Jack was on a diet a year ago and has now kept his weight off. Poor thing gets kibble for neutered dogs/dogs with a tendency to get fat.... I should probably get something like that myself! I bet your biggest boy is secretly pleased that you have been bragging about his great football success :-)<br /><br />Have a lovely week xxChristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11883091348839145603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-69962275947437444622019-10-12T22:19:01.892+01:002019-10-12T22:19:01.892+01:00I haven't been able to comment for ages but ha...I haven't been able to comment for ages but have discovered I can if I use my laptop and not my iPad which is a pain because the laptop is so slow!<br />And whoohoo... a hat trick!!!Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05689402000429710324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-17722045548494171132019-10-11T22:29:04.903+01:002019-10-11T22:29:04.903+01:00Hahaha....seem/seems!

Perfectly acceptable to mention son's footballing prowess, how many goals did you say? My boys were usually in goal so if they ever scored anything it was RED LETTER DAY, for sure.

My girl is also a defender and last year she got ONE goal all season, and I couldn't stop talking about that. I meant to comment on your last post too - she's also started refereeing and I'm far more nervous watching her do that than playing. Luckily so far she's only had some good natured comments about VAR but she's still my baby and I'd be happy to make that quite clear to any criticising parent who thinks otherwise... Good luck to your lad with his and I think it's brilliant they're both putting themselves out there and helping other kids play.

Hope he’s not like my neighbours dog who has an aversion to walking and she has to literally drag him along the pavement for the first five minute. Enjoy Philip Pullman, just from the cover it looks like a wonderful book. Have a good week. Walkies!

Before we went on holiday there were lots on our trees. When we came home , nothing. It is the same with our pears. Maybe it was windy, they all fell off and the deer ate them? Maybe it was squirrels or jackdaws? It's a mystery! Enjoy the Philip Pullman. xxVeggieMummyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17467026136649574350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-56215735696121580372019-10-07T04:54:12.363+01:002019-10-07T04:54:12.363+01:00Such a lovely post.

It's hard work. At the moment, a 5-2 approach seems to be working very slowly, where I have two days a week fasting. That means I have a very, very small amount on those days and then you have 5 days of normal diet without trying to catch up on the two days that you ate very little. I never fast on two consecutive days. What food is on the dog's diet? I have just planted some yellow tomatoes last week so will see how they turn out this summer. One way you could use some apple is to slice it and fry a little till they are softer and then serve with some pork. I know you are vegan but maybe the rest of the family will enjoy them.
