Tell me about your pets or what you want for Christmas or your favourite film
Anything will do!

I'm in so much (physical) pain and need distraction as I've maxed out pain relief

Have you got a picture of your cat?

On the kitchen worktop where he isn't meant to be

We got another cat in June.
This is my favourite picture of the two of them, when they decided they could tolerate each other.

Oh you poor thing - sorry to hear that, I hope you feel better soon 🌺

Here’s a photo of my doggo for cuteness- and my favourite film is either Calamity Jane or Strictly Ballroom 💃

Here’s my puppy. I’m surprised he sat still long enough for me to take this.

The photos are working better than trying to play candy crush!

I've had naproxen and morphine and hoping it kicks in soon
My ovary is twisting and I'm in agony

My friend couldn't find her kitten.

Until she checked the dog's basket.

Hi Shady!

Mylifeisamesssuchamess · 30/11/2024 15:55

My fave Christmas films are:
Elf
Home Alone
Christmas with the Kranks
Love Actually
The Holiday
Nativity

Not necessarily in that order. Looking forward to the Xmas TV mag coming out to see which ones are on. I recorded Home Alone today and bought Love Actually In a charity shop. Hoping the rest are on over Xmas.

My dog is an absolute arse hole OP 🤣

fivebyfivebuffy · 30/11/2024 15:57

Oh I love elf, hopefully it's on TV soon

WorkShmork · 30/11/2024 15:59

Aw, I'd love to have a cat.

My favourite film is Elf, it's brilliant. I completely recommend it if you haven't watched it. I only let DS watch it this year though, as it covers the idea of people believing / not believing in Father Christmas.

My 2 cats - in their favourite place on my bedroom windowsill 😀

Off to look at that. Taken some more morphine but I'm creeping close to the max dose now

I now have 6 cats...I don't even particularly like cats. I live rurally and a few years ago the tortie showed up, then the white (tabby) one she is fighting with in the picture was born in the garden last year. Then this year the three kittens, all in the pic together were born in the garden (cannot catch mum, she's as wild as the wind). Then Dad showed up with an infected eye - so he came in too. His eye is just getting better now. All have been neutered, one is still quite feral though. I think dad cat is dad to all the four tabby cats, but his courting days are now over. The tortie is not very happy with all the cats, it took her 6 months to get over the first kitten that showed up.

My ferret brothers Weasel and Otter cuddling in their sleep to make you smile.

Hope your painkillers kick in soon, don’t forget to take something like Omeprazole with the Naproxen to protect your stomach.
