๐Ÿ˜„ I had similar problems a few year ago, the only solution was to get new appliances. One of them was a dishwasher.

I had a moan to the boss the other day, that it wasn't any fun not eagerly awaiting parcels. So she asked me why I wasn't getting parcels.. and I told her it was part of my new-found self-discipline of not buying new stuff till I painted some of the stuff I already had .

She clearly has my mental health at heart, and said that was silly if it was making me miserable.

So today this arrived.... 28mm horse for scale.

So now.. do I have to collect figures for Crete? Winter camouflage for some commando missions to a Schloss? Or an airborne assault in Norway?

A small dog. OK, the Baroness is actually paying for it, but it's.....cute. There, I said it. Despite not being a fan of small dogs.

Yes, I know what you mean - it's invariably the owner who's an arsehole. We went to see the woman who owns his mum last night, and all five of the pups seemed delightful.

(When I say I'm not a fan of small dogs, I find they tend to be over-indulged and yappy. And snappy - only ever been bitten by small dogs, both of which had been tormented by their owners' children.)

You need to bear in mind that lots of small breeds were intended as alarm dogs for people who couldn't have big dogs.
My son's dog will go ballistic at anyone who invades "her" territory but whines when the postman goes away without giving her a tickle.

We always had big dogs in SA. Angus was some 140 pounds in weight.

We now have spaniels. Iโ€™ve loved them all equally

Yes I saw him on FB yesterday, he looks grand!
I prefer big dogs, but don't really care...I've only ever been bitten when a dog was purposely set on me! Lurchers and Border Collies are my favourites, as I grew up with them, but we've ended up with mostly small ones at the moment!
