  • Omo meant to say with Mia if she has any jumpy friends get stronghold or advantage from the vets, avoid frontline at all costs it completely usesless! We used to get our puppy beds, but he just eats them so he has red fleece blankets that we can just chuck in the wash. Easy to move of an evening then too. Indie isnt allowed in the lounge unattended as he js a monkey, never forget the day he was 5mths old and I came into the lounge to find an exploded bean bag one end and a very innocent supposedly sleeping puppy the other end with a white bean bag ball moustache! :rotfl:

    I have got mine a fitbit flex, exercise tracking thingy, he has been looking at them and as he doesn't really need anything else I managed to win him a brand new one from ebay today for £50.
    Have sorted out the top of the wardrobe and am really pleased. All big presents done, just stocking filler bits to get for eldest ds, and granddaughter, nephews x2, niece x1, and 2 close friends children to buy for! Might get OH a new outfit too. Now to choose the wrapping paper

    I was hoping i'd beable to get hold of the fitbit force (which has the watch and phone notifications on too) but don't think its going to be released in uk yet. boo.

    Just remembered when i was walking around tescos this morning i saw the two stag cushions and it instantly had me thinking of here lol Have found the perfect xmas jumper for my dh! 'bah hum bug!'

    What a terrible end to a great day, choccymoose. I was all happy for you about finding the gift vouchers, then I read the second bit. So pleased everyone is ok, if a bit shaken up.

    In Stroud with my mum now. Been to collect our Christmas jumpers in town. :) Off to visit friends tomorrow in Gloucester as mum is working at some firework display. Hope everyone has a good weekend. :)

    Hello, hello, hello! My goodness I've not been able to post in here for about a week, have thought about you all though! :)

    Well, due to the storm we couldn't go down to London after all on Monday! So no Harrods or Covent Garden for me and no piccys for you guys! :( ..still, me and my friend decided to stay in MK for the day and had a lovely day shopping and went to pizza hut for lunch :)

    I hope you're all well and doing well with your Christmas shopping! I can't believe it's November already! I just checked through my spreadsheet and wrote an updated "still to buy" list and I don't have too much left to get now. This is the most organised I've ever been, so thank you to you all for keeping me on track :)

    Not 100% sure of my weekend plans as of yet, but hopefully I'll be able to pick up one or two things to tick off my list. *sending Christmas cheer to you all!*
