Tad ready in the garden u were in and waiting for

2. I hope you get your chairs in time for Christmas. We paid £99 extra for a premium service so we got everything unpacked, assembled and then all the packaging taken away. The table is really heavy. It weighs 120kgs without the steel legs so Colin would have struggled with it himself. As it was he had to help the 2 delivery men with it as they were struggling  but that was the reason we paid the extra. So maybe that's why they rectified things pretty quickly. We haven't had anybody for a meal yet since we got it but then there's nowhere to go & relax afterwards. Thank goodness we didn't have to wait for the new recliner chairs. At least we have somewhere to sit but there are only 2 so no use for having visitors. We are back in Aberdeen on Wednesday as Colin has an appointment for a Barium Swallow...apparently there is a fault with the machine in Raigmore. This time we are going on the bus which takes a little longer but it's free. It will be another early start as we have to be at the bus station in Inverness by 0700. I couldn't find any cheap train tickets. How is Graham keeping now? And did your blood levels ever come back up to normal? xx

Hi Linda, are you going to stay underwater now & finish the Gold BDs? Shame you had a starfish missed. I found the gold octopus came pretty quickly but the gold starfish was so slow every time. Re the frog breeding you do have to count the ghostly frogs. I have always had to count mine but I actually emailed FL support about it in the summer time as I was trying to help Claire who had just started the regular BDs and I didn't want to give her incorrect information. I still have the reply in my emails confirming the ghostly frogs DO count. If you haven't needed to include yours then I don't understand why that would be. It should be the same for everyone. I can't believe it's only 2 weeks until Christmas now. I am so disorganised this year. Ben is still building the new fireplace, it's starting to irritate me that it's taking so long, he started 2 weeks ago but is only here sporadically. He said he'd be here at 10am today & turned up at 1pm & left about 4.30pm. Aaargh! The oak bookcase, unit & coffee table are all in the hall, the spare bedrooms are full of stuff that came out of the living room, I have nowhere to lay out parcels that I've bought. I'm going to have to wrap and then deliver each newly wrapped parcel immediately. Colin can't start laying the new flooring until Ben is finished because he's making a mess with dust, and there's little bits of stone flying everywhere & I'm at the stage where I'm thinking it's there even any point in putting a tree up? x

at least I am moving on with one of the vases!!!

like me happened for the other vase's stingray I was so happy

for stingray also you can try Dahlia's garden?

2. Well done on your unlimited icy pot....I was quite disappointed not to win one myself as I had done the easy quest 26 times. Re your frog breeding you have attracted 149 tadpole, 149 froglet, 146 frogs plus 3 ghostly frogs which takes your total frog count to 149 so I'm afraid you wont be due any underwater. You have spotted 128 tadpole, 118 froglet, 104 frogs plus 5 ghostly frogs in other ponds bringing your total up to 109. You have only attracted 101 land frogs so you will be due more - in fact the next one you attract should lay spawn. At least you don't have to go down the route of spotting lots of tadpole, froglets & frogs in other gardens. I am just going to take the dogs out now before it gets dark. Have a lovely evening xx

Hi Linda & Happy Birthday! Hope you had a lovely afternoon tea & I'm sure you'll have fun with the family later.  Yes the tablets started working right away & I do feel better thanks. I was at the nurse this am, just for routine tests following a new diagnosis of hypertension. My BP was 146/95 but I had been rushing around all morning. I have to keep a BP diary for 3 weeks so I'll check it myself shortly. She did bloods & a ECG. She never mentioned anything about getting results so I assume they will phone if there's any issues like a raised cholesterol. It's our last line dance class tonight - the hall is hosting the panto the next 2 weeks - so we are having 4 hours instead of 2 & dancing all our requests plus having a buffet night. I've had Oak Furniture Land here for 1.5 hours as 2 of the new dining chairs were unassembled as there was a bag of bolts missing on delivery. It took them ages to put them together - 8 bolts in each chair! I am enjoying the holiday calendar. I have 246 stardust so am just using SF to attract what I need instead of having to hunt in busy gardens from the WL guide. I still need to complete my tree & I also have a snowman half built, not that I need to b

Morning Linda, you do have a busy week ahead, but pleasurable as well, meeting friends, lunch, afternoon tea, meal out etc. Sounds lovely. I am hoping Ben will come today to start building the new fireplace. He has cut all the stone now. Once he has finished Colin can get cracking on laying the new oak flooring. We were going to go herringbone but Colin decided straight planks would be much quicker & easier so that's what we've ordered. I really don't care. I just want the room finished. We ordered the made to measure curtains last week. They have gone up in price by £82 since we got a quote on 22 July! At least we should have them before Christmas. I'm just going to Tesco to do some shopping now. Maybe see you later x

Just heading to bed.....but yes, attracting the winter wildlife for the calendar in your own garden unlocks your fairylights as well as spotting. Night night x
