COLD DARK ROOM

[Moozillion]

I'm a bit slow sometimes but how did sending holiday cards turn into gifts? I'm confused
I didn't send any packages. Sorry guys.

The cards and the gifts are 2 separate events that just sort of grew.
The gifts is a Secret Santa sort of thing, and the people who wanted to participate let Adam know, and he drew names out of a Fez to match people up! Since there's only about 8 of us participating in the Secret Santa (code word TORTOISE- I forget what the initials stand for- it's one of Adam's creations! ) and the names will be on the return addresses anyway, we sort of KNOW who our "secret" Santas are.
I'm pretty sure the gift exchange is now closed, but anyone can participate in the card exchange.
I hope this helps clear things up!

Cesur is a very handsome fellow, even if he is easily scared!
Rosie is just a very small cat- weighs 6 lbs (2.7 kg). We rescued her as a tiny feral kitten who was the runt of the litter and abandoned by her mother. She is actually the smartest of our 3 cats and is very quick and sneaky!!! She has adopted me as "her" person, and acts afraid of my husband for no clear reason- he is the kindest, gentlest person I know, and I ADORES cats- he's the one who got me started on them!

im dog person, but cats seam to be a me person?!

Yeah It wasn't exactly panto. Someone's eyes get gauged out in one bit!

Dr Who's son David Troughton was in it as well as Anthony Sher. Very good

Now stood nose to armpit on a packed train home Only 2 trains an hour instead of the usual 4 and only 8 carriages instead of 12.

Going out for a curry tonight

it's no problem at all, and would pay it 100 times over as it's totally worth it . i just hope the same hasn't happened in other countries??

How horrid!
No, it didn't happen here.
Must be because of the content, perhaps ?

Or maybe it says "TORTOISE" on the package?
