Dear Ilona, I'm not very good with words but my heart goes out to you, I think knowing when to make the decision to say goodbye to a much loved pet is such a hard thing to do.

I don't like all the adverts but like Sandy have to admit to loving the meerkats ones and specsavers. If hubby were alive I would be pestering him to go on the site meerkats advertising so I could have one. Bless him he did do that twice so have a couple of the adults. He also bought me a keep on wh...

It was good wasn't it, Sandy. So glad they have commissioned more series. The books are well worth reading.

Did my first walk this morning, not very far at all, but at least I did it. So hopefully taking it steady it will be onwards and upwards.

Morning, think I will put my target at 350, If I do more it will be whoopee but think 350 for me is doable (famous last words ). Will be starting Saturday.

I'm up for it Mo, when are we starting. I hope Ilona won't mind us doing a mini challenge.

That all looks scrummy, love the smell of baking bread.

Afraid paper from presents went in bin. This years presents wrapped in l left over paper from last year and ditto tags. Used to make tags from left over cards and have some somewhere but my 'filing' system means I haven't got a clue where they are.

Hope it all goes ok and you feel better soon

Love the old midsummer mur.ders with John Nettles (anyone remember Bergerac, another good series) have to admit haven't seen any new ones with Neil Dudgeon (think that's his name), they don't appeal to me.

I think the right pair won. It's sad that on some social media they are saying it was a fix etc. To my mind although the others were very good even though Danny made mistake in his quickstep Ore and Joanne were spot on and I loved there dances

Dear Ilona, what a sad time for you. Sending you a hug

I hope Ed Balls does make the final, he brings a bit of fun into show and even the judges think he is improving.
I think I read somewhere that one of the celebs has had dance training before so they have a bit of an unfair advantage .

She really s very beautiful Richard and looking well. Wonder if she will be visiting with cubs next year.

Well done Richard, good to here things looking up.
