Hi everyone, Please may I ask for prayers for my Mum and my Uncle? I just got off the phone with her a few minutes ago and she very sadly informed me that Keisha, their oldest dog, died a very painful death last night. The poor little girl was fourteen years old and had cancer. Mum is blaming... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank you Grandmummy kabu! Your comment regarding my post of last night has given me a wonderful idea! I appreciate your idea about buying both the peddler and and the boxed set of THE BULLWINKLE SHOW at the same time and cutting back on something else later on, but unfortunately that just isn't...

I've been in and out of amazon all afternoon and some of the evening. I was looking round at different DVD presents for Margaret, and whilst I was at it, I decided to have another look at the complete boxed set of THE BULLWINKLE SHOW. Most of you will remember that I had decided not to use Dad's... Sign in to see full entry.

Our friend Marvin brought us a record player about a week and a half ago. I haven't had one since I was a kid and wasn't really bothered about it until last summer when I found an old 45 on ebay. This one tells the story of how UNDERDOG saved the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade! Some of you may... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes I really do crack myself up. Here I was, all excited to Margaret and Belle and the kids going out for a couple of hours and giving me a bit of peace and quiet. I had secretly planned to play with the wii while they're out and about, but haha...it looks like the joke is on me! I just... Sign in to see full entry.

My dear friends, may I please ask for your prayers for my friend Hazel? I just had an email from her, and things have been very rough for her of late. She is facing a very serious surgery sometime in January, and a tragedy recently struck her workplace. Several weeks ago, Hazel was diagnosed with a... Sign in to see full entry.

OMG...I honestly don't know how much more of this I can stand. Usually I'll get a break of a couple of weeks or so in between bouts of back and/or hip pain, but not this time. This round has lasted nearly three weeks now. I think the hip pain may be a result of another onset of Burcitis. I may have... Sign in to see full entry.

We are WORN OUT! Its been a good day, but we didn't sleep well last night and are ready for nighty night! So, I will see you all tomorrow dear ones. Sweet dreams and pleasant sleep and God bless you all. Sign in to see full entry.

Normally, I find the adverts for all the newest, hottest Christmas toys extremely annoying. Most of them don't really teach creativity of any kind...and far too many of them in my opinion are computer based or some other form of video that doesn't really call for the use of the child's imagination....

My family is INSANE! My oldest sister is on facebook just now and I read her post which says "I wish it would snow!" Yes, I know it is bone-chilling cold outside...I know people don't like the cold...but to wish for snow??!! Okay, so maybe snow would warm up the weather...but why would you wish for...

Well, Margaret and Marie should be home any minute now and Belle and Toby shan't be far behind. So, the long awaited bombardment is about to begin! Thank God they'll be out most of the day tomorrow! I'm chatting up my Becky! She's going to be in rehab until 30 December, but she's doing well and... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm glad I have the wii sports resort to help me get a bit of decent excercise, but if I want to lose some pounds I'll have to do better than that and I think I finally found a way. Actually, it was Margaret who gave me the idea and the inspiration. Bless her. As most of you know, I can't do most... Sign in to see full entry.

YAY! The cable has been turned back on! The poor chap showed up just as we were having lunch and apologised for "bothering" us. Not at all, we told him. He was very nice. So hooray! I wonder if any of our favourite old shows are still running on the upper channels? I hope so! Sign in to see full entry.

I've just turned off the wii for a bit. This morning I played a round of golf-well, actually two rounds-of golf with Charlie and a game of bowling with MiMi. I'm still bad at golf, though not as bad as I was at first. The bowling today, however, did not go as well as it usually does. Still, it's... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone! I know...I broke my promise to you all to come back and post again yesterday. What can I say? I'm a very bad little girl! Truth be told, I just kept getting distracted! Today I should have some time to write. Margaret has gone off to Wal-Mart to do a bit of food shopping. We're having... Sign in to see full entry.

Hi everyone... Yes, I am still here, just wasn't able to write anything until now. Its been a long and rough day on several accounts. But I don't want to get into it now. It's enough for me just to finally be able to sit here and write. I'm really glad to be back with you all at last. Unfortunately,... Sign in to see full entry.

Margaret and I have slowly begun decorating the flat for Christmas. We have TONS of decorations, so we can't put them all out from year to year so we end up having to choose each year which ones we like the most. Trouble is, it's so hard to choose! But we somehow manage it every year. We can't put... Sign in to see full entry.

It is FRIGID outside today! Not a good day physically for me, but at least I got out of bed this morning! Only real problem with it being so cold is that now my ankle is in trouble again. It's already starting to stiffen up and I have a feeling it'll get worse before it gets better. My back hurts... Sign in to see full entry.

So, we've finally done it. After long deliberation Margaret and I finally came to the decision to have our cable television turned back on. We've been without it for a long time now and weren't going to do it, but the winters are so long for me-and for Margaret too-that we decided we needed... Sign in to see full entry.

I have to admit this time of year is not always the best for me, but whenever I get really low I always remind myself that there are so many others who are having things far worse than I ever will. I do my best to be especially kind and tolerent and patient with others at this time of year. And... Sign in to see full entry.
