Hey! That Smudge is a little devil!

*Hugs to Robbie and your family* I know, about the only thing I'm gonna like about this Christmas is the kittens (who, by the way, Smudge has broken one of the branches! ). It was hard to write out my cousins' Christmas Card as well, only two names instead of 3 (next year 3 instead of 4).

Bye bye 2008. This year has been the worst year of a lot of peoples' lives. Hopefully it'll be much happier.

Fifi's so cute btw!

LOL- I love Gremlins too!

Not too bad, thanks........... put some flowers up on Katie and Grandad. They've put the headstone up on Katie, it's quite a nice one.

My word, what a year. Hope the words mean more to a lot of people in 09- it hasn't been exactly a happy year for a lot of people.

Take care:friends0:

What a lovely picture of you and your Mum! How are you?

Hope you enjoy seeing your sisters Saw my Hastings nan today, and also took some flowers to the cemetery. They've put my cousin's headstone up, it looks great.

Oh well, now I have to be lazy, which is hard because I'm quite sporty, as yesterday I was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter disease, which affects about 10% of active teenagers. So now I'm on medication and excluded from sports for a long long time.

5 days to the Big Day.......

Hey Charm! Thanks, I'm greatful that I don't need physio and stuff though. Osgood Schlatter might affect about 10% of atcive teenagers, but it's a pain in the bum!

Once again, thanks- we'll try and enjoy it as much as we can bearing in mind everything........ I hope you have a nice Christmas too!

Hope you have fun round your aunt and uncle's Today was diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter disease, thankfully not as frightening as what it sounds but it is very painful.

Otherwise, fine thanks. I'm having a quiet Christmas this year.

Had to buy myself some eyeliner- I ran out of the pencil stuff, but thankfully got loads of liquid eyeliner left. Oh yeah, also got some concealer, too. I'm running out of everyrhing!

Have a nice Christmas holiday!

Is that Fifi in your avatar, Nici, cos it's very cute

Same here, just got a couple of bits and bobs to buy food-wise, but otherwise just waiting for the day to come.

Went to the doctor's today- about 2 1/2 weeks ago I had some XRays done on my knee, and have been diagnosed with Osgood Schlatter Disease (thankfully not as scary as what it sounds) and am now on medication and am not allowed to do PE for a long time, until it settles down in a few months. About the only exercise I can do is swimming, which is OK really cos I ADORE swimming!

How about you?

Well on Friday lunchtime we break up for 2 weeks I'll be seeing my nan and grandad on the day before Christmas eve, and on boxing day will be seeing my other nan- this year for the first time ever she'll be on her own so we're supporting her. This year's gonna be hard on all of us, especially on my Mum's side- we've had 4 deaths this year.

What are your Christmas plans?

Not too bad, thanks, but finding it hard because it's nearly Christmas. Having had four deaths in the family this year, of course it's gonna be hard.

Ready for Christmas?

Hi Kat. I love your avatar- so cute!

Hello Laura, how are you?

Aah, cool! There's loads of make-up and clothes and stuff I'm after for Christmas/New Year Sales, too Have you decorated the tree yet?

Smudge has wrecked ours- it was a nice tree until he discovered it! But Stewie's scared of it. Ah well, better to have different personalities than two the same!

I thought about nicknaming Smudge Grinch actually... Stewie's been quite good with them, he's a bit scared of them, bless him. It's a fake tree- Smudge would probably be worse if we had a real tree.

OK, I'll have a look at it, Smudge in the tree again! *cracks up*

Thanks Mum! ((((((bighugs back))))))) Those mince pies smell nice......

Thanks ii! *big hug* Feeling better? Migraines are horrible.

LOL- we did have a nice Christmas tree- but one of the kittens is ruining it and grabbing the decs! *rolls around laughing* Luckily, the other one's like it.

Hi Mum, I'm finding it hard to cope right now!

You're welcome Inver:hug: I hope so too- won't be sorry to see the back of this year, as with many others on the forum

You're welcome ii! *grins* Bit upset, hardly suprising I suppose. *rolls eyes*

How about you- ready for Christmas?

Hi Kay, Hope you enjoy it here

Thanks Spooncat And I'm ever so sorry to hear about Kaitlyn. I'll be thinking of you, too.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss

Thanks Nici, you too

It seems a lot of people on here will have a hard Christmas Doing well, thanks, considering Saturday was a year minus eight weeks since our cat Rosie died, Tuesday was 20 weeks since our other cat Teazle died, and today was 20 weeks since we buried my 11-year-old cousin Katie and 8 weeks since we buried Grandad.

Take care- so sorry to hear about your nan.
