Oh Kath, really sorry to hear this. Hope you are ok? x
I'm ok thanks. Fed up but ok. Went to have new leisure battery fitted. I have 2 but only 1 needed replacing. Electrician removed battery, sourced a new one for later in the day and told me to return 330-400. I drove less than a mile before the other battery caught fire. Don't understand electrics but am told that it looks like the electrician didn't isolate the terminals and they touched causing a major short out. Think its a right off but insurance assessor will have to do his bit.

many many years! since I was a kid
we had a disaster yesterday and one of our dogs nearly died, pretty badly injured in a freak accident. Phoned emergency vets last night and took him in this morning. He needs a followup appointment tomorrow to decide if he is fit to travel on to Thetford.
Fingers crossed he is ok and we will be with you Thursday morning. My feeling is he will be alright as he is mostly sleeping all the time, but thought it best to mention it just in case we have to cancel last minute

Oh no, I really feel for you but I'm so glad you're ok. Hope you get things sorted quickly and get back on the road soon, be it in a repaired Van or a new one x

Oh no, hope your dog is going to be ok :(
thankyou for your concern. He got tangled up in a lead and choked himself unconscious, but as he was choking, he was going mad tearing at his collar. this left him with torn ears, damaged front legs and a huge haematoma on the side of his face
the vet gave him pain killers anti inflammatory and antibiotic injections. he is feeling very sorry for himself at present

all the damage happened in just 5 minutes as we left the dogs unattended to move a trailer. All very distressing and a huge shock to open the van door to and unconscious dog and blood all over the place. but a little blood goes a very long way to make what looks like a crime scene

Omg, sounds horrendous! Thank goodness that you got to him on time.
As you say, a freak accident but makes you wonder how these things can happen.
Very upsetting for you.
Hope to see you at Thetford.

I'm certain that if you turned up at the gate waving cash you will be OK. No restriction on numbers just a case of getting a number for the gate. GO ON, GO FOR IT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Too late Mike. I'm told that @Lisa has been practising by drinking yards of ale every evening. It will all be gone. I might save you some Aldi Glenratspiss for when you arrive ;)
