Carolyn Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Just sitting here and looking around at all the decorations that have to come down and be packed away for another year, so I better get myself in gear and start today. Looking forward to getting the house back to order, but not looking forward to doing it. Oh well that's going to be my day. Carolyn & Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I have just got back from the vets with Charlie. I have had his band removed. The vet gave him a quick anasthetic and he is fine, a bit quiet but has eaten some fruit. He also gave him a quick check over and said all is fine. He was happy with his weight and diet and over all condition. I will leave him quiet tonight untill he forgives me. He wanted head scratches before so he is not bearing a grudge.

BaxtersMom Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Sheila, good for you getting the band off charlies leg. I have 3 with bands and since reading some topics on it I would like to get the bands off, too. But what I am doing right now is being mad, angry, short temptered, arguementative and just ready to bite anyone & everyones head off. :angry: Yes, that's right, I'm trying to quit smoking for my New Years resolution and it's not going so well for me right now{Characters-0002007C}. I want a cigarette:angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goralka08 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'm currently drinking some Alkaseltzer Nighttime. My lil' cold turned into infection and I was on Levaquin and now a Z-pack. With all the meds, I'm starting to feel better. I'm bound and determined to knock this bug outta me! Erika- Don't give up! I know you can do it!! It going to be real hard at first, but once you start feeling better...you're going to wonder what took you so long to quit! Your health will benefit and so will your pocket book! And you can have even more money to spend on your cute flock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Oh Shut Up Kimberly. :angry: Just kidding :laugh: I know there are so many reasons to quit. They stink, they are expensive, they shorten life spans, they take up too much time, it's not a very pretty habit and the list goes on indefinately so why do I want one so bad. I am trying to stay strong. I've tried to quit before. I can't do it cold turkey but I've only had 4 today which is a huge improvement. And Kimberly, I was just kidding:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 "Yipee!" I thought.. Its the weekend and then it dawned on me it was time to remove the skeletal remains of the Christmas tree:( An hour and a half later and I ended up looking like Pinhead from the hellraiser horror film. A very painful experience:laugh: The last pine needle was removed from this dwelling:( Ok possibly not the last lol An afternoon of cleaning the house from top to bottom, cleaned out all of the poultry now taking a well earned five minutes break I thought weekends were for relaxing..Grocery shopping Sunday thn massive pile of ironing:evil: aaagh! Bring on Monday lol Enjoy your weekend..<br><br>Post edited by: pugwash, at: 2009/01/03 18:14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Since I never put up a tree this year I had none to take down, we took that trip to Disney World early in the month and when we got back there was so much else to do that I never got around to putting a tree up. I will be putting one up next year but it was so nice not to have to undecorate that thing, the older you get the more of a hassle it is to do. Bring on Monday my rear end, I live for the weekends.

Goralka08 Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 4:22AM and I'm currently experiencing insomnia due to all the horrific things I see on T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pugwash Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Oh God dont talk about insomnia. I took a couple of Kalms to get me to sleep the other eve and now I wake everynight at approx midnight totally wide eyed. I must have a low tolerance to plant extract lol;) We got snow today! It looks real nice however I have had several bad falls in my life involving ice and horses and I cant step on it now without getting in a hyper state. also being 5ft 11 tall its a damn long way down lol:blink: Made enough Lasagne this morning to feed the five thousand Back on the exercise wheel later. Am currently on a get fit mission then back to counting sheep later and hopefully back on track for a good nights rest:unsure: Enjoy the day all!!

she Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 First day back at work today so 5am start. The roads were terrible. I dont think they had been gritted so my little mini slid to work. Charlie is in a sulk because I am back at work and is on a sit in, he wont come out the cage. When I got home I vacumed and dusted and put washing on sorted out the cages and had a weight watchers meal for my tea, yuk. Haley you are so lucky being tall, I am a real shortey and if I put a pound on it looks like a stone. I weighed myself today and I am 53kg . That is disgusting for my height. I ran a lot untill last summer and I am fighting a loosing battle. I have insomnia as well but wake up at 3am almost on the dot. I blame the shift work I do.

casper Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 We are having a really cold spell at the moment. Some nights it has been down to -11! So would you believe it, my heating has broken and I have no hot water! I have called a plumber out, I hate to think how much this is going to cost, and guess who I am worrying about? No not the kids but the birds! I hope they will be okay, if I dont get it fixed I will have to go out and buy so radiators for tonight. Hope everyone else is having a better day! Keep warm everyone:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks Dave, if not have you any space for 2 adults, two kids, three greys and two cats? We will have to get a warm round your candle lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 You're not going to get much heat off a candle, besides candles are not allowed around greys, if you weren't an ocean away you could come to my house, I have 2 fireplaces that would keep you toasty warm.

Goralka08 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Caroline, I keep forgetting that everyone except the U.S. is using the metric system! Saturday night here in Michigan is supposed to be -11C. I hope your heat gets fixed soon! That's horrible for it to go out when it's this cold outside! We had that happen a couple years ago (before we had our grey) and we would have to start the oven and all the burners (gas stove) to keep warm! I'd be worried about your fids, too, because it's much easier to bundle up a child than your greys. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

she Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Caroline, Hope your heating gets sorted. It has been very cold, as you say down to -11 in some places,Bet you are glad your not me scraping the car at 5.30 am. You can always drive down the m62 to mine for a warm. Had a fairly usual day, no surprises. The birds are out and just sitting on the cages, being nice and good for once. I am looking forward to a program on Animal Planet at 8pm called Elephants of Samburu. Samburu is where I was In Kenya. I will get my tea over and settle the birds down so I can see it in peace and get warm just thinking of how hot it was there. Heres a photo of one of the elephants I was privalaged to see Post edited by: she, at: 2009/01/07 18:04<br><br>Post edited by: she, at: 2009/01/07 18:13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
