    Birthday wishes to Pigpen!
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

  • Thanks OMO for all your hard work last year and starting this years. Hope Santa was good to everyone. I was very spoiled and had a fab day but had a bad start to today. One of our lovely huge fish in our pond was on the grass this morning half eaten. I then found that another two had gone. We have had them for about 12 years so really upset. We have a net to stop the Heron so think we may have an otter or a mink. We are going to stay up all night to see if they come back. We had been so worried about moving the fish when we move in the future but it looks like we may have no fish to move. I am so worried about the other 9.
    Well take care.

    Don't tempt me OMO but I won't hurt them. If we find out who it is at least we can try to protect the fish. If it's the cat from a couple of doors down my Husband is going to go to them to tell them to keep their cat in at night!!!!!

    thanks for a new thread omo. very exciting and we really apppreciate all your work.
    my birthday 4th april

    well ive made a good start on christmas next year. bought wrapping paper cards and crackers and have also done a big boots shop online so have 70 pounds worth of stuff (£140 normal price) so thats my presents for my kids started. very worried that they will arrive on the two days that im away but said to leave with a neighbour.
    been a very sad christmas in one way but better than i could have imagined we would get. dd2 ( the escapee) came to sleep xmas eve and stayed for christmas dinner. as i said very sad as she was grey and dirty and im sure that she has mental health issues. i fed her up and washed her clothes and she looked better when i took her back. of course i cried all the way home. my darling darling daughter :( then dd1 came to sleep christmas day night ( and had christ.mas dinner with us) and they have just left for home so of course ive been crying all after noon. couple that with a 1 min spat with my oh just because im so upset really he had done nothing. we never argue. hes a brilliant dad and tried so hard for the kids this christmas making an extra effort to see that dd2 has all she needs and letting her know he loved her. ( in his man way lol) im just so up and down. anyway. little man has gone up to play with his new disney game and dh asleep so ive made a start with christmas shopping for next year.
    love the fact we have a new christmas thread.
    will check in again tomorrow

  • Thanks for the new thread OMO - also loving the title. Was this the one you picked ages ago?

    Happy birthday Pigpen, hope you get some time to yourself today!

    And Merry Boxing Day to everyone else. :D

    Had a lovely Christmas, the day itself was a bit strange, being the first since we moved out - and I had dinner at my OHs for the first time - which was an experience. Anyway, when we got home he proposed so a lovely ending to the day :D

    I don't really do NYR, as I'm so busy at work in January, my new year starts in February, so I'll have a think on those for now.
