My carers could not afford a christmas tree this year.....so I have had to dress up in tinsel and have fairy lights wrapped around me.....I won't tell you where they have put the fairy!! The lights are definitely keeping my crackling warm under my kilt....

Anyway - here's wishing you all a Merry Christmas....hope all you have fun and get exactly what you want and what you deserve from Santa...

We will be enjoying Christmas Day with the female sides parents.....should be OK - hope there is no fog when its due for her to leave......otherwise traffic control won't allow her home on the broomstick!!

Once again - hope all is OK wih you folks and will post again soon....

Thought for Christmas - I hope you get what you want and want what you get.....

Well as you can see, my poor trotters are being worked to the bone.....after the foot op, the male 'carer' then decided to get a cold. None of your usual sniffly noses....this was a real MAN cold. Rumour has it that he missed death by a sneeze. This has meant that we have all had to rally around....again!! humph, if I knew the hardships that I would have to endure....I would never have agreed to this placement!!

Well off on nicer things....CHRISTMAS is soon....hope you have stuffed your cards and written the turkey...erm something like that!! I have obviously ensured that we have turkey this year - there was talk of a ham....but I soon put paid to that.

Even tried my hand at a bit of decorating last week with the female 'carer' - this was a giggle, we were wallpapering - it was only my tummy that saved me - I came within a bacon rind of being stuck to the wall.

Oh well will speak to you all again soon.

Oink Oink....

Thought of the moment - when on hold to large corporate customers - why is it they say....your call is important to us...please hold - let me give you a tip....if it is important to you...THEN ANSWER IT WITH A HUMAN!!

Well - sorry that I have not been online for a little while - the 'male carer' has had an operation on his foot - no - I know what you are thinking.....its his left foot you know!!.....he is laying on the sofa....being incredibly BORED BORED BORED.....so I have been sitting with him, keeping him company.

Also had to do some baking for him as well as you can see from the photo - I make a wicked chocolate brownie you know (with a tinsy bit of help). I must say he was pleased to see the cakes - his little face lit up....ahhh so sweet.

Had a visit from the Smiths this week - they are like the Bam Bams - only slightly quieter (not by much)...we all sat on the sofa and watched the borrowers.....secretly I think the 'male one' wanted to see it and just used the kids as an excuse.

Just a quick note to G - hope you feel a OK soon - we all wish you the best.

Thought of the second - a stitch in time......damn well hurts when its holding you together!!!!

Well as you can see.....the management turned up to assist with the christening of the lastest potential TPC member (pictures of the event will follow). Had a great morning - nearly fell in the font - decided that holy water is not for me.

Great knees up afterwards - little offended, as there was someone more important than me.....but due to the fact that it was his day - I will let him off on this occasion.

So will keep you posted soon.

Thought of the day - born to live - taxed to death!!!

Goodness me, is no-where sacred - one stops for a moments thought and contemplation and I still get bugged!!

Well this has been a varied week - my 'carers' went to tea at Harrods with two other longstanding TPC members on Fri - (just a quick hi to Vanilla and Dunc....) - not bad tucker apparently - the male one was a bit pale - due to spending the money I think - he did not get his colour back until Sunday....

On Friday as well they went to a property auction - first time - had to give them guidance on how to be cool - but they managed to buy 1.5 acres of pigsh*t - what a star!! Seriously, the site has been used to keep hogs on - can't wait to get up there and have a roll around in the mud!!

Went out on the motorbike on Sunday with another couple of TPC'ers - good God - their idea of a quick run round the back lanes lasted for over an hour!! I think I have blisters on my trotters now.

Thought of the moment - (from a TPC'ers daughter) - what scared you - don't know haven't found it yet. Oh if life were that simple.
