This is a post & run... as am dashing off to work shortly (yeah, on a Saturday - how dedicated am I? ) But... just running through a load of stuff emailed to me by my Director to nay or yay for the new office (we are relocating)... and its tea & toilets kinda stuff.. quite literally.. got onto mugs... I had said my preference was for bone china (what can I say? I like to drink out of thin...

Weather been hot... Has started off a little cloudy and a little cooler today (20C) booooo!
Hope you all had a good Christmas - we snorkelled with butterfly and parrot fish on Christmas...
For those of you that haven't seen me wailing & moping about on FB, witnessed me getting maudlin & drunk this evening over a chicken... I found Buttercup dead this morning He was in his man cave ... just slumped. No evidence of any injury or illness. Just dead! Tomorrow we are giving him a viking funeral pyre type send off... (I have stashed his little fluffy body somewhere safe away from anything that...
... He's now THE Daddy!!! after a few false starts (silkie hens are seriously bad mothers... there have been 2 or 3 chicks hatch this year, none had survived the first day) I went into work yesterday morning to discover 11...
Fought it hard though.. right til the end. The actual ACTUAL end (cos there have been quite a few dress rehearsals in the last 6 weeks) was miraculously peaceful... so peaceful that the first I knew was my brother on the phone...

Well.... we got him! he's really lovely! thought he was 4 monthd old (and tbh, was thinking "if the breeder thinks this is exceptionally bright I have to wonder what sort of dogs she has previously had in her life".....
Re: AJ.. my beautiful, fantastic baby boy of a dog Despite him getting better, and the meds working.. he suddenly started rejecting the meds and then his kidneys started going.. and the he ruptured his crucible...

Lets all feed each others addictions in here then! I will start.. My name is Ditty, I was obviously a magpie in a former life, I am a nail art addict This addiction replaces my former (less productive & waaaay less glittery addiction to watching Big Brother)
Ok... so we are trying to decide what to do NYE.... It has been suggested we get a new board game... We have already veto'd Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble, Balderdash, Cranium, Cluedo & Trivial Pursuits... anyone got any recommendations? (4 players, aged 15, 19, & two adults)
But a Merry Christmas thread from me too.... Have a good one everyone... I am just grabbing a quick 5 mins before I fly off again... AM SORTED THOUGH!!! Mahoosive mountain of Crispy...

well... not so much a rant as a disheartened grumble really... we need one! We really really need one! Mum cannot walk far... she cannot walk up stairs, or up slopes (they have just had a...
I have thought for some time I should do this thread, but was worried the minute I did things would start going wrong (tempting fate & all that). However, I am aware that loads of you are wondering how its going, but don't like to ask... Unbelievably... she's really really well at the moment! In fact she feels better than she has in a decade! She's on her fourth cycle of chemo, and apart from one blip where she had a rash & they had to...
Re: New series of Dallas, starting on Channel 5, 9pm, Wednesday 5th September! I know, I know.. 6 days early & all that! BUT I AM SOOOOO EXCITED! Normally I would be dreading next Wednesday (first day of term for the boy... no more leisurely mornings, back to the grind of the breakfast chaos, the A12 school runs, & arguments about bedtimes, getting up times, muddy school trousers & lost ties)... but Dallas...
OK... so I don't like the task, and I definitely didn't like the narna eating or the groping of the cherub... but there are so many bits I have loved so far... Danica's rant (it was amazing!! I loved it.. we...
til the last two! Never before has a finals night gone so nearly perfect in running order for me! Its usually me fave out first, so then I have to pick a new winner which is then the kiss of death to that hm & they are booted... right til the end when there is a major injustice and the winner is announced! Am happy with tonight's result.. would have been perfect if Adam had won it & Luke A had been second.. but overall..

Ickle is having a Glandular Fever relapse (yeah I know... tis a nightmare, 13 days before her exam as well)... Anyway... her tonsil is in a right state. She took a pic of it. Though pretty ill.. she is quite proud of how manky her tonsil...
ello... Wondering if anyone had any first or second hand knowledge of Cyclosporin. AJ (my dog) has just been put on it. As most of you know he was being treated with steroids for IMPA (immuno mediated poly arthritis). He's been doing really well on them, whilst on them, but we have failed 3 times to reduce his dose (it just keeps coming back), and as they then have to whack his dose up even higher its become unsustainable (his liver has become enlarged, which is a sign he could go on to...
I am sooo excited... the film is out today! I am off to see it tomorrow with daughter & husband (belated Mothers Day pressie)... Loved the books... the film looks like it has potential! My only concern is over what they had to cut out to get it a 12 certificate. Whilst I am a complete pussy when it comes to blood & guts, the violence in this story is vital to the storyline... hope they...
I'm all excited.. and preparing myself for my usual "kiss of death" talent/reality show disappointment! I want A Team to win! Failing that... Prodijig, or a couple of the other street crews I suppose. I have a...

He's still trying it on... but now I know its an Alpha thing I am handling him quite well. If he were a dog I would say its a game he's playing. He still makes a beeline for me.. but when he comes at me...
Ok... not "my" Rooster... my bosses Rooster. Or Cockerel if you prefer. I have set the poll so you can select as many answers as you like... If you all go tick box mad I will...
I look after my bosses chickens at work... all the regular ones love me... I am especially close to 3 of the hens, & one old cockeral (called Dave)... the others like me too (cos I am the one that gives them their corn & tucks them into the coop at night). However, at christmas the boss bought his missus 2 silkie hens & a silkie cockeral... Pic of Silkie cockeral - The pic doesn't show it, but they are very...
They've only been in there a couple of weeks.. I mean I do get the whole happy tears thing (now)... But most of them will have had holidays away from their families & kids that are longer than that. When MrD & I were on honeymoon in the Maldives for 2 weeks... we phoned the kids at my parents a couple of times... I didn't cry... I didn't even want to cry... Mind you... the main news my daughter had for...
As its quiet on here this morning... and as I am trying to put off doing housework & going to tesco.. thought I would tell you about my dog. (some of you will already have seen my exuberant rantings all over FB & the ship yesterday... you are excused from this thread ) So... I (and the rest of my family) have been in bits for the last four months. Our beloved dog AJ seemed to age overnight... and since then he has got...
I think perhaps I have a twin thing going on cos I have like all of the twins that have gone on BB... I liked Samanda... I lurved Jedward... and I like these two so far as well... Not ready to...

well thats the way I am interpreting it anyway... Got a letter from his school today... addressed to MrD & I, I sat down thinking "oh gawd... what's he done".. (he's 14 yrs old btw) Opened it & its from the head of beliefs & ethics (aka RE) at his school.. It said... " I am writing to congratulate Alfie for a really excellent piece of writing in his end of topic assignment. Last term we studied the Holocaust &...
We can't have a tree this year... we really just can't. Tinsel round the mantlepiece is looking out of the question too. I don't even think we can have a place to pile up the pretty wrapped pressies! I do love the...
if you use the promo code VIPEVENT MrD just treated me to some new jim jams & slipper boots & some other bits n bobs (I suppose I should really have bought the kids something... but I have man flu & right now new jim jams & slippers are a medicinal neeeed!)
I never post news stories... but this has made me laugh so much... There's a vid of it if you click on the link... but I have C&P'd the main story.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-15611160 Oban display hitch sets fireworks off at once A technical hitch at the annual Oban bonfire night display set off thousands of pounds worth of fireworks within a minute. The show, organised by Oban and Lorn Lions, was expected to last about half...
