    Am I last?

    Been oh so busy, have done the food shop and gone over budget - oops...the half price prosecco leapt into my trolley, followed by it's friends - honest...

    Other than that have been on a pub crawl on the horse, perhaps crawl is not the correct term, pub gallop perhaps? ensured the cider has been well shook up :rotfl:Have spent a tenner on the kitty for the ride, but well worth it!

    dearest andan, hope you feel better, it's a horrid time to have a lurgy

    Did wonder what had happened to you today piq? Thought it was quieter than usual!! Am chasing the lurgy away with my snowball drinks, a Christmas tradition!

    Aww Tallie, shame you are working tomorrow, hope the Christmas you have is a great one and i especially hope you enjoyed your pressies.At least you have the flat for your motivation and am sure you can do it, especially as you raise so much for these things and we are all here if you need any help or support.

    Its great to be a part of such a loving and caring community.

    Me too, I had a little tear because a little girl had wrapped a carrot up for my horse and then very carefully helped him unwrap it (translation - stopped him eating the paper)

    I even weep at Babe and the first Shrek film and don't even start me on the the film where two dogs and cat make a long journey home......
