merledogs Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Griff - some people are so bluddy inconsiderate - either that or they're thick, or possibly both I have had a bit of a manic day today. Got sent out on an errand at lunchtime (less said about that the better), so I decided to take my time and went to Morrisons and do my shopping. I was just going to get some mince as the butcher was putting out several packs of lamb bones, so I snaffled the lot for the dogs. The boys can be a bit fussy about raw meat sometimes, so I didn't know if they'd eat them or not, but as soon as I waved them in their direction, the bones were snatched and taken away to be eaten away from prying eyes The rest of the bones are in the freezer. I bought some pigs' trotters last time I was in Mozzas, which I am saving for Christmas day. They are going to be spoiled over the holidays cos they've got knucklebones as well Anyway, after zooming round like a loon doing shopping, I then left early cos I had to pick up a prescription and post my secret santas. I couldn't get parked at the post office, so I parked on my drive and walked back up (it's only a few hundred yards away at the top of the road). What I didn't click was that parcel force had left a box for me at the post office and I had to carry it back to the house. Said box contained a 15 kilo sack of Arden Grange, so I ended up struggling home with that rather than go to the pharmacy. I then realised when I got home that the prescription I had been carrying in my grubby little mitt had been dropped, so I had to go back and look for it. Thankfully I found it in the middle of the road and went to the pharmacy (also at the top of the road) to get the prescription. Am ready for a rest now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Our last min change of plans for the Wales visit has paid off - it's snowing here and settling - if we'd stuck to the original plan we'd have still been in Wales now and panicking about getting back.

phoebejo Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Mr Hazell has seen snow in Oxford but there's still none here. I've cooked 50 sausage rolls in preparation for tomorrows party. Have consumed three already. Wonder how many will be left for the party? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndzrus Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 sleep tight Fudge and Gracie. Nice curtain Alex. I have problems with waking early too (And mostly on worknights too). I now read a book every time I wake. Within a few pages I am ready to drop off again. it also stops me worrying about being awake etc etc. Welcome Bob, you are a bit gorgeous Steph, coldsores are painful Thanks for the link to the tree Griff I hope you hear good news about the job soon Sam Phoebejo, that Asda trip sounds like hell. Went back to work today and survived, so only one more day till the weekend. Apparently there is a bit of an epidemic of these viruses here at the moment. Wish the cough would clear off though.

Trallwm farm Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Its snowing here and Santas little helpers/Midgets are in the yard with a layer of snow on them. Sigh... I guess they will need christmas names. What are the dwarves called in snow white ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I have problems with waking early too (And mostly on worknights too). I now read a book every time I wake. Within a few pages I am ready to drop off again. it also stops me worrying about being awake etc etc. Good idea, I have just started a new book and I am having trouble reading more than a page before I drop off, so definitely worth a try Glad your day went okay I have set the crate up in the living room for Max. Timmy ran straight into it and settled himself It's really weird, because Timmy won't go anywhere near the soft crate or the hidey hold where Max likes, under the coffee table in the corner, but he loves a crate with a blanket over Here's Max in his crate He's in there now having a kip.

Spins4me Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Just put the gas fire on - it must have taken the dogs about 2 seconds to realise and now I can't get near the fire for dogs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Can imagine that. Maybe next time you're cold grab one of the Spins for a cuddle instead. I'm off work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merledogs Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Morning. Had a decent night's sleep last night. I think I woke up at the same time but went back to sleep and woke up again at 5.45. Spins - mine love the fire as well, apart from Beau who has a big fluffy coat so finds it too hot. Timmy's the worst for it, as soon as I put the fire on he's on the bed in front of it, and if there isn't a bed, the floor will do I didn't have the heart to close Max in the crate last night, must be going soft in my old age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
