Happy New Year to the Elite from me too! (One of Zag's lurkers!)
I have been awake since 4am :mad: worrying about work and DD on her trip to Thailand.
I am currently conducting Facebook 'conversations' (Complaints) with several companies: DD taxi did not collect her from the airport in Bangkok!, Return of dodgy teapot, Starbucks (No freebies with gift card!). It's exhausting! :mad:
Not much sale shopping. We were going to Cheshire Oaks on the way back from Liverpool, as we need to put DM's flat on the market, but I think we will go next weekend..........:( Can't understand why I am finding it all so difficult and upsetting. We didn't get on. (tweets, I admire the way you handle your Mum situations!).
Annual tradition of a late night dogwalk along the canal tow path into Birmingham for hot chocolate. Cafe Rouge wouldn't let us sit outside with the doggies last year, so Carluccios this year! Sadly one doggy missing, so we will raise a toast to him. :A
I sound like a Grumpy Old Woman!........ New Years Resolution to be more Zen? (Need to choose something I can keep for longer than 5 mins :rotfl:).
Happy New Year! HE x
Good Morning House Elf
Are you having trouble with work ?
Hope DD trip to Thailand is a good one.
Intrigued about dodgy teapot I have visions of water all over when trying to pour tea out
I have got to know mums ways . She would be completely different if you say visited with me or if one of neighbours visits while I am there.
Hot Choc walk sounds lovely RIP doggy :A0 -
Good morning
Hope everyone is well.
Both my boys slept in till gone 8am this morning :j, I'm feeling as fresh as a daisy
Love this! I hate New Years anyway, paying an obscene amount to get in a club/pub, queuing 20 minutes for a drink, waiting half the night for a taxi then getting charged twice as much as usual. The expectation is always huge then the actual night feels like a let down.
No thank you!
Me and my beautiful bunch are going out for a game of bowling, a nice meal somewhere then home for quality family time (and probably more food) I'll dig out some fizz for me and the hubby then toast in the new year with him.
Perfect :beer:Life is not about learning to avoid the storms - it's about learning to dance in the rain.0 -

My resolution is to try and post more, i'm rubbish with glitches but I can at least say hello every now and again.0 -
Good morning all, lovely blue sky here
Started reading back from last night then decided to do some skipping instead.
Collecting my new lappie today, had it delivered to Argos by Ebay so I didn't have to hang around. The annoying thing is it was delivered there at 13:25, I could have collected it in town, but did not get the code until 17:45 :eek:What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -

A variety of visions of House Elf's teapot, wonder just what was wrong with it?! Hope customer care get it sorted.
