In which we get treated like babies. By Bessie

So we finally got our business account open but we still can't use our paypal cos they blocked our account cos we might be money laundering (with £2000?  I'd go for a bit more than that.  if I'm going to prison then best make it worth the stretch).  Anyway we had to go through a series of security crap which has taken ages cos each step we have to wait for the information.  Now we have one more thing to do, send bank statement so hopefully the account will be open in the next few days.  Hope so cos Dufus needs a vet for his poorly toe.

Tom is going to Doncaster on Friday for the weekend for this assessment thingy.  Mummy will drive him there and then her and Katie are going to meet with Aunty Gilly, Sadie and Fudge and then spend the night in a hotel before they bring Tom back home on Saturday.  Then there's a walk on Sunday which we might go to in Stourhead.  We liked it there last time, that was where the humans had hot chocolate and Lotty made friends with a baby sheep.

Daddy has built banisters on the stairs, they're not finished yet but they look good so far.  Except we all laughed because they're covered in sticky tape.  We keep saying, "If Bryn made stairs.." cos they remind us of when he was going through his making things out of cardboard and tape phase.  

Apparently there's going to be some big changes around here.  Well, they've already started.   Mummy said our behaviour has become out of control and we need to be retrained, like puppies.  How rude.  So now we are forced to have at least two walks every day, no matter what the weather or if we want to just lie on the settee.   And she has stuck to it too.  We laughed when she said it cos we've heard it all before.  Especially when she said she was going to take us for a walk before bed.  We thought there is no way she will bother when it's cold and she's tired.  But 10.30 last night, we is all lay on the settee snoozing and Daddy was watching Match of the Day and Mummy suddenly jumps up and goes and puts her coat on and drags us off for a walk.  Actually it was fun walking in the dark.  We didn't have to keep standing in the hedge while a car zoomed past like we do in the day and we saw a frog.  Mummy gets so cross, it's always the idiots going to the golf club or the riding school who race through the village.   Not the village people, they are the nice ones who slow down and wave.   I bet she regrets making us walk so much now.  We were walking past the golf club and Carly stuck her head through a fence and wiped it on this log.  Unfortunately there was a giant fox poo on the log.   So Carly had a baff when we got back.  She still stinks though.  That stuff is evil.

Also she said the barking while she is making dinner is very annoying. So this morning she was making our foodies and Tom came in to help and I started talking and she said that was cute, she likes the talking.  But then I started talking loud and she said no, that's not cute anymore and her and Tom stopped putting food in the bowls and they just stood there like statues.  So I stopped barking and they carried on.  It took forever to make the foodies,  it was very annoying and POINTLESS.

Tom is going to his friend Josh's house later.  Katie said what time is he going cos we've got no food in the house.  Mummy said she couldn't go and ask Josh for food.  Katie said she didn't want to, she wants to go to Tesco but Mummy said she wasn't going til four.  Katie said she would be dead by then.  Mummy said she can't be that hungry cos there's loads of food in the house.  We have cheese and bean pasties, quiche, falafels, left over lasagne, snossijs and a great big chikkin in the slow cooker.   Apparently none of these are thngs that Katie would like to eat.  We don't know what she actually would like to eat though.  I don't think she does either.
