Everyone's been busy then?
We've taken down our decorations and the trees outside - well, I say it's outside, 50% of it stayed dug in to the carpet
All good fun!

[Wish Fairy 0]

Afternoon everyone ! :-)

[Zoonie 0]

Wish, have you let him in yet? :spiteful:

[Wish Fairy 0]

LMAO Gill !!!
Yep he's all warm by the Aga now - the kitchek carpet is soaked LOL.

How are you ??

[Zoonie 0]

Chilly, and got my gander up

I'm presently composing a letter of complaint to Boris Johnson in his capacity of Mayor of London (and therefore in charge of Transport for London) <--- it's going a bit like that so far!

[myladyyawo 0]

Good Morning everyone Gill, I saw your pictures on facebook and they were beautiful! I want snow now!

I see - to complain about New Year ? I should give him a blinkin' big flea in his ear if I were you !
And the blinking weather too - I mean, they have been saying for 2 weeks we are having coldest winter on record and nowhere here was gritted at all for the past 3 weeks - how ridiculous!

However, in Hants, I think that anyone who got stuck today deserved it. There was a severe weather warning - which we NEVER get. And still people travelled - for goodness sake. I know if I issued a warning, I'd like people to pay attention!! (I want my "roll eyes" smilie back please LOL)

Hi Sara - did we meet ?
How are you ?

I'm Wish / Sharon

ROFL - My dog has just gone sliding across the garden - he forgot about the snow and went to chase a bird - just pulled a handbreak turn and went on his bottom !!

[Zoonie 0]

About NYE but not about being stuck after missing the train, well, I guess I can add in the bit about the stupid policing which caused us to miss it even though we arrived 45 mins early.

Complaining about being charged £9.60 each for our £1.60 journey to the restaurant (return was free as all tubes are free 23.45hrs-04.30hrs on NYE) and to sit on the platform when they threw us out of the railway station (I guess they charged the max daily rate plus the same again as a fine?)

Anyway, am not happy about that.



Sara, happy new year honey, how are you doing? apart from snow-less...Wish and I would gift you some if we could

[Wish Fairy 0]

Yes for sure Sara - come and have some snow on us !! Gill and I have plenty !

you can tell which of the cats has long term outdoor experience here.

Dennis's tracks are very slow and measured, creeping like your traditional cautious cat on the prowl. Socks's are like Tigger on speed, bounding around like a lunatic

It's still snowing here!

[noviakiki 0]

Peeking in to say hello. Not feeling up to par so not staying long. How is everyone?

[myladyyawo 0]

lol Animals can be so funny in snowy weather!

Wish, I'm not sure if we've met yet hun I'm doing very well! It was supposed to snow today! I sure hope so! The only thing I don't like is how hard it is to get everything you need lol.

Gill, Happy new year to you too! Sorry about your transportation troubles!

Well nice to meet you. I guess you are used to snow in Canada not like the useless old UK huh ?

[Zoonie 0]

Happy New Year Novia, sorry you don't feel so good


Sara, oh it's been quite an adventure! Our eldest can't believe how long we stopped out - even she was home by half five on New Year's Eve rofl.

[Wish Fairy 0]

Gill - you must have LOADS of credibility points with E & YD's no ??

LOL. Glad you got home safely though !

[myladyyawo 0]

We've actually only had a total of 4 days of snow this year, and thats not in a row lol. We usually have so much more. We didn't even have a white Christmas! No matter how used to the snow us Canadians maybe lol it doesn't stop us from complaining about the cold when it does snow Although I would rather enjoy it right now. It could probably have something to do with the lack there of

[noviakiki 0]

Hi WF....Happy New Year. I have a cold and due to asthma and other lung issues it is always a bad time. I cough horribly all the time.

Happy New Year to you too Zoonie....I will be better in a month or so, lol. A cold is major for me with no immune system.

[myladyyawo 0]

Gill, how long do they predict it will last?

Noviakiki, My son also has Asthma and has an awful time in the winter with cold and such. It makes a normal cold so much worse Hope you feel better soon!

Oh Gosh only 4 days ? We have only 1 here in Hampshire and the whole place has ground to a stand still. I took a walk to the shops today to find that it was like the war - no bread, no milk etc LOL. I didn't need them thank goodness, but people are INSANE here in Uk for 1 day of snow !

Hi MyLady...we have not met. My name is Lou Ann but everyone calls me Novia for my pet. Nice to meet you.

[Frannie 0]

hi hi.... how's everyone doing?

[Wish Fairy 0]

Gill - for the registry, I can send some more stuff as we may need it for Lea and Mom (I think it would be lovely to have a set of everything for them when they return) - wot do you need ? I can just send a 4999 to Kitty if you like and then you can buy whatever we're missing.OR if we're missing any Xmas stuff let me know and I will go trade for it !

Frannie - how are you ?!

Can you tell me your snowman joke yet ? LOL

[myladyyawo 0]

Nice to meet you too hun Thank you for letting me know I was actually curious as I was typing your whole user name out lol

Wish, that sounds like madness! If we had no milk, bread after only one day. We'd all be having riots here lol. Nothing really closes except schools but that is usually after a day or two of snow. When I was going to school it was way more than that lol... now my kids go, they close a lot faster than they used to

Hello Frannie, i am doing well thank you . how are you hun ? as for my friend , it is going to be a long haul they are saying it could take a few years to get her back to her old self, we are hoping they are wrong. Some are saying we may never get her back, these mental breakdowns are so up in the air when it comes to knowing anything . right now she is picking battles with everyone and pushing everyone away but we are there for the long run and don't take it personal thank you for asking and i am sorry for rambling on
