Oh no, I am so sorry that I have missed so much. I will have to go back and read the posts so that I can get updated with everything. On the plus side I am so happy that Cinder has made a friend. That is awesome and so very sweet.

Last week Monday I had to finally accept that Milly was not doing well (Old age) and we had to make the decision to put her out of her misery. The only consolation that I have is that she is now with her brother and they are most probably having an awesome time catching up on the other side of the rainbow. Scooby on the other hand I cannot decide if he is missing her or living his best life because of all the attention that he has to himself. ? Little Kahli and Phoenix are both growing so well. Jarrod really take very good care of Phoenix (bearded dragon) and loves him to bits. kahli on the other hand is still skittish around me, but it is okay as she will live for about 20years so I have plenty of time to work on her. Lol, I put around 6 - 8 crickets in her enclosure two days ago and there is not a single one left. She loves to hunt her food.

Holding thumbs that everything goes well with Jessica. She is such a brave girl and you are a fantastic MOM.
I am so sorry for your loss..
They are in a better place now.
it is us here on earth that feel the pain. Not them.... ❤️?❤️?❤️?❤️???

Last time I mentioned it Linda slapped my hand and said she'd get to it in good time. . . well, folks, there are only 42 more days until Christmas. That doesn't give us much time for the cards that go across the ocean.

Haha! 2019 Christmas Card folks watch your mail! Mine went out last week so head up! Anyone else want a very special/odd Christmas card just let me know to pass on some well needed holiday spirit
I had to just buy some this year. Hopefully by this weekend. I actually like them though ?

How are you doing now?
OK thanks Carol. Feeling a bit like Goldilocks. I had the first dressing removed on Monday - they thought the wound was looking too wet so went back again today. This time it was too dry, so I have another dressing which should soften all the dried blood etc to make it easier to remove. Maybe next time it will just right.
They said the graft was looking fine in the middle but looks like the skin has died around the edge. Disappointed about that and have to go again on Tuesday to see what will happen next. I may be wearing a mask long after covid has been kicked into touch!

All these issues are so exhausting. And it is amazing how most of the homeowners just don't want to get involved. But yeah, I will come and sort your's out the same way it looks like I have to sort mine out by.........By shooting them all and taking over their land! Mwahahahaha
perfect!

So sorry about Milly, not an easy decision to make but even harder to see them struggling.:(

This was for the skin cancer on your neck? Sheesh! It must've been a pretty big chunk they took out. I'm sending you a BIG electronic hug and wishing you get well soon!!! I'm almost back to normal, with just a bit of stiffness until my motor gets going.

Thanks Yvonne, the cancer was on my face and the graft was taken from my neck. I haven't seen the wound yet, I'm a bit scared of that and they told it wasn't a pretty sight at the moment but assured me they would sort it out all for me one way or another. Glad to hear you're on the mend - my leg with the plates in it from my break last year only aches now if it's cold and damp ( most of the year here) so use extra layers and heat pads if you find the same.

who put hedgehogs in the bonfires???
I’ll come over there and straighten them out right now! Is this true???? WT*...????
Sometimes people over here start building bonfires to burn their ' Guys' on for 5th Nov far too early, then hedgehogs come along and think they have found a cosy place to hibernate. Sadly unless people check at the bottom of their pyres before lighting them, hedgehogs are in danger of being killed or badly injured. ?
