I think we should all dress up as dogs and go stay with LW for a week at a time.. lol..

First batch of christmas presents readied to post.. I have tried to get lots of handmade/small business items again this year.. they cost a bit more but supporting these people is a big deal to me.

Off upstairs to get out my christmas decs while Twinkle snoozes! .. I have 30 minutes before having to go get Dot from school.. the other 2 have after school clubs!

I have filled a wash basket with dirty stuff and put a bag of recycling out.. I am so very lazy today! It is just too cold to do anything I think.. working up a sweat moving boxes about is just what I need.

Ah, but can you cope with a bed on the kitchen floor, a diet of R0yal C4nin and C£sar, and being sent out in the garden last thing at night to do a wee? :rotfl:

yes.. but if you feed me meat you won't like what you're cleaning up.. I need steamed fish and rice.. thanks..

LameWolf

Ok, I can do steamed fish and rice - I used to do that for Penny-Dog; but you still have to go to the garden for a wee before bed.

Daisy has found her Inner Puppy; we got back from her walk a little while ago and she decided a game with her rather ancient and well-loved raggy toy was in order.

Mr LW has requested veggie sausages and roasties for dins, so he's been sent to the kitchen to prep the spuds.

That's fine... how do you know I don't anyway.. .. I need you to come with me though, just in case THEM are looking.. you know THEM.. that live in the garden in the dark and they look at you.. *SHUDDER* Super scary!!!

LameWolf

But of course, Piggers. I wouldn't let my guests go trundling off in the dark unsupervised.
Btw, are you any good at scaring squirrels?

Talking of going down the garden to wee - the ex used to wee on the compost heap if he was outside - too lazy to come indoors and go upstairs to the bathroom.:eek:

the enzymes in urine are supposed to be very good for breaking down compost heaps.. he did you a favour!!

And yes.. I can scare squirrels, hardened criminals and the postman!

I'm still not 100%, feeling mostly better, but had a persistant headache all day.
Managed a good productive day at work, so that's something I guess.

Not tackled any of the lists, but I'm focusing on keeping the kitchen sparkling at the moment. Things are put away/washed/in the DW as soon as used. I am keeping the counters clear & swished.
I'm slowly doing the same in other rooms, BF doesn't fold the dogs blanket before bedtime or remove his dirty cup off the coffee table, which bugs me, but I do a quick patrol in the morning while I open curtains etc and it takes no more than 5 minutes to straighten all the rooms up.
