    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and discover they were the big things.

      It was AMAZING!!! It's easy enough to do, Steve got me membership for a year (about £100) and included in that was a free wolf walk for 2, you are in a group of about 15/20 but you get plenty of time to ask questions (and debate in my case!) and to meet and greet the wolves.. Then you get to watch them being fed and more talks..

    Happiness consists not in having much, but i being content with little.

    Happy Easter everyone! I am using Easter as my New Year and have joined a gym and am trying to eat healthier too, feeling positive but haven't been to the gym yet and only 2 days into eating better! So watch this space...

      Thanks everyone, I'm really excited about it at the moment and enjoying being good about what I eat, went to a charity footie match and ignored the food and booze!!

      All went well, but have my first full session on Thursday, that may not be as easy.. But at least I'm looking forward to it more now...

  9. chaliepud

    I'm watching Secret Eaters which should be putting me off snacking, but I'm feeling really hungry now!!

  10. chaliepud

    I've just discovered houmous, mmmmmmmmm...

      I'm getting hungry just by thinking about it!

    3. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      I know, I'm struggling a little with hunger pangs so its good to find and discover more healthy snacks as would be too easy to grab a biscuit or a bag of crisps! Found some lovely thin crisp Ryvita flat breads to dip into the houmous too..

    4. bobblybear

      bobblybear

      Houmous is delish! You can get all sorts of flavours as well!

    It's my beautiful daughters 12th birthday today, I decorated the house last night and this morning she had pancakes and maple syrup then Lindt bunnies for her breakfast, such a shame she had to go to school!! Still, we'll celebrate properly tonight. :)

      Oh, and not to take your pet dogs with you!

      This is sounding more dangerous by the minute!

    4. chaliepud

      chaliepud

      Definitely would be more dangerous if I took Obi, and not necessarily for him!

  14. chaliepud

    Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle my life's problems at once.

      Sounds good, good luck!

      chaliepud

      Tempting, but no... An Australian Cattle Dog is the next best thing though - part dingo!!!

  16. chaliepud

    Much as I dislike the cold I wish it would get colder so that this awful rain would stop, I am fed up with washing dogs and towels twice a day!!!

    1. Inver

      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 :D

    3. Athena

      Athena

      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? :P:)
