Dog God.

That should be my new name :P

Or Chione Godess of Winter.

Hi all!

Hi Lorraine, how are you doing?

I’m ok thanks. Just home from spending the day with my sister and the cat. How are you?

Are they both doing ok? Did you have to walk home in the cold? I'm trying to be alright. I naughtily opened the present Buttons sent me because I guessed it was chocolates and I couldn't wait and didn't want to go out to get snacks!

Chocolates are a good idea! Always a good mood booster. I hope you are ok.
Yes they are both ok. Our flats are only 4 doors away from each other, so I was hardly out in the cold for long. It was cold though!
Cat was very mischievous today, but so adorable with it.

What was Molly getting up to? I have one sleeping cat on my lap right now and the other one is sitting next to me.

Aww that must be nice. Molly was trying to attack my sister’s knitting, and trying to steal our food. She was also playing catch with her toy mice in between naps.

Haha! Kittens are right little mischief makers. My cats are 8 years old now but they still attack me when I have food so I have to eat in the kitchen and keep the door shut.

Cats have no shame. Are both your cats quite calm then? Molly is excitable and has her mad moments! Joys of having a kitten.

When cats get older they calm down. Mine were very hyper when they were kittens. Now they only get hyper when they want food or when they're fighting with each other. Enjoy the kitten stage and then she might become more of a calm cuddler when she's older!

She tolerates cuddles and will snuggle up beside you to sleep.

I’m attempting my Christmas shopping tomorrow. Not looking forward to it. Meeting my dad for a coffee, so I’ll definitely make it out tomorrow. I’ve been so bad for planning to go into town but then changing my mind.

Do you have a lot of things to buy?

Quite a few things, but I know roughly what I’m getting, so that’s not too bad.
It’s just going through the centre of Glasgow at this time of year. It’s so busy.

Yeah I know what you mean. There's not even really a quieter period through the day at this time of the year is there? Maybe focusing on the practical things you have to do and ticking them off your mental or physical list will help you to get through.

Yeh that’s a good idea. I’ve already written a list. I’m meeting my dad in costa, so that will be a nice treat.

Are you meeting your Dad before or after your shopping? Hope you have a nice time with him and don't get too stressed with your shopping.

I’ll probably do a bit of shopping before I meet him. He’s not the best person to shop with.

Are you up to much? It’s another cold evening. I hope you are nice and warm. I have my onesie on and the heating on.

I don't really like shopping with anyone, prefer to do it alone no matter who the person is.

I'm going to try and do some reading for a bit soon. Got a purring kitty watching over me and the heating on so I'm warm and content enough. What kind of onesie do you have? I used to have an elephant one with a big trunk which was fun.

The one I’m wearing just now is a pink one with snowflakes and a fluffy hood. I also have a giraffe, dog and penguin. They’re great at this time of year. An elephant one sounds cool.

When will RYL chat be fixed...?

Or anyway.... if anyone's feeling chatty tonight, I'm your person... for maybe an hour or so.

I think that your question about chat would be best asked in forum questions since nobody here would really know the answer. Also people are using the discord server now plus the old chat doesn't work with mobiles or tablets unless you are using puffin browser.

Most of that doesn't actually mean a thing to me.... I knew something was happening with it, but that sounds complicated!

Showing my age maybe :-p

Basically if you go to the forum questions there's a new link to chat. Also the chat link at the top doesn't work on tablets or mobiles unless you have a specific browser.

Does anyone use it?

I don't know. Any chat questions are best in forum questions since none of this thread regulars use chat.

Ok, was just wondering.

Good morning people :)

Lillie <3
Start packing!

<3 I have nothing much to pack into yet! My boxes are at work.

I do however need to take a gigantic suitcase full to the charity shop and 2 bags. And put out the rubbish from my starting to clear out last night.

And then I need to go check out 2 or 3 second hand appliance and sofa shops because I have no ability to keep food cold, wash my pants or sit in comfort atm :P

And then I need to do as much of anything on my to do list as possible.

Gargh!!

How're you?

Good luck with the move Lillie. I hope you are happy in your new home.

Hope the move goes smoothly.

I’m in costa waiting on my dad. The town is hectic, but I’ve got my sister’s Christmas present so far. A cook book she wanted and unicorn slippers.

Dad is here. Bye.

Hey guys

Hi Beckie, how are you doing?

Stressed! Lol!
My own doing though, I need to learn to organise myself and stop procrastinating!

How are you?

Hi all. I’m back from town. Done my shopping. I have a few things still to get, but I can get that from shops nearby. I won’t have to go into town again.

Sorry you are stressed Beckie.

Life is too stressful and procrastination is too easy! Can you have little rewards for getting things done?

Glad you managed to get your shopping done today Lorraine.

I'm ok just tired.

Thanks Lindsay.

Glad to be back home.

Well done for getting some shopping done Lorraine!

Rewards are a good idea!

Thanks Beckie.

Remember to have breaks too and do something you enjoy. You can get through this!

Thanks Lorraine! :)

I’ve written down everything I’ve bought and what I have still to buy, so I feel like I’m getting somewhere.

What’s everyone up to this evening? I have some sewing to do for a gift for someone.

I'm not doing much, just glad to be home

Evening all *tips hat* I had a great day with my parents, grandma and Zed exchanging presents and thanks to mum homemade meat and potato pie :)

Mums are great for homemade cooking. Glad you had a great day.
