Good evening aw thanks velvet, it has been one of my best adventures yet and certainly the most fun, heartwarming and magical one I hope you're good at gift wrapping  

yogi i hope you are enjoying the jungle final 

Hi Summer.

Worst series of IAC ever. Blatant manipulation by the producers to push their desired winner. 

i'm so pleased you enjoyed the final day of the snowdogs and well done again on finding all of them.

Goodnight and sweet dreams Velvet, Summer and Ros.

Tomorrow's front pages will be interesting then  

sweet dreams yogi

so true yogi -disgusting result

night yogi summer velvetyogi your family sound lovely

An early Moin!

i seem to be back in the non delirious land of the living!

Good morning everyone

Hazy sunshine here, cold and frosty. Clouding over later and forecast to be noticeably warmer tomorrow.

Summer, well done on seeing Aerodog at last to complete your collection. I think I can guess which of them in your picture is Aerodog

GJ, welcome back to the land of the relatively compos mentis land of the living

I hope everyone has a good day

I still don't feel 100% but have so much to do!

Hope you are all well and have a good day!

Good morning everyone, glad you are feeling better GJ. It's very cloudy but it looks as though the sun is trying to shine through.

I will catch up with Celebrity Jungle later on but I have enjoyed the series.  I thought they were a lovely lot this year, they were like a family and got on so well.  They did well in all the trials they took part in.  It was a treat for me to see so much laughter and no back-stabbing.  Oh well we all do have different opinions I suppose.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good afternoon a beautiful frosty morning here today I hope you're all warm & cosy 

GI, I hope you don't have to do anything too strenous if you aren't 100% yet.

I can't really comment on jungle matters as I din't see any of it

Afternoon all 

It has been freezing (literally) and foggy all day but I am warm and cosy, Summer.

El, would you like to send me some of your hazy sunshine please?

Squiggle, it would be pretty boring if we all liked the same thing.  

It was the pushing of Scarlett by the producers which got on my wick.

Take it easy Joe until you are back on form.

Yogi, it's sunset here now but there's some rosy clouds though not as many as this:

That's so pretty, El. 

I took a similar pic a couple of weeks ago. It was early morning and the sky was beautiful.

Velvet, I hope your sleep pattern returns to normal very soon.

I've got PB and BB tomorrow so I'm going to try to have an early night.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet .

Night owl hugs for Summer and Ros.

Sorry to have just missed you yogi have a wonderful day tomorrow sweet dreams  

I'm turning in early too, all this socialising has made me weary sweet dreams velvet, Ros & one for moonie

night yogi summer velvet and moons

A day for housework and writing Christmas cards! Have a good day everyone!

Good morning everyone

Cloudy and a bit foggy here.

Thanks, Velvet  - I'm nearing the end of the big one

Yogi, I hope you have a good day with PB and BB

GJ, you are an early bird this morning

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, definitely very grey today, I think it will be all week.  The green woodpecker is back, fascinating to see him sticking his long beak deep into the lawn. He's usually here for the day, he keeps coming and going.

Well done on nearing the end of that huge job EL, be nice to have that out of the way.

Enjoy your day everyone

Thanks, Squiggle. As you say it will be nice to have dealt with the huge job. It's been an exceptionally busy year for that client - about 40% larger than the previous year though the current year will be back to more normal levels. The result was that the accounts staff were later than usual for me to have been able to make a start and there's been that much more for me to go through. I'm a week behind where I had wanted to be at but that's because of them rather than me.

Of course my fee will be higher than last time as more work and the client has already agreed to that

I think it rather unlikely I'll get to see a woodpecker here, you are lucky.

Good morning grey and damp here, rather miserable. The Xmas tv times is out though so I'm excited to see what's on tv over the festive season  

are you all better now joe? 

el, well done on completing your big job again, I'm glad they've had a successful year  

Thanks Summer

It's grey and damp here as well though the dampness is caused by the foggy (not thick) conditions rather than any rain.

I'm seeing the directors of the huge job tomorrow afternoon so it's just about complete

The "Human Swan" has arrived in England. This was on BBC Breakfast today:

I hope @Moonie is able to see this. You probably have seen that his health problems are continuing and doesn't expect to be back here much before the New Year

EL would you share it in Moonie's 'sorry' thread do you think in case that's the only thread he looks in?

Evening all.

El, I'm glad the big job is almost finished and that your extra work will be rewarded.

Squiggle, I have green woodpecker envy. You are very lucky to see such wonderful birds and wildlife in your area.

Summer, the weather here was grey with light rain too.

Joe, I hope you got your cards done. I need to make a start on mine!

PB had a great time decorating my Christmas tree - BB lost interest when he realised he couldn't eat the decorations.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. Hugs for the night owls.

*night owls* sorry to have just missed you Ros, sweet dreams

I've been watching the snowdogs auction live on you tube, and am pleased to announce they've raised £259,000 tonight!!!!! all proceeds go to st oswalds children's hospice. 

The grand total will be higher too because of donations & merchandise sales throughout the course of the trail. That's wonderful  

Good morning everyone

Cloudy and mild here today.

Squiggle, I've posted the human swan video on Moonie's thread.

Yogi, I'm glad PB enjoyed decorating your Christmas tree

Summer, that's a fantastic result for the hospice

There's a series starting tonight at 20.00 on Channel 4 - Kirstie's Handmade Christmas - sounds like the perfect programme for you.

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone, a bit breezier this morning. Well done EL I hope Moonie enjoys that clip.

What a fantastic amount of money for the hospice Summer. I think you're right EL Summer should enjoy that programme tonight.

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning all 

Weather is damp and grey.

El, I hope Moonie sees the swan lady clip.

Summer, that was a brilliant amount the snowdogs raised for the hospice

Put and about today, have a good day everyone.

Squiggle and Yogi, I did put an @ Moonie notification on my human swan post in the hope that Moonie gets an email notification about it though that depends on his forum notification settings.

All systems go for my meeting this afternoon with the directors

I'm back from a successful meeting with the directors

Thanks Velvet

Hope all are fine and on schedule   

All is well, Velvet.

Guess who conked out on the couch for two hours this afternoon?

Several nights of disturbed sleep caught up with me.

Goodnight and sweet dreams, everyone. Hugs for the night owls.
