Idiots!

Speaking of idiots, if things work out the way I hope work wise, and I wind up on the wage required, I'll not only be able to move house this year to a bigger flat, but I may also be able to afford to own and care for a Dog! That includes the day to day cost of a pooch, but also a dog walker to look after him/her whilst I'm at work.

Thinking boxer dog, because they're a cool breed, and not generally too big. I'd be a right happy camper if I can pull this one out the bag!

And I shall call him/her..... spazz.....

English Mastiffs are really cool, got one in September, he was a puppy then! Well, he still is a "Puppy" but is huge :P

Very loveable dog, just wants to snuggle and be a nice large...heavy...lap dog!

I would also suggest looking into, Sharpeis, Pugs, Dashunds and Doberman/Shepard Mixes (the breed of dogs that I have had, been very blessed [18 years for Doby/Shep mix, 22 for Sharpei #1, 1 for Sharpei #2 (She Had Cancer ) 14 for Pug, sitting on 7-8 for the Hot Dog and ~9 Months for the Mastiff...]

Yep, there's loads of dogs out there that need a good home. You could get a puppy from a breeder but before you do please consider rehousing a rescue dog. Staffies have an undeserved image, but are fantastic dogs. Loyal, affectionate, intelligent and very social. They are adaptable too, and will fit in with your life style very quickly. But what ever breed you decide on, or even if its a Heinz 57 mutt, nothing's quite as rewarding as giving a dog that needs a home a second chance and what you get in return is a fantastic friend for life (theirs anyway).

Oh I completely agree on rescue dogs, excepting the Mastiff, every dog ive had has been a rescue so far, there is always that additional spark when they see you... "ITS MY MASTER, HE/SHE CHOSE ME! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU *commence slobber*

Definitely thinking rescue dog. Met quite a few up my local, and they just seem somehow happier than your average pooch, which lets face it is pretty damned happy!

It really depends if I can find a dog friendly landlord, and a flat with a garden. On a day like this, just leave the back door open and let Spazz have the run of it.

Ha! Stupid payday loan company! You shouldn't mess with an adjudicator! Tell me I took out a loan when I know I didn't? Eat bank statement....

And seeing as the amount I'm supposed to have borrowed is the same as I paid you? Seems someone made a booboo. And it want yours truly.

Soon have this sorted, and possibly a bit of a refund and some compensation!

But props to HSBC for being really useful for once!

yeah I saw that, there was a great piece on ign featuring a discussion with Michael Biehn which was awesome.

went to my local club this evening to sell some stuff to two guys for a total of £82, one of them didn't bother coming and the other had forgotten to bring any money. good job I didn't want to eat this week

[DeadPanda]

Thought about eBay ?

[Kirsten]

I do have some stuff to put on ebay, like my crossbows and catapults set, but this stuff I will wait until next Monday, give them another chance. need to get a mini usb lead so I can plug my phone in to my PC and transfer pics

Forget feebay. Go with barter town, or even here. Sell via PayPal.
