    Oh YAY!! :D Extra little something for my fluffies this Christmas! Thank you! :D

    Edit: Changed my mind! I'm going to use it to buy extra food for Hedgehog Rescue Dublin who are really struggling at the moment. Spreading the Christmas Cheer!

    Sounds great. Where's that then? I ordered some bits online but could top up, especially since little dog was groomed yesterday to look like a scalded turkey instead of a canine.

    Was in the Longford one today stocking up on cat food :) I was happy with the 12+3 free pouches! Kovu loves the Premiere tins too.

    There's a lot of good offers on up till Christmas Eve :D there's also a new brand of wet food coming out which looks decent, comparable to Lily's kitchen apparently. Be worth keeping an eye out for :D

    I'll have to heck them out though, our indoor two are so fussy though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,528 ✭✭✭ShaShaBear

    That'd be perfect! Thanks :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    so maybe i don't have my secret santas present after all... i left it on the table and Lotso decided he was to have it and brought it upstairs and ripped off the tags! He is mocking me with it as we speak!

    I was sly and bought two of my present so I could give one to Opie lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    i wouldn't mind but i had bought him 2 toys and some treats but nooooo he needed to have my poor secret santas gift!

    just been to pets corner so have another present and lotso is at daycare today so its safe!


  • Registered Users Posts: 94 ✭✭LittleMissDiva


    mine went into the post this morning :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,762 ✭✭✭Knine


    All mine are packed & ready to go. Probably won't be in the post office till later in the week though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭ene


    ok mine has been sent- it is coming from the UK so will be a bit longer to arrive!

    Just to let the person who got me know- i won't be able to open it with Lotso until the 27th December as i have asked for it to be shipped to my mums house (it wouldn't be fair for someone to ship it to uk).

    Oddly enough I've shipped more than one parcel to the UK that ended up costing less than one of slightly more weight within Ireland! Sometimes I think they make it up as they go along :p

    On a side note, I thought I had mine ready, but I just thought of one more thing I'd love to add. Hopefully The Human doesn't decide to make an appearance and spoil it for me!

    I was hoping to get mine today too but I have tonsilitis and an upset tummy! :(
    I'll venture out tomorrow after a day of rest.

    Ross' parcell arrived yesterday. Seeing how he showed a very strong interest in it and how his nose was twitching in every direction, I guess there might be something edible in there. So i predict Ross will be a very happy fellow on the 23rd :D

    Three musketeers poppy gizmo duke got their present yesterday... First prezzie under the tree... Thanks secret Santa...

    Haha yeah Rosie is the same, i have her present under the tree and she is very excited about it, spends most of her time sitting and barking at it.

    She fell asleep beside it last night, I may have under estimated how excited she is about Secret Santa!! :):):)
