Olly Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 The Tower poppies are amazing, I went quite early on (I can go there in my lunch hour) but haven't been recently as it has been so crowded. I'm really pleased to hear they are going to keep part of it for a bit longer, and then it will tour the UK. I just wish I'd ordered one when I had the chance, they have sold out.

bluekarin Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 My sister has two bunnies who she thought were both girls, but when 4 babies appeared one morning, obviously not! Anyway, they are about 3 weeks old now, but last night, after her hubby checked on them at 9.30pm, someone went into their garden and opened up the hutch, which they found empty this morning They have now found the two adults and one baby, but so far no sign of the other three They think they know who did it, but without proof what can you do? Why would someone do this to defenceless animals who would do no harm from their hutch, make no noise just beggars belief I am hoping the babies are hiding under the shed where the parents were and where they have set up boxes with food and hay for them to go to Her two young boys are really upset as you can imagine.

The Dogmother Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That sort of mindless act really makes my blood boil - do they have a webcam they can set up? I hope the kits are found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That's awful . Who would do such a thing ? Poor little babies . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sadly they don't I think she is hoping they might be hiding under the decking as when they were trying to coax the mum out from under a shed, she appeared behind them! It is so horrible someone would do a thing like that. I just hope it's not their other neighbour who has disliked them for some unknown reason ever since they moved in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hopefully someone just opened the door and let them out rather than stealing the mum and kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Just ordered a little table top Christmas tree for ES's room at uni. How sad am I? I had a little tree in the nursing home which my mum got me. Just wanted him to have some Christmas cheer. He will think I'm nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sorry to hear about the bunnies Karin - any news on the others? I'm sure he'll love it Ali! We decorated our kitchen in first year: Second and Third year were even better living in a house in town because we 'wallpapered' the lounge with christmas wrapping paper I know I have photos somewhere but will have to find them!

patsylabrador Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 I sent Christmas in a shoebox to ES in Afghanistan, a tiny tree, a tiny Xmas cake lights, elves and so on. Sadly it didn't get to him in time but he still enjoyed it when it did reach him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I meant to add it doesn't matter how old they are or what they're doing you still want them to have as nice a Christmas as possible. I'm really glad ES is in Norway atm because he's popping by on his way back to Japan which has given me the chance to put together a stocking of little gifts for him for Christmas Day.

chickencam Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 ED said that her flat are going to decorate for Christmas this coming weekend to make the most of the festive period because they will be back home by the middle of December . I have bought DS and his girlfriend Thontons Snowman chocolate advent calenders, not sure if they have them in America. My DS has always loved The Snowman and his favourite toy was his Snowman which an aunt gave to him when he was about two, they were inseparable. We always get something Snowman related for him each year. I may well send him a few other bits and pieces too. They have both been invited by family friend's of hers to a Thanksgiving weekend which DS likes because he had promised to cook for her, because it will be a first big festival that she will miss from home.

Lewis Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I have bought DS and his girlfriend Thontons Snowman chocolate advent calenders, not sure if they have them in America. I've just been teaching an English lesson and apparently here in Slovakia they get Haribo advent calendars instead of chocolate! They can also get Kinder Bueno etc with chocolate but I love the idea of Haribo. Mom brought a Thorntons advent calendar for me last weekend but I'm going to try and find a Haribo one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You can't have too many advent calenders Lewis, specially not if they have sweets in My mum told me the other day that Anne Summers are doing an advent calendar - I dread to think what's in that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 i agree not actually very Christmassy is it. Mind you being a chocoholic I probably wouldnt notice. I have a bar hidden in the kitchen so OH cant find it - every so often I have a nibble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 frantic search for said bar of choccie this am - it had fallen to back of cupboard - serves me right I am on WW permanantly as I am a fat woman in a thinner womans body and the fat woman is evil and threatens to break out all the time ES's birthday pressies arrived (clothes) with a free caramel coffee sample - kettle on and mug at ready - all excited and yuck - disgusting - how they sell this stuff I will never know.
