A certain Springer Spaniel has a bellyache this evening. I am soooooooo sympathetic

I did have animal SS goodies but my horrid dogs this morning stole six packs of Whiskas cat treats and four tripe filled rawhides :angry: :angry: Father Christmas will not be visiting them.

I'm unsure of what Royal Mail suggest final posting dates are, just make sure they arrive in plenty of time. I've bought my animal SS stuff but not hooman yet.

I have taken my girls out to buy their advent calenders They bought Chtistmas cards too and are now as quiet as mice sat down writing them all. I bought a pack of ten cards, I have so few friends & family there'll be some left over for next year

I'm going to vote for Misha tonight because I think she needs it. Little Mix impressed me and I never thought I'd be saying that

I think I've sent all the emails out. Let me know if I've forgotten you.

Last chance to enter for Fugee Secret Santa Wrapping paper stocks have been replenished so I wrapped up more presents this afternoon. I've nearly got everyfink. I am so impressed with me

I'm not going to start matching folks up until tomorrow morning so feel free to make any last minute entries. I'm almost done my human Christmas shopping so I'm really looking forward to this

If you need a laugh this morning, I suggest you read this interview with Nancy Nutter

The electronic thingy must be similar because that's got nicotine in. The cartridges have nicotine in, that's why he was so miserable when they ran out. He's been to the cemetary twice today and for reasons unknown he's not talking to me

He's been doing well all week with an electronic cigarette but hadn't realised how quickly he'd get through the cartridges and is waiting for more to arrive in the post. My fault of course

Anyone building a patio this weekend? I may need to hide a 5ft 10ins body He made his billionth attempt to give up smoking last week. As usual, it made him hell on Earth to live with. Nothing I say or do is right and he's quick to point out my inadequacies Take this conversation we had yesterday, regarding school photos and the photo shoot I had booked yesterday for a nice group photo of the girls: Him: Are you buying Georgia & Emilys individual school photos? Me: I doubt it. They're nice but expensive and I'll wait until I see the group photo from today before deciding. Him: But Georgia & Emilys ones are really nice. Me: I know, but we can't afford them all. Him: They would've made nice Christmas presents for Mother & Grandmother. Me: So will the group one. I'll buy all three if you want me to. Him: Don't be stupid woman! That'll cost a fortune! Trust you to waste money! Today I'm saying nuffink at all

In all fairness it should be Johnny who comes back. The Risk got the fewest public votes, that's unquestionable.

It's from a Charlaine Harris book, Eric buys Sookie a new driveway and a cranberry coloured coat with tortoishell buttons But now you mention it, yes I would like a driveway. I am incapable of looking at a gravel driveway without thinking of that book

I've just cried throughout all of that too My numpty of the day award goes to British Gas. Ian called them last week to let them know Alan had died and we wanted his account switched to Ians name & gave them his bank details. So guess who the two letters from them today were addressed to? Yep, Mr A Hazell, confirming his new bank details

Am I right in thinking that when Brendans dad died and he had a week off, Ian Waite came back to dance with his partner for a week? Or bring back Matthew Cutler! He was rather nice to look at too

Linky Cor blimey that's an injury and a half! He shouldn't risk his long term health just to dance on Saturday. I'm more than happy to watch Brendan again

Georgia is FURIOUS!

I'm feeling rather grotty and would rather curl up in the warm than venture out to the fireworks display with the girls, Daisys friend Kezia, Mr Hazell, his brother & wife. But it's an excuse to wear my koala hat and Aunty Kat is bringing sausages made from the piggies on the farm where she works I've been listening to The Vampire Diaries soundtrack whilst ironing and will turn it up loud while we're out. The dogs don't really mind fireworks but just incase I'm drowning out the sound.

I too am lucky that none of the animals are bothered by the fireworks. Nancy even sat by the window watching some! Rory couldn't be bothered to wake up
