Sounds like a busy weekend, I hope you all had fun!

You had a busy weekend, I hope you and the children had fun .

We've had lots of fun, Robbie's actual birthday today, so more fun planned including a meal at our favourite Italian restaurant!

I could definitely have helped with the afternoon tea 'testing'

....I missed the afternoon tea testing thingy...I would have been up for that too...

They'll be scones next week! She's making Bakewell Tart at school.. Will have to make a carbs/sugar exception for that!

Ooh good! The more the merrier x

Wohoo, looking forward to seeing your jar/box!

Is this the new 'thing'...we all have to make one...lol

Merry XMas Chalie! x

A very Merry Christmas to you, too, and your human and animal family! I hope to see more of you on here next year! <3

Merry Christmas Hayley! xx

Yip...I know exactly what you mean...snow at least makes it brighter outside too

Fed up of the rain too .. makes walking a chore and I hate having to remember umbrella .. even though it is spotty

We've had a bit of rain here but mainly dry periods. It's cold though. Maybe I need to send some weather your way?

Sounds good, good luck!

I am doing that too.

And you're right btw!

The original list is on General Chat.. This one is from a desktop calendar I received at Christmas.

ah ok! Will go and find it

Wise words .

I think that's very true:)

Very true!

shame we weren't there too...lol

Only 5 hours sleep last night so positivity will be harder today, but I am determined!

Sounds like you're off to s good start, Chalie !

Thank you Chalie.. I love this list.

Looking forward to read the entire list. I think I need some words of wisdom at the moment

Great one to end on. X

I think on some occasions it'd be better for me to accept certain things rather than fight against what I can't change much about.

It's strange that when I read that one word I automatically thought "Nope". Got a way to go with these haven't I? lol

Good job it's second last on the list then Chrissy.

It's not an easy one, I prefer

'Choose your battles', one I frequently have to employ when dealing with my children!

I like to think so Very much looking forward to the collected list... Something to try and live by

Only 2 more to go!

All you need + tons of other stuff!

Oh, I may wish to swap one or two.

Yes, picking and choosing our problems to suits our strengths may be the way forward.

Ain't that the truth!

Lovely.

I'm going for a dog walk in a bit. Will be a miracle to not be washed or blown away.. Will accept that as my miracle today!

Everything distils into this when you really think about it.

I agree!

Sadly, so many people forget this.

Especially at this time of year, there are so many children who have nothing and who are suffering..

That's very true.

You just have to hope that you have given them the skills and confidence to choose good people.

As a person whose kids have chosen many years ago, you also have to lean on the Good Qualities of their spouses, and don't focus as much on the Bad. We all have both, don't we ?

Hot Chocolate fan?

Only with marshmallows..

Karsa.. high five!
