Ooo. I went on iplayer to catch up with the fireworks as I didn’t stay up last night and you can’t hear the sound track on that. Got it on YouTube from itv, but are the BBC trying to de-woke the display? 🤣

@cardibach how cute that doggy is, I am sure they won’t be in rescue for long 😍

He’s a little star @Evenstar ! Raring to walk, happy for cuddles, does a lovely sit for a treat…
His head to body proportion is a bit off (massive head love him) but he’s very cute. frenchies do seem to go in and out fairly quickly, though we have one gorgeous one who can’t get a break).

He’s cute! DD and her partner found a little stray Frenchie in Cardiff at the weekend. He was looking poorly so they took him to the PDSA who thought he might have been abandoned as an ex breeding dog. Can’t help wondering how he is.

I did enjoy the fireworks from London last night. I particularly liked the reference to the EU stars 🤣

I hope the slowly emerging meltdown in at least one other thread only adds to your enjoyment.

The one I am reading is certainly entertaining

He’d probably end up at CDH. For future reference - they have a vet so it’s a good place to start with a stray. If the PDSA call the Dog Warden that’s where he’ll go. The staff are brilliant.

Happy New Year to you all. I have been a bit quiet lately but still keeping up with the posts.
I missed the fireworks last night but may have to catch up on them as it appears that they have upset a few people on X

Do. It’s a joyous way to waste 13 minutes.

I hoped to take a photo of the cat who pays my cat tax when visiting today. Sadly he has moved house as he fell in love with one of the cafe customers, and the proprietor accepted the idea of a new home as said cat had not been behaving well enough for the cafe. And another cat is being the mouser for the local area now anyway.

Don't forget the 🍷

@countrygirl99 lets hope that’s where he goes then. Poor little mite.

Youngest daughter sent a gorgeous photo of the fireworks taken from her and partner's flat in Whitechapel with their gorgeous cat.

Agree the fireworks were spectacular.

Evening all. And very happy New Year.

Finally made it to bed sometime after 6am and not surprisingly feeling a bit delicate. Quick snooze this afternoon helped though.

Didn’t see the fireworks but sounds like I need to catch up with them, as well as reading about them here!

@BIWI 6am! I thought I was doing well to stay up until 2am. Blimey. Respect.😁

Bloody hell @BIWI ! That’s a shift!

Dangerous times

Hopefully the new stores will make Oxford Street more inviting - fewer tourist tat/American candy places. Because currently it’s really a bit of a shithole.

6am! Wow! Like Pandora I thought I was doing well with a 2am bedtime (that was only because I was waiting up to check teenagers got home okay). I’d need a weekend in bed to recover from 6am 😵‍💫 😁

Also didn’t see the fireworks. Will check them out. Weird that some people struggle to just enjoy the show.

Happy New Year one & all.

The fireworks thread is horrible. So much thinly disguised racism.🤮

You’re all hard as nails!

I went to bed at 11 - woke at 2am and then 6am.

I used To be able to pull all nighters but even 2am is beyond me now! (I think it’s years of getting up at 5am and my body clock shifting)

I went up at about 10.30. Woken by mortar barrage of fireworks at 12. Woken at 1, and then at intervals until 3, by noisy neighbours returning and causing havoc. Finally woke at 8.

I'm a total marshmallow. I was in bed at 00:15 and slept like a log.
