When writing you Christmas cards, please do not

[LynetteScavo]

sign your pets name underneath yours.

It makes you look slightly odd

lol Jux, she must surely be as mad as a hatter

I mean who has 18 cats unless you own a cat sanctuary

Yeah she was completely barmy. She invited us round to play in the garden, but couldn't allow us in the house as it was filled with cat shit, and there was a fox which used to sleep in her room and gave her scabies. Yeuch. Used to be a teacher, btw!

Admittedly I hadn't considered "and bump" to be the announcement of an impending arrival to people you never see so I apologise.

Cats and dogs-well part of the family so hey why not?

i'd rather see a card signed by the pets than get one of those damn round-robin letters.

Oh they're unreadable aren't they, Expat? Absolutely hate it; the only way you can decipher them is if you already know everything they're telling you, in which case you don't need to read them. Utterly ghastly.

I have sent a card to the adults and dogs in the house and put from us and the cat.

So there!

my Mum always signs cards from her goldfish as well as her ~ but only if writing to the grandchildren!

I like getting the round robin letters from my "friends" as I have a good old laugh at them. Didn't enjoy the (unexpected) one from my old boss telling everyone about her cancer, though.

oooh yes I agree!

'and the bump' is just about acceptable for a first pregnancy I think.

My son's OT named her CAR, 'nancy' and I struggle now to see her in her professional capacity and give her her due respect.. aibu??

My in-laws did this, yes they are odd! They came for the first Christmas I spent with dh and I was rather bemused to find I also had presents from the dog!

Hmm, that get me thinking, what's mumsnet etiquette on thank you letters to canines then?

It's a lovely thing to do.

I used to get a present from my cat!

You mean you sent yourself a present and pretended to yourself it was from the cat?

there are cards in clintons from pets, have you not seen them?
the assistant and i had a giggle then she said the pensioners buy them tis sad really

dont mind pets on cards bumps are odd mind you
and yes rather that than a round robin bil does his in 2pt with complete lack of self awareness

No Lynette-I never asked but presume DH!

i do seal the envelope with possett

yes, its odd. i used have card from relative untill she had baby.

sorry but bump or bean are not good

Does anyone else fancy Jack Dee?

yep

yeah, quite fancy him

not half as much as sean locke, though

Don't know who Sean Locke is. Dee is a bit like my dh in his attitude, moans about bloody everything. Difference is, Dee is sexy whilst doing it whereas dh is just bloody annoying!

lol

sean locke - the specky southerner on 8 out of 10 cats

... miss out one of my children. That's a guarantee to get removed off my Christmas card list!
