Well, I guess it's not too bad, unless they start cutting up your lunch into "fun" shapes again. Lol

No, but it could happen any time. :D

I know what you mean. :sad: Actually I am "bying" chicken from oxfam unwrapped and was thinking, perhaps one would cheer you up, so I clicked the " send a PDF with it". Wasn't lucky filling in your name, sorry :sad:

Oh, that's a cool idea. Going to take a look at it. :)
Thank you so much. Chickens are great. :)

Sounds as though islanders had rough days all around.
Sorry to hear this.:sad:
And to add my bit to the sad pile.

Bag choice, for cat's final visit to veterinarian--
deadly ponies, mr fill n zip, forest NZ deer nappa.

Returned home with empty carrier. And heavy heart. But shared moments to very end.
Then confused dog searched for his lost fur brother.
Goodbye, kitty.:crybaby:

I am so sorry. Hugs to you and dog. :hugs::hugs:
Goodbye, kitty. :crybaby:

I'm so sorry, Ludmilla. A sudden loss is always difficult for a family... no time to get used to the idea of saying goodbye.
Thank you Elaine for your kind words.

just a theoretical question: IF I bought a bag for my husband and a keyholder for my daughter would that mean that I am too weak for ban island or don't these theoretical bag/ keyholder items count...?
Possibly.
However, the island you have landed on is not Ban Island.
It is full of enablers, however frugal.

Have to agree with Murphy - no ban island here. :D
Also, gifts (for others or received from others) or bags bought with gifted money do never count. ;)
 
HA! super great!
So, on the bright side, I finally converted my husband from ongoing enabling me into beeing into bags for himself- HA! My money is safe now, I got him a coachbag at the Ingolstadt village and now he is browsing the internet for coach bags. Daughter is happy with her keyholder, dog didn't get a thing but was carried around in a buggy stroller [sic! they wanted us to do so, I have picture proof] so is quite satisfied as well. I got chocolate, so everybody is happy.

No new years eve plans here either. Have been refusing celebrating that for over 40 years now and won't change. I simply don't get the idea of nye.?

Sounds like you have made excellent progress!
I call NYE amateur night. People who don't drink all year feel compelled to go out and act stupidly.
The hubbie and I treat ourselves to expensive beer and nibbles we don't indulge in the rest of the year and watch movies.

Yes, they do! And over here the people love firework and fire crackers... :(
Ah, beer. I can see the eldest brewery on world from my window- do you need a picture for tomorrow?

Ingolstadt Village is nice for shopping - but was it not very crowded so shortly after Christmas?
Glad you found something nice.

Ugh. NYE. I do not like it. Fireworks are ok - to look at. Never go out. I am never in the mood for going out on NYE.

Will post it tomorrow :smile: it's already evening over here, I hope the weather will be fine for a good picture.
I'd love to see a pic! :)

It was ok, but we were there at 10 o'clock and left at 12 o'clock- then it became more crowded. Additionally to that, there was a 12 % payback promotion going on I missed:(

I'll post, promised!

Hello, islanders.:wave:

VERY glad this isn't "ban island"--never made sense to me. Seems way to sabotage self & feel weird guilt over nice bags.:confused1:

Dog & I walked a lot today. And discussed life, death, whatnot. Then watched very interesting squirrels. And 1 of us peed on trees.:p
I bought white lilies.
And am grateful for everyone's kind posts about cat.:heart:

I like New Year. But not most parties.
Which usually lack proper amounts of ice cream & face painting, imo.
We spend time trimming trees, clearing dead garden bits.
Preparing clean slate. For year to come.

Also have time capsule tradition.
Write what liked about year, what disliked, plans for upcoming year. And what have learned.
We do this together. Reading words from previous year. Then sealing new ones into container. For next New Year.
Hopefully, see progress & good outweighing bad. But not always.;)

Glad many are enjoying post-Christmas sales & colorful accessories.
Helps move along these grey days into Spring.:tup:
