Zoonie

192 good morning

Sara I have been a member here for some time, I didn't make all the posts since Friday Yes, my husband is usually referred to as OH (other half) or IMOM = International Man of Mystery, as people couldn't find him on Facebook

Oh my - I was a 'little tree' when I went to bed last night, and now I'm a 'regular member'

Good Morning Friends FOUR DAYS TO CHRISTMAS!!! Eeek! Not sure if we're snowed in again today - my OH (other half) isn't able to get to work by train, and he can walk to the station in about 4 minutes flat. The train system is at a halt again today!

Armell honey, I'm going to move over to the daily chat thread. If you look below the Quick Reply box, see the pink New Topic and the Green Post Reply boxes? to the right of that it says Pet Society Fan Community::PSFC Groups::C&G - click on the C&G and it will show you all the threads in our group - the Gift Registry is back, plus other threads, including one to chat in. There's a separate sub forum too for our competitions and games

They will definitely come in handy, thanks Wish. Not opened PS yet, not sure if I'll have time to make a list - there are so many Christmas items now, it's like a store within a store! Have added another Rep point for your kindness

I'm c-o-l-d. Mr Zoonie set off for work at 05.45 but there's a broken down train at the station, all dark and deserted - he said it's really spooky. Pitch black here still, and we're watching all the weather chaos on the news...not as bad as you guys get it for sure, but it's still crippled the country. I really hope our oil arrives today, we're so low on supply! How are you? Sweet dreams Jeanie

Armell! you made it good morning to you. Good Morning Jeanie

A quick piece of advice. Sometimes having a phone, instant messenger or email makes you too accessible, and it seems like you have to be in touch with everyone else all the time - if you want to relax, take a long bath, solve puzzles, read or watch a film, turn your phone off, or just don't pick up... anything important will find you, and the rest can wait until you have time to enjoy it - you don't always need to be there if you have something else going on - hope that helps. PS second bit of advice If you don't know something DO just ask, don't be embarrassed, because I think it's more embarrassing not to know and to try and hide that, than it is to just be up-front and say you don't know and need to find out - remember you only need to ask once, but you might need to hide that you don't know, many, many times!

I added to your Rep Yvette for your story and for your advice. I would say, Ena, that you have to want to perform - not everyone really wants it...but if you do, then there are ways to get beyond the fear. First off, understand that you don't have to be the world's best performer anyway - and even if you were, chances are that someone wouldn't like it - that just goes with the territory I'm afraid, and you have to accept that. Nearly all performers have the nerves, and have their own way of coping with them. Perhaps some exercises in controlled breathing might help you a little? I'm sure there's lots of information on that if you do a search of the net - good luck!

I think that's all great advice It's very hard if someone doesn't value themself, and you can't help change things over night I think - you have to keep at it consistently, that's important, and also compliments have to be sincere. I agree it's very important to let someone know how much you notice about them and what they do - commenting on the small things reinforces that they're making an impression, not just the major things like a new hairstyle or the clothes - I think it's nice to make it about them and their attitude or something they've done which is unique to them. We all like to feel appreciated and valued and to feel we did well sometimes

I heard that earlier, personally I'm sticking with Slade (again) and Wizzard (again) Frankie's Power of Love (again) and Chris Rea (any idea what should go in these brackets???) Not to mention Fairytale of New York - I know Christmas is here when my long distance friend rings me (always *ahem 'tipsy' to say the least! and sings down the phone, the whole version, after which I applaud (of course) and we declare Christmas open Where are the new songs? (oh the irony of that question, given the above!)

Too many 2009 items are just updates of the 2008. I don't think either are better, but this year there are just too many. I still like the egg nog as one of my favourites

167 then (checks back to be sure)

G'night BG and sleep tight Tanya. I'll come back tomorrow too. See you then x

I have a spreadsheet Anastasia, so whoever PMs me, whatever the month, I can add it and then every month I post which birthdays are coming up So the answer is, PM me at any time please. December 29th Michelle, forum name MissyMicha, pet Carlie

See you BG, don't stress, go with the flow and enjoy what you have. My ED and her b/f are spending Christmas apart and they live together - that seems very strange to me, but it's their choice. Gracious, I just found out that here our Christmas No 1 in the pop charts is Rage Against the Machine

Night Boo. Yes, Tanya, like a posting contest I guess, but you have to post the numbers in sequence. Did you all see this /the-cafe-f3/your-pet-on-the-psfc-bannerhurry-t6600-30.htm#185980 Fun! Just listening to local news, travel is bad, 3 people have been killed in a car accident on a frozen road, not too far from here

this isn't really the image I want to enter, I just wanted to post and say Hi oooh look, Zoonie's not even the same colour any more! Shocking!

I will message you in my morning Kijo, see if we can work it out to suit you Thanks Audrey and thanks Jeanie, we're still settling in, but very much hope people enjoy the group

Cap'n you're doing fine! I hope the hospital has some answers for you *hugs* BTW there are two competitions in the Comps section of this C&G group board...a counting competition with random gifts and another Spot the Differences comp too!

159 Merry Christmas!

Agh! another privacy issue I think Anastasia, I'll try and help Dawn tomorrow. * I'll be closing this competition tomorrow, so please all get your answers in by Noon GMT Monday"

/facebook-trading-f2/ that's the link for the Trading Forum for Facebook. Even if you want to swap and not sell or buy, you may find just what you're hoping for there!

It's easy when you have time to look, isn't it, that's the thing - to explore a bit and see what you can tweak to suit yourself. There are loads of options on here. BG - good luck with the meal, as usual it's me and my OH here, in charge of the kitchen! your parents will be able to relax and be waited on! Has everyone who wants to see spoilers, seen them? Don't go there if you want to be surprised!!! /psfc-news-f7/spoilers-released-another-psfc-exclusive-21st-december-t6644-40.htm See you in a moment PInky.
