Took my jack russel out for an early walk this morning who then promptly knobbed off , I have been out whistling and looking for him to no avail , he has done this before and comes back anywhere between 1 and 6 hours later
we were due to travel to mils at 10am for lunch so now making alternate plans , just went out to the second freezer containg all of our dog meat to find it has stopped working and has defrosted all of it and some green beans my dad gave me
waiting for third thing now !

Ds woke me at about 5am this morning saying that he wasn't feeling well & hasnt slept. He was mumbling to himself & did not sound well at all. Hope he isnt coming down with a bug because i have family coming today. Will wake him in a short while. Fingers crossed.

Billyboys-hope you found your Jack Russel!!!

Cock up was my mother (no contact) decided to have Xmas day at my grandfathers house (we offer every year to cook for him but he refuses) so they inevitably argued as they don't like each other and she went home and I got to listen to phonecalls from both sides slagging the other one off. I just wanted a quiet Christmas with my kids and partner. No drama.

Oh no! Hoping he comes back soon. Flowers

ReanimatedSGB · 26/12/2017 22:08

Mostly OK. DS got it into his head that he was getting an extra present - did not communicate this to us until he didn't get it, then had a bit of a tanty. (He is 13 and probably ASD and he gets these... ideas sometimes). But cooled down after a while.

NaiceTurkey · 26/12/2017 23:39

BillysBoy - is he back?

KERALA1 · 26/12/2017 23:42

Dd was given a toy turtle in little portable tank. Which she dropped spilling entire contents of icy water all over my poor fathers erm crotch area.

Lily2007 · 27/12/2017 13:29

DH gave me my present and I unwrapped a soft toy pig then he said um I think I have got the presents the wrong way round.

It turns out that PIL have mice. We found out about them when we found the empty packaging of DS's stocking chocolates surrounded by many mouse droppings.
