Afternoon all

Luke's dentist phoned in sick this morning so they had to rearrange his appointment for next week! Great then I have Luke complaining it's too close to christmas

The fog has really come down here in the last hour and we can't see the bottom of the garden now

Suppose I better go and frighten the landing carpet and clean the bathroom been as were having Lizzie's b/f for tea

Thanks LS I'll go and see

Afternoon Dogsey

Well, I've walked Max, been into the office for the morning and then done two hours of walking client's dogs so am just having a cup of coffee and a catch up on Dogsey.

Hope everyone's day is going well

Jane (Majuka) and I have started a business and I'm shipping container loads of the stuff to her in England I'm sure we could divert one to you

Hello You Yes, please concentrate on Christmas Cards tonight - the other 2 might be better behaved without you giving them ideas!!! Or not as the case might be!! Yep, I've surprised myself today there Linda, especially as I haven't got Dave around to keep an eye out for me Mind you, tonight could be the time, when for some strange reason I have to actually go out with Zena right up to the top of those steps out the back before she'll oblige me with a poop on the gravel up there. Frosty, slippery steps, pitch black (no street lights here), could well be death by slippers if I don't remember to change shoes first!!! Don't laugh, but the other night, there I was standing up there, jim jams, dressing gown, slippers and an umberella in the pouring rain telling her to hurry up

Hi again Jenny, it's good to have a laugh in here isn't it, even at my expense sometimes!

In case you didn't find that thread:
Secret Santa Arrivals

See you later then if you dare!

Hi Debbie (I think I've seen you once already?). I hate it when they breathe like that, I'm always watching how Zena is breathing when she's lying on the floor in the lounge and Dave always thinks I've lost the plot, but it's such a good way to tell whether they're relaxed and pain free isn't it, so I'm glad you mentioned about that breathing there. I hope she recovers well Debbie, and I'm sure you're doing everything you can to make that so. Good luck with that phone call, don't take anything to heart.xxx

Afternoon Taffsmum Glad someone's sober around here in this thread, it's quite unusual as the day goes on here! Sorry to hear you had a bit of a waste of time with that shopping trip and got so cold. You don't have much luck with your shopping do you, I remember the last time you went down for some buttons and came back with a pair of bootlaces for o/h didn't you?? Maybe I dreamed it lol! Husband never do Christmas cards, it's not manly, allegedly!

Hi again Sal Oh that's pretty unfair on Luke isn't it I'm actually on his side with this, all that Christmas food and he'll be sat there wondering what it's safe to eat! Can't you ring them and insist they fit him in again this week, afterall, it's not your fault the dentist is sick is it, and you would have thought today's appts would have priority over even tomorrows! Grrrr. Now you're in the mood to scare that landing carpet lol! Enjoy tea-time.

Afternoon Jane Busy day again today then, that walking takes far more out of us than any amount of paper pushing doesn't it! Have you got big hills to climb too up there? Not good Jane, not good

Lol H, you've got far too much ironing to even consider doing any snow sales on the side!

Good afternoon all.
What a cold day it's been here
The tree still isn't up, too many interruptions and a rather prolonged "Nanny Nap" Maybe tomorrow!
Keep warm everyone.

Wot? Still no tree Jen I blame that Pepsi, she has to be involved somewhere, especially when you mention the word "interruptions" I had the same this morning when I was trying to do a bit of housework, she only allowed me the one hour in which to do it! Yes, it's very white out there here too, but I've just seen the forecast and I think you're in for another 50 mms of rain come Thursday, which of course, you and me both need like a hole in the head don't we, and what if it freezes Glad you managed a good nanny nap there though, but then she'd let you do that wouldn't she!!!

YES YES YES

Please, pretty please, will you divert one [or more] to me please only most people here have never seen snow and I could make a fortune charging for viewing...

...even more if I let them actually touch it!

Phew, what an afternoon, but am back now and sat down with a cuppa and some biccies. Next thing on the agenda is the girlies and babies teas. Just looked out and they are all 3 of them sat there looking at the kitchen window. No babies can be seen so fingers crossed no Escapees today. Checked before I went out and Eldest Son is here now and he checked when he came in as well. The very fact that all 3 girlies are sat together raises Hope In My Heart that hatchets have been buried and no handbags will be raised in anger over the babies. Apparently Mabs has been in with them this afternoon,closely supervised by Cariad at first but then Cariad left her with them, so progress being made on the Fraternisation side of things, always providing she hasn't eaten them of course, she does like to chew stuff
Little Grey Girl has been Named, she is to be called Sasha, got an email today thanking me for the new piccies of her and giving me her name, so that is 2 of them named. Little Grey Boy has a choice of many names, they have a whole list of them, but not come down on a specific one as yet. My Little Girl is Little Girl with No Name still, but I was like that with her Posh Name, I will find the right name, I will know it when I see it
Very cold here they are saying -5 tonight
