What made you happy today?

[Sar]

Christmas party done. Holidays have started. Whats the betting I don't get half as much done on my to do list as I want to?

Now for Hamza to win Strictly... please! (I'm waiting for it to finish recording so I can watch it from the beginning as I've just got in).

 

[Sar]

Hamza & Jowita won!

I won't lie, I jumped out of my chair!

 

[alpacasqueak]

And meeting up with my bestest mates later who I haven’t met up with in months (as I’m always having to cancel plans with them due to the stupid epileptic brain!)

Sorry strike that, sat by myself on the bed all night as didn’t even get a reply from friend, so looks like I was forgotten about or plans cancelled and no one bothered letting me know Cheers mateys!
So enjoyed lots of my favourite angry music on my todd all night instead feeling sorry for myself!

 

[Roselina]

Wallpapering my spare bedroom and landing with wood effect paper …..hard work but so worth it

 

[Sar]

Doused the bathroom ceiling in cilit bang to get rid of the small mould marks. Cleaned the bathroom round to get rid of any spillages of the stuff and now feel like I've made a start on spring cleaning. Am I early for next year or late for this year?!

Exactly what I keep looking at and think needs to be done this week. Could try writing yourself a note for spring to say "already done it, take a break"

Oh no! That’s bloody crap. So sorry x

My happy today is having the most wonderful parcel delivered from @alpacasqueak. It’s so thoughtful and wonderful and I’m so lucky to have found this forum and some lovely people who don’t get bored of my animal chat and photos. Thank you Becci,

Same @alpacasqueak, my parcel turned up just now too, thank you so much (from myself, and the goblins! Although I haven't opened it yet. I'm being good. /snort).

[Lorcan]

If I open it I'll end up opening the one from my parents too. Gotta keep calm

Yes I saw that debate. I didn’t comment because I’m an open early camp!

 

[Merab]

I’ve been to a carols round the tree in one of the villages.
Great turn out. Music provided by a brass ensemble from a local school.
I wasn’t too cold either.

Glad yours came too!
Just open it, it’s only little, you were supposed to then you’ve still got your parents one to open Xmas day!
You’re just teasing the boys with whiffs of the toys I made them you big meany

Totally not getting my own back for Cam screaming at me all day yesterday because...he's Cam, and he can lol. They've got so many things I want to be like "they'll think it's Christmas or something", but well, it is. I bought them some seagrass tunnels, not tried them with those yet but Comet and Blitzen always loved them.

As it is on the day I'm planning on opening the presents, letting the goblins run riot and sticking my earbuds in, playing games, and pretending not to notice the shenanigans in the next room. And answering the door when my Christmas Dinner arrives and bunging it into the microwave.

In today's news I accidentally dropped most of the food portion for the goblins right beside Cam at one point yesterday, which isn't helpful, Bann needs it too. So I went to pick it up thinking crap, I'm gonna spook him, he'll set Bann off. And instead as I put my hand down he just...sidestepped out of the way. Genuine just...step right and keep on eating.

 

[alpacasqueak]

Sounds like a fun Xmas for the goblins!
My lot got the presents I got them for Xmas yesterday, I am weak and I totally admit it Spoilt bloody brats

 

[alpacasqueak]

Me and my gang got our lovely parcel from @Gem789 on Monday too, thanks so much Gemma, we love it xx
There was even a present all wrapped for (Gemma’s best mate) Daisy, everyone meet Flappy

She then bolted off the sofa, and straight in the bedroom on the bed, I think she may have a fish phobia! (Terrified, like of the flappy fish I bought her a while back ) Strange old catwoman

This afternoon, I found a fascinating bug that is camouflaged as a gum leaf! Here in the bush, there are plenty of gumtrees so it makes sense why this bug is camouflaged as a gum leaf. I'm still yet to find what type of insect this is.

Cocoa has been getting grumpier as he is getting older. He is now over 4 years old; per the rescue. Every time I talk with the piggies and him he starts teeth chattering at me. Finally figured out why. I talk to all the other piggies in a widdle baby voice and I just talk normally to him since I figure he is a dignified gentlepig. No. He is not a dignified gentlepig. He wants to also be talked to in a widdle baby voice. Teeth chattering has mostly stopped unless he thinks I'm late with the food.

That is so cute - well done Cocoa you want the same treatment as the others

 

[weepweeps]

Obviously never too old for the widdle baby voice. So sweet.

Picked my new glasses up today. Looking forward to looking through lenses that are not covered in scratches, when I eventually get them bedded in over next couple of weeks (current ones have been well worn!)

Decided to go automatic for driving lessons. Made the choice, have added myself to some waiting lists so now is a waiting game.

 

[Roselina]

Well done you Sar
Automatic cars are so much easier to drive !

 

[Merab]

This arrived today. A thank you gift

Spending time with family and knowing I get to see my daughter's face in the morning when she finds out Santa has been!

I remember those days! They are truly magical!

I can safely say I opened my presents on Christmas Day. At 1am this morning, sure, but it was still today!

The goblins are loving a new fleecy tunnel and a hay cookie (so far, they can't eat everything at once) from the lovely @YvonneBlue and they're actually eating forage! Which is novel, usually they stare at me blankly for a while but @alpacasqueak not only made them delicious forage but also made them a box to eat it from and it turns out, they understand the box!
I also put a seagrass tunnel in with them and set up the 2x2 section of the cage with 5 tunnels - one at the end, two more on the sides, and apparently they like the assault course? Who cares. They love the tunnels. And aren't even squabbling.

Finally, opened the present from my parents. We were right! "Quick Quilts To Make In A Weekend" and then a pack of fabric with another quilt pattern, it looks like the fabric's been cut for that pattern specifically.

I'm waiting on a Christmas dinner getting delivered later, and then I'm going to be watching Strictly (I know, lol) on iPlayer and reading for the rest of today I think. And/or play games. Probably reading.

 

[alpacasqueak]

Aww so glad they’ve been having fun and actually work out how to get in @Lorcan! Jasper and Cleo still stare blankly at most things and I’ve been making them stuff for over two years now
You are good waiting til Christmas! Enjoy your Christmas dinner and glad you like your pressies from your parents and lovely Yvonne too, have a good day x

 

[weepweeps]

Have a lovely day.

Glad your having a good day. Sounds like the boys are enjoying all their gifts. We are also watching Strictly (although everyone else seems to be napping).
