Superb

Good replies folks 🤪

Weld, Weld, Weld, You're brazing face says it all. Bet you like watching the clangers too?

What do you do when it's finished? Get hammered?

Could you post us a "link" to your new hobby please Kenny b? :-)

:-) :-)

Tragedies of war, what about the thousands of young people killed by the regime during the crackdown - obviously that was nothing to do with the Epstein files. God knows what horrors will be found when they open the prisons (like they did in Syria).

Yes, we should have let Iran carry on killing Iranians. No-one has killed more Iranians than Iran.

It may have been schoolgirls that got him there in the first place 😈

To Grumpy Grandad - a small price to pay compared to the 150 schoolgirls killed by our allies whom certain politicians are urging us to back.

150 schoolgirls. Just to get the Trump's mentions in the Epstein files out of the news. Imagine if that had happened here.

War Crimes didn't end with Yugoslavia.

& the rest

I have noticed things have increased in the shops by around 75p.

I know how you feel Damsel!

Kat, I hope that your eye is better soon.

OCD people that I've met do a great job but tend to fuss over the small things.

I hope your eyes are sorted son Kat.

My wife has OCD, Obsessive cleaning disorder.

I could do with your friend's daughter too Beth, everything has got on top of me with the housework and when I look around it feels overwhelming and I don't know where to start, and not to mention the garden! Hope your eye gets better soon Kat.

Hope things improve soon for you Kat.

I have a fridge magnet which says ‘You can touch the dust but please don’t write in it’.

Are there any buses she could get Beth, I'll pay for her travel? Mr Tom is OCD but that just means he's obsessively messy. Sure he just thinks the staff are in annual leave when actually I am avoiding dust so I'm tiptoeing through it, just to be on the safe side!🤣

Emergency consultation today at SpaMedica. Things should improve quickly now I've got drops to drag the excess fluid out of my eyeball! 🧿 It's been a long three weeks!!!

Well done Gary by the way do you fancy swapping post codes for a few weeks as I've checked my pc twice daily for about 16 years now and haven't won a penny. So I could do with some of your luck. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Nice win, enjoy it Gary.

Lovely news, enjoy it Gary.🥳

Congratulations, Gary - a fantastic win..👍!

LLAP 🖖!

Congratulations! Enjoy

Well done 2 u G...

Fantastic well come gary

Very well done Gary.

Congratulations Gary on your win from The Ghost.👏👍

Congratulations Gary , great win enjoy 🥳 x

Congrats and enjoy it!

Well done to Gary, and a volunteer at IWM to boot.

Seems like a good guy.

Definitely! Worth having at any time.

Surely the penny will drop soon and they will realise that they are pricing themselves out of business. It's such a shame, the posties have always done a wonderful job in all weathers but fewer letters will mean more job losses.

Doesn't matter what class, it always takes more than 4 days, even from locally. I've not posted anything (except reply paid envelopes) for years, & still have about 12 old unused stamps somewhere.

Unfortunately second class letters take 13 days to deliver. Or you can pay more for tracked and they take 12 days.

If you’re rich, you can opt for first class and they’ll get there in 11 days.

Well, that’s my recent experiences. 😖

Free ecards instead then.

I generally post only greetings cards and then only second class. Recently when I forgot to post a card on time I sent it first class but it was a 'Large letter' and cost me £3.15, more that the card had cost, needless to say I won't be doing that too often.

.....and second class up to 91p!

Why not go on holiday and lose your passport, then return in a boat?

Paying blackmailers, since when was that in the advisory? Just wait until all the Iranians fleeing regime change come here. You know, the ones who backed the bloke who declared war on everyone. They can join those who fled here in 1979, those who were trying to escape the wrath of Ayatollah Khomeini when he decided it was safe to leave his French sanctuary. Wonder what will happen then? Are the two opposing factions going to duke it out here or are we going to throw money at them to go away?

Don't be silly, Titchy. That makes far too much sense.

IMHO the money would be better spent on paying the victims of the Post Office and the contaminated blood scandals.

Worth a try, maddadof!

They all need to be fingerprinted, and kept on a database, if they try to come back, put them straight in prison then deported.

Has it struck anyone that they will use the money to finance their next trip here? Probably under a new name, so they can claim again? I can think of other ways to abuse that system - pay someone else to come over, and split the £40k with them... It is only (only!) £10 per head, max £40k per family.

Its a pity they are not giving the English folks the 40 grand to move abroad, as I know a lot would like to go, unfortunately Britain is not the country we once new anymore.

40 grand is a bit more 5 months pension ..... well my pension.

Do they get £40 grand every time they come back? Why not just a plane ticket ? That is almost 5 months state pension.

The sad fact is that it’s probably cheaper to do that.

👏👏👏

Well done J...

I should have been a lawyer. When my toilet's blocked I use a loopole.

It's cheaper than gloves. Learn to play the guitar then hit them with the book.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You really do need to proof read. Any lawyer will tell you that loopholes are a useful technicality!

No, they’d used AI to write their description. You can spot them instantly as they state the obvious but add flowery and unnecessary words that pad out but tell you nothing. I’ve seen numerous examples of AI getting the wrong end of the stick.

The problem is that the sellers choose the lazy way to list and then even lazier habit of not checking what’s been written on their behalf. 😌

Maybe they meant beatboxing, that's the only musical term I can come up with. Either that or they're flogging other stuff and copied and pasted the wrong bits lol

Boxing and unboxing?

😵‍💫😵‍💫

Oops, wires crossed!

😊

:-) :-)

🤣

Very stressful, Beth. Glad it is over and all are well.

I'm glad that it went well, even if it was bedlam.

Bedlam! All over now. My friend’s daughter came, thank goodness, and we put puppies in the garden for about 15 mins after lunch. Talk about hectic! She found out what I meant that six puppies scatter in ten directions at once. We left about 2.30, with Indi and pups in the back, but found Indi was trying to get away all the time, as they kept feeding off her. Coming home, we put Indi on the back seat instead. The pups were very sleepy by then, worn out, and behaved beautifully. The vet came to the car, we got them out one at a time and I held them to keep them warm, as it was a chilly breeze there. All hearts, eyes, teeth perfect, two had tiny hernias, nothing needed doing, and it is quite common. Vaccinations went easily, but four of them whimpered a bit when the microchip went in. I rubbed it better, like Mum used to for us, and they slept all the way home. I was pleased that they have been in the car three times now and none has been sick. The bill was a bit of a shock though - £560! Thank goodness for credit cards - I will put a bit on each and pay the rest immediately.

Hope everything went smoothly today.

There's always a little yelp when they get chipped, then they give you the look that says "What did you do that for?"

I hope that they don't get any side effects from their vaccinations.

Beth8it the pics were so adorable and I hope all goes well with their vaccinations & chip tomorrow. I really would love to adopt one but money and OH says no 🙄🙄

Wish mine did! I am working on it.

My age in years and weight in kg now match.

Keep them coming Kenny b

🤣

Folks I know there's 12 inches in a foot but thought it funnier if I put it across that way 🤪😂

@csikijanos - his height might have to stretch to match his weight, but his IQ doesn't

Sorry, kenny b

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

That made me chuckle!!

:-) :-)

🤣😂🤣

Maybe 8ft 2ins?

I'd have to lose an arm

and a leg to even get close!

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯

Thanks for the photos, just seen them. They're really cute.

Thanks Beth8it! and Em for the photos.The puppies are just so adorable.

Well trained. Doing a good job Beth

🧙‍♂️🧑‍🦯🤣

Nice photo's Beth, thanks for sending them on Em...

Beth, thanks for the photos, the puppies are so cute!

Em, thanks for forwarding the pics, much appreciated.

Love the pictures too. Love the pup with the sun shining on his face! 💚

Well stop making caltrops and look!🤣

I haven't seen them yet, I'm busy trying to catch up with yesterday.

Great pics, and they all look so adorable, I'm sure you will miss them when they go.

You gotta love them when they're that size & so soft, didn't realise one black pup had a brown face? .

I thought I counted extra pups, but when I went full screen & enlarged turned out it was your boots.

Thanks to Em for forwarding them.

Just lovely pups!

They are so big and you can see their little personalities already, Now, I can visualise them all sitting down to your command, Beth! Don't know how you will be able to part with them.

Brilliant, thank you.

@Beth8it! - They said it was a gown for meals, but it was a bib really.

We had to wear them for formal assemblies such as main meals in the refectory. A lot of people were only just surfacing then! I only stayed for a year, so never got to graduation day. Provided this year and next go to plan, I should finally get to graduate from the OU. Slightly delayed development!

Beth, I thought we were at Exeter at the same time. I only had a gown for graduation IIRC. Maybe halls differed.

Yes, we often see students wearing their black gowns and mortar boards on graduation 🎓 days in Aberdeen

Enver - I had to wear a gown and mortar board when I graduated (UK university), so it isn't just in the US.

@Johnnerz 👋🏼👋🏼👋🏼

@Beth8it! - gowns were only for teachers not pupils/students, & no mortar boards either in my high school..

You're thinking of American high schools the students have to wear gown & mortar board to officially recieve their graduation certificates. pfft

We once had a posh manager at work (in the days when they were allowed to have their own offices) and he used to shout "Come" when you knocked on the door.

Welcome to our site Johnnerz.

Enver, we had the black gowns at uni, supposed to wear them to meals in the refectory though no mortar boards - are they just for graduates? Lots of impressions of Batwoman going down the stairs, but they didn’t work well.

Hi and welcome. Do take some time to read the FAQs https://help.pickmypostcode.com/ and Rules https://pickmypostcode.com/rules/ which are also linked at the bottom of each page. If ever you need help you can email admin@pickmypostcode.com

Welcome & Good Luck! 🍀🤞

At high school we had to answer "Adsum" (meaning "I'm here") when they called our name in roll call, although they didn't teach Latin, & teachers wore those intimidating black capes.

Great have fun!

Enver. That came as a surprise as I'm only aware of trains doing that so I checked and got this "While the core, English National Concessionary Travel Scheme provides free off-peak travel, local authorities decide whether to fund extra support, such as a companion pass." so no use to me but may be to some. Depends on the disability and need evidence from Dr or other.

I got my Welsh Senior Bus Pass in early 2013 and it is valid till 10/11/2030 (my 90th birthday).

@A Nick Name - I've had a Council issued 60+ National Concession Card (free bus pass & library) last ten years. They automatically posted another to me after a year or so for no reason, & a bus driver then told me the old card had been cancelled & no longer worked, but not had any more cards issued since & the current card still works.

Some disabled people who might need help travelling can take any friend free if their card says "+1" on it.

ANN glad the mortgage honoured the first class stamp 🤣😂

Well, well, well, you learn something new every day. Thanks for all the help. Most I still have problems with as they closed all the banks, post offices, and shops in our town. We are left with Morrisons, Home Bargains and Specsavers but little else other than Asian and Polish, and obviously all those selling drugs. We have one post office I refuse to frequent as the guy running it refuses to let me put over £500 in and even then he counts my notes by hand, then by machine, then checks with ultraviolet and occasionally a pen as well just to be awkward after I contacted his superiors. We don't have photo booths in them.

@enver The council did send someone to our town for one year only to take photos for passes but the next renewal I was told they couldn't use the same photo as there was someone in the background (couldn't seem to understand it was their own people who took it). 60+ passes last five years but if you've used it in the past 12 month they'll renew it automatically. Disabled passes last as long as the person dealing with it decides. I've been getting mine a number of years now and each time they only renew for two years whereas wife's is 5.

I phoned again today and after a long wait she said write on the form the existing photo is an exact likeness, include proof of disability and that 'should' be okay. Can only be done by post though, so went to see the bank manager and got a mortgage for a first class stamp and posted it today. One thing I've learned from you all is remove my glasses. It's always been said "photo with glasses, if worn" for anything like this. So in future it will always be no glasses despite wearing them for 50+ years.

Alley1940, the standards for passport photos include 'without glasses'. Yes, this means taking them off for scanners - I then have to guess at any further instructions (usually it's easy enough because I can still tell if it's gone green and opened the gates).

Tetleyt I would assume it’s only free to people over a certain age, otherwise we’d all be going for free passport photos.

Great idea BuaD. Do they do passport photos too? 🤔

We renewed my daughter's bus pass in the local library. They take your photo and send the forms off. All free, and back in a week

The reflected shine on glasses when taking a photo is almost impossible to eradicate. Last time I renewed my passport I did it in person at the Passport Office and they wouldn't accept my photo as it still had a small amout of light reflection. I was instructed to go and take another picture without my glasses on. After that I had to take my glasses off to go through passport control. I don't have to do that any more thanks to the cataract operations to both eyes.

My library membership expired & they told me to 'Go to any library with proof of ID etc.' I dashed off an email saying I only used digital content because I couldn't get any library as there is no bus stop I can get to anymore. Result, email back within minutes saying my library card had been renewed for a further three years. That made life easier. I did reply expressing my sincere thanks.

Last time I needed to renew my bus pass (used for ID only as we don't have a bus service) I phoned the council and they suggested using the existing photo and posted it out to me. The office is only a mile from my house so I could have walked down and had a new photo taken but the fewer photos of me there are in existence the better I like it.

My council info office has a camera attached to computers that can take your photo on the spot for 60+ & disabled National Concession (bus pass) Cards which AFAIK last indefinately, or until they wear out & are replaced, when they post you a new one within a few days (which invalidates the old one).

Our GPO has a similar facility at the end position to take instant digital passport & driving licence photos. They charge a few quid extra but also check your paperwork is correct before sending it off so it's time saving & worth it..

I will be using the GPO as my passport expired many years ago & I need to renew it mainly for ID. Not sure if the new passport (with the old one cancelled & returned?) is posted directly to your home address, or kept safely for you (to collect (with valid ID? 😂) at the GPO or local Delivery Office ? . They're obviously not allowed to open the envelope containing them to see what you look like !

Malc_H I will look into that.

My friend went to the local Post Office - they took the photo and sent off the application for her, and it came back more quickly than stated. Cost about £11 more if I remember correctly. Worth looking it up.

I had to renew mine last Oct as my last one automatically renewed but only for 8 months as my PIP was only dates till then, so I had to go through all the rigmarole of sending in proof of disability, even though they know it will not improve.

It just shows how each council acts differently. I just received my own disabled bus pass renewal in the post today. Wasn't expecting it as it doesn't run out till end of the month, and thought I'd have to reapply. Renewed automatically for a further 5 years. Pleasantly surprised. They used the same photo from initial application, 8 years ago.

AJR - Go into a "foto shop" such as Max Speilman. They will take a passport photo for you.

A Nickname, they decided to close all the travel shops up here where people could take their paperwork and have a photo taken. There were a number of frustrated pensioners after Covid who found their passes had expired and the helpline directed them to go online (most can't go online). They also expect people to post confidential paperwork (when the nearest post office is a bus ride away) and find somewhere which has a photo booth. They also helpfully suggest that people can send a photo via their mobile phones (which they also don't have).

Nothing official ever goes smoothly 😠

Just love the way it's easier & quicker to do everything online. NOT! 🤬

That’s always the way. I need to renew my passport and I’ve been to 3 booths in different places. One wasn’t working, the second one didn’t like the look of me, and at the third one it was all going so well until it came up with: machine broke call this number. I think it’s me now breaking them so no passport here. Good luck with your bus pass hope you get it sorted soon.

The only surveys created by us at PMP are the ones which reveal the winning postcode of the Survey Draw. Anything outside of this is a survey made by another company. You will notice the different URLs indicating an external survey.

Sometimes you'll be screened out of an external survey because you do not meet the demographic requirements. These could be anything such as age range, gender, location, employment status, where you shop etc. Or it could be that the bracket that you fit in to has had enough responses. The external surveys like to have an even amount of answers from each and each bracket type does not get completed at the same rate.

As the external surveys are advertised across many sites, there could be many people completing the surveys at once, potentially hundreds, and it is possible that your bracket could reach its quota at any point, while you are in the middle of the survey or even at the end.

Our FAQs explain more about them, that we can add the full amount for those who reach 80% completion or beyond and tell members what to do if they need help with anything.

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/89-surveys

https://help.pickmypostcode.com/category/102-surveys

Some do, some don't just like any surveys. Each has a specific demographic and you'll be screened out if you don't fit.

A friend of mine accidentally cut all his fingers off by accident. He had surgery, and afterwards the surgeon came to see him and said "If you had brought your fingers in to the hospital with you we might have been able to reattach them."

My friend replied with "I would have done, but unfortunately I couldn't pick them up."

Lol 63 🤣🤣🤣🤣 still laughing as I type.

The bloke across the road from me lost two fingers, now he can't greet the Jehovah's Witnesses on the door step any more.

@A Nick Name, like that one!

I got my tattoos done on the cheap and he got it all jumbled. Since then everyone thinks I hate voles.

'Will I be able to play the piano, doc?'

'Probably'

'Wow, I never learnt'

I know someone who lost his little finger. His tattoos now say "Love" and Hat"

I like that twist.

Go to your account in the top right hand corner. This will tell you which postcode you are entered with. The Overview page states it.

https://pickmypostcode.com/account/overview/

As does 'My Account' - 'My Details'

https://pickmypostcode.com/account/my-details/

The system completes the draws from a database of active account ID numbers using a random number generator and the parameters of the smallest ID number to the largest. It then displays the postcode on the chosen account number as the winner of the draw. All it ‘sees’ is the account numbers of active members, it is not influenced by any other data or outside factors and is as random as a computer can be.

Have you checked the FAQ? If you joined recently you have qualified for 6 draws and up to 9 as your bonus grows.

Hi Dharma, if this or any other technical issue happens again, could you please take a screenshot and share it with us, granting us permission to share your details with the hosting external survey company. Then we can pass the report on.

We are not affiliated with Kokoro, the companies which we are affiliated with are Survey Marketplaces. They both make their own surveys and host surveys from other companies as well. They are likely unaware that this survey has a technical flaw.

Perhaps Kew means from Premium Bonds

£250 this month.

Kew it’s similar to a lottery or raffle, you can only win if you enter.

I have never won a penny in 7 years, thinking of taking my money out

I got £25 this month, which is my first win in six months. It's the same as PMP: hope not expectation 🙂

Premium Bond prize fund rate are worsening the odds of winning from 3.60% to 3.30% from the April 2026 draw. The total value of prizes in April is expected to be approximately £375 million, with just under 6 million prizes, down from 6.18 million in February.

Zilch for me, £175 for Mr Tom. Never mind, I'm sure next month will be more fruitful. 🤞

I shall investigate…

Jaffa, are your OH and Suelero's husband one and the same, living a secret life???

£25. Whoop de do.

£75 me and £650 for OH! He’s treating me…

And I've got the grand total of £50. Soon taken care of though, the renewal of the council brown bin for garden waste is £92. That has gone up £10 a year.

£150 for me.

Me nothing for the second month running! Husband £650!!! He has it reinvested so it’s no fun.

😟 nothing for either of us this time 😟

I have only just seen this. Thinking of you both. Fingers crossed for you.

I’ll be thinking of you both, @Em & Simon. I’m off to Maggie’s Bart’s for my twice monthly support group tomorrow. Cannot praise the Maggie’s staff enough. They’re so supportive. Hope Mondays appointment goes smoothly.

All the very best to you and Simon, Em, and best wishes for a truly positive outcome.

Laura, I really appreciate you thinking of me and offering me some company. We travelled up to University College London Hospital Macmillan Cancer Centre last year and met the specialist for cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer), Professor John Bridgewater. I believe that where possible we will now stay in our home city, Southampton. At this moment in time the Southampton Oncologists are contacting him via email, but we did have a video call with him after the initial in person meeting when he was arranging for Simon to go onto the Determine Trial, a branch of which was here in Southampton. I think, where possible they are trying to cut our travel down. Monday's biopsy will be done in Southampton General Hospital and sent to Professor John Bridgewater and our local Oncologist will likely give us the results a couple of weeks later.

But thank you for offering to travel to meet me. The Maggie's team here in Southampton know me well. I'll be looked after and I'll do a bit of work.

@Beth8it! Because she mentioned a London specialist, I thought maybe they’d be travelling here. I’m sure the lovely staff there will keep her company.

Laura, Em goes to the Maggies at Southampton General with Simon, not Barts

I wish you both the best of wishes and luck for a great outcome.

Everything crossed for you both, as always. Much love... 🧡

Thinking about you both so much Em, so hoping there will be good news for you both. Like everyone else has said we are all rooting for you and sending lots of love and positive vibes your way.

Hope there's some good news for you after the biopsy Em. 🫂

Best wishes to you both for Simon's procedure.

Fingers crossed that something positive comes through.

Em, if you’d like a bit of company at Maggie’s (Bart’s, I assume?), I could travel into London for a while. If you’d rather crack on with work, I understand.

All the very best to you and Simon. Hope everything goes well on Monday. Take care xxx

Hoping for a good outcome. Positive thoughts coming your way ❤️❤️

Any other time, Em, and I would have come in with you for a couple of hours, but I have the police rep coming on Monday morning. Sorry

Everyone's with both of you. All digits crossed.

Poor Simon, he must feel like a pin cushion. Very stressful for you both to have to be there for that time of the morning, although I don't suppose you will sleep the night before in any case. Hope all goes well. Em.

Wishing you both all the best. Everything crossed for a good outcome. 🙏🏻

Thinking of you both, encouraging for you that further investigation is going on -wishing you a good outcome.

Keep your chins up Em (I'm not implying you've got a double chin Em - I mean both yours and Simon's chins!) Sending virtual hugs and will send positive vibes on Monday while you're both in hospital/at Maggies. Don't worry about work as I'm sure Chris and everyone else will pick up anything that doesn't get done. You've enough to be thinking about just now. Love and hugs to you both. xx

Here’s hoping for some positive news for you both 🤞🏻

Best wishes for that both of you and I will think of you on the day.Shows they are not giving up on you !

Thank you all. I really appreciate you all.

We are all with you and Simon.

Keep your chin up Emma. Wishing you both ATB.

Many best wishes as always Em. Take care & try not to worry.🩷

All the best Em and Simon. I will be thinking of you on Monday.

Thinking of you both, hope everything goes smoothly on Monday. Take care x

Wishing you both strength and 🤞🤞🤞 for some better news next week. I hope you find the support for you at Maggie’s.

Hope all goes well for you, Em. Your situation puts all of life's little annoyances into perspective, we should moan less and care more. xx

Praying for you and Simon, on the 9th. And hoping for something positive in the outcome🤞🤞🤞 Sending more virtual hugs to you bothx

Things are happening at least. Everything crossed.

Thinking of you both and hoping for a positive outcome.

Wishing you all of the best, thinking of you both, stay strong. Xx

💞💚💞💚

Hope all goes well for both of you.

Thinking of you both and wishing you all the best Em , take care 💙❤️

Good to hear the investigations go on, with hopefully some further treatment possible. 🤞🤞🤞 We' re all rooting for Simon and you, Em.

Em, I will be thinking about you both and hope it all goes smoothly ❤️

Fingers crossed for both of you. Never give up & hope for more treatment with a positive outcome. 🤞

All the best Em'.

Stay strong.

I didn't get the pictures Em but not sure I'm looking in the right places! Any thoughts?

Thank you for the gorgeous pictures. They have got so big already. And well done on the training. Such good boys and girls.

Beth has sent me new pictures. I'll send them to the bcc group I have set up. 😊

Kat, almost the first words they ever heard were, 'Be quick!' as I plonked them on their training pads. It didn't work! I could do it with one, but when they suddenly stop and park themselves, I can't get the cage door open, fight my way in and grab them in time. Generally they do use them, but they are still a bit young. Indi was 8 weeks when I got her and it took another 4 weeks before she got the idea. I used to be out of bed, pyjamas and trainers on (stop laughing!), sneak out to the cage and she was always awake, sitting quietly waiting for me. Trying to get the crate open, get her across the lounge and hall, get the patio door open and get her outside before the puddle appeared... well, it took a long time.

I would also love to see photos of all those lovely pups, I love dogs and wish we could have one, could not afford to and don't think my OH or our 2 cats would be happy about it.

#Beth. You seem to be a born dog trainer. Now, when you were using hundreds of puppy training pads why didn't you think to put the pups on them & say 'Puppies ....' I'm sure you get my drift! They are really quick on the uptake though Beth & anyone taking one of them has a real head start thanks to your dedication. 🐾🐾🐾🐾

Well done to you Beth it sounds as if you are going a great job and getting exhausted in the process !

I sent some pictures to Em of the puppies running round in the garden, but haven't heard if they arrived or not. Em? I have a few today and yesterday (puppies asleep by the front of the cage, with Woody's paw hanging into the water bowl, while he is quite oblivious, fllcking it occasionally... I wilol try and get a 'Group Sit' but I don't have a super-speed camera! Training them is the fun time, when you really see their characters and brains developing. I have worked very hard to get to this point and it's my fun time!

🙋‍♀️Me too.

And a ditto from me....please!

We should get you to train the youth of today too Beth! I'm with samandi and Jaffa and would love to see photos too. I didn't see them as new puppies but would still like to see them before they head off to pastures new.

And that's also a ditto from me!

Ditto!

Ditto samandi

Can we have some pics before they go please?

I’m with Em on this as I would love to take one but just can’t afford too. Hope they all find good homes.

Well done puppies! They obviously take after their mother.

I so wish that I could offer to buy one. How many definitely have homes?

Great news that the puppies are biddable. Where would we be without a pocketful of treats. 😂
