water made me throw up, so I've only really been increasing the spiciness for sixteen of those years.
We'll definitely get it again though! For sure.
***
I was wrong up there ⏫⏫. Going by what I put up yesterday, she poo'd overnight then wee'd and poo'd a couple of hours after our daily stroll this morning, but just one wee a day for such a small senior puppy can't be healthy, can it? She used to flood the street at least once on our morning strolls and several times every day and at least once at night too, so one wee every 24-ish hours can't be healthy, can it❓❓
***
I'm a tester with the Home Tester Club and the reviews for some kind of chew, swish, then swallow mouthwash tablets were mixed so the nosey parker that I am bought them and they'll be here tomorrow, so look out for a review from me on here, my site, Amazon and the Home Tester Club site soonish!
***
Just taken me two prescriptions and it might just be me taking 7½ weeks to realise it, but the 2.5mg seemed to be a lot smaller than I remember the 10mg tablets being! Too late to worry about it now, considering I've got 4 months waiting for me to take that were delivered yesterday lol
***
Off to beddy-byes now. See you all in the morning. Nite nite orl! 💤

Friday 2nd August 2019
That's the puppy walked and fed, she was such a good girl on her walk and met our next door neighbour as they were on their way to school as a family. The little girl is sooo shy bless her, but Mitzi was in her element meeting new people. We did our normal 650% this morning but there's already 750% in the bank after only two days. Not gonna be a huge amount of extra's this week 'cos we are only going on 4 walks total in 7 days because she was staying with Steve's cousin for the first half of this week.
Time for me supplements now then check me emails and start studying my next course.
***
Supplements swallowed now. Not the worst ever, but not far off!
Time for the puppies pills now.
***
After we persuaded her to get out of her bed to take her pills, it was really easy to get them down her this morning. She hates having it done, but she needs to have it to help her to stay healthy. It's only 4 times a day (2 pills, twice a day each) and both of us humans feel sooo guilty, but it's for her health so it's a necessary evil unfortunately. 😟
***
Just uploading a relatively short (51 seconds) video of our baby girl, was only intending to take a photo of her, but wanted to make the most of her being awake lol
***
That's our prescriptions just been delivered... got four months worth instead of 2 for some reason though! Not complaining, just hugely confused 'cos I'm sure the prescription was only seeing me through to my next appointment in September, like the first prescription was!
***
Just phoned my GP surgery about it and they are going to talk to Brad about it then call me back. I'm happy with 4 months supply, but I'm wondering if I should have so many is all. I'm not gonna down them all at once or anything, but I just want to be sure that's OK with Brad too.
***
Brad has just called back. He's happy for me to have 4 months supply as long as I don't do anything silly (ie overdose) with them. That's very unlikely to happen so I'm sorted until November now, which is a relief.
***
Passed the course so managed to get both a certificate and a diploma. Gonna do an Alison course next. 'Fundamentals of Marketing Your Business Online' methinks. It is, in theory, a short course that lasts 1-2 hours so we'll see how I get on with it.
***
Passed the Alison course too... obviously highly sponsored by/written for Google lol. Still, it's a free course so that's very forgiveable!
***
That's me prescriptions taken, so I'm just gonna finish reading my emails then head to bed for an early night, after a very late night last night.
***
Heading to bed now. Nite nite orl!

Thursday 1st August 2019
Pinch and a punch for the first of the month and all that jazz.
***
The puppy walked me 800% today. I was happy to come home after 650% but she carried on walking so I followed her until she was ready to come home. If she's doing 800% as standard, maybe it'll be 1500% on Monday? As long as we do 1250% on a Monday and 650% the rest of the time, I'll be happy with that, but I'll take my lead from the puppy if she wants to do more, now that she's lost weight and is on the right meds.
Time to take me supplements now.
***
That's the supplements down the hatch. Got 11 days of the Iron and B12 before I do battle with the seal on the new bottles, then 120 days of all four of 'em before I run out and I've already got a years supply of all four supplements waiting for me to run out, so I'm sorted until the start of August 2020 which is great forward planning by me!
***
Still virus free and currently doing the weekly backup. Fingers crossed 🤞 it'll work first time after initially backing up to OneDrive after issues backing up straight to the external hard drive. Dunno why it misbehaves like that sometimes, but it's very annoying!
***
Been studying all afternoon, but I passed first time!!!
Need to do the admin on my sites then create and upload 3 video's to two of my sites in celebration!
***
That's the admin done. Wanna put a couple of video's up on my sites
***
That's the one on my homepage done but Filezilla isn't letting me update the members area on my writing site for some reason!
***
I can now, officially, stop worrying about the pup.
Why?
Because she's just been out for a wee and seems to want to go for a poo too but doesn't want an audience!
She's been home for about 34 hours but she's finally relieved herself! 👍 Yaaaay!!! 😁
***
And it's up. Just needed to close Filezilla then open it up from my Start menu again. Need to update the writing blog then take me pills and head to bed.
***
That's my prescription taken and I'll do the writing blog now, before I forget.
***
That's the writing blog updated so I'll just catch up on my emails then head to bed.
***
That's the emails sorted, so I'm off to beddy-byes now.
Nite nite orl 😴
