I had forgotten that you did this last year. Looking forward to tomorrow’s along with my single chocolate from my other advent calendar. Thanks Northerner.
 
This will be me now - today while hoovering I somehow managed to suck up the Hoover power cable, and by the time I'd pulled it out it had chewed all the plastic off and bared the wires 😱😱😱
Amazingly it didn't trip out the circuit breakers for the whole house, I must have managed not to earth it and luckily had the sense not to touch the damaged bit before I whipped the plug out quick...

So now will have to see whether hubby wants to try to chop out the duff bit of wire and repair it, or whether he'll buy me a cordless vacuum cleaner for Christmas! :D

(It wasn't deliberate sabotage, honest... 🙄)

Jewellery, books, ... Much better than a vacuum.

That bloke in the photo needs to put a bit of effort in rather than tickling the floor and he appears to have started in the middle of the room. :D
 
I am off to hover (meant hoover-as it’s not a broom-stick that I have)The cordless thingy I have has about 20 mins charge and I can make it round the house as long as I don’t move anything(but why would you)

Good morning! 🙂 Hope everyone has been doing their stretching exercises in preparation for opening today's door 🙂

Day 2: Crossing a field with a large dog on your shoulders (you'll probably need to buddy-up for this one, otherwise double the calories used)

Calories:
15 mins - 43
1 hour - 179

My reply can not be printed Northerner lol, I will just eat less carbs
 
I am NOT showing that to our dog. He gets enough ideas about being able to sit on laps as it is! :D
 
I think this is one hey need to include in crufts. A new agility competition, where the pairs of people have to run around the course, over the see-saw... through the weave posts... while keeping their pooch balanced.

The ultimate three-legged (eight legged??) race!
