Their red petals look so spectacular and I actually like how they're not completely red, it makes the red petals which they do have stand out even more.  This is amazing, how proud you must be :bravo1:No, don't ever feel bad about choosing other names.  When we suggest names on here we are just floating ideas which I think helps us to get nearer to a final name.   I would hate for you to use one of my suggestions just to be polite, the names need to be right <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />And what an hpnour that was <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/fun/m0157.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":dance:" title="Dance    :dance:" data-shortname=":dance:" />None <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />  you will need socks, as you'll be wearing these trousers....<img src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/OIP.z7affayD5RXaiT7MwIQmRgHaHa?pid=Api&rs=1" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="width: 267px" />Just think how festive these will look teamed with flat ugly boots and a very high neck jumper <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/msmile/pozitive/m1242.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":popcorn:" title="Popcorn    :popcorn:" data-shortname=":popcorn:" />   I think Boris will review the Tiers on 16th Dec.   Hes also said we can mix with "bubbles" of three other households over Christmas for five days.... because Covid doesn't exist over Christmas <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />, please excuse my sarcasm.Thanks for filling me in, its interesting to hear how you're coping with it all.The Hairdressers have just re-opened again after the national lockdown,  I do feel for my own hairdressers, they've been so careful and adapted everything and yet, they still keep getting closed down.   The very worse thing is that  now when I go, I am not allowed to have a complimentary coffee with my haircut anymore <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/en/t3737.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":jk:" title="J/K    :jk:" data-shortname=":jk:" /> I wouldn't mind but as we get nearer to Christmas they also serve mince pies and are not allowed to do that either this year <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0208.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="lol    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Our Dentists  are all closed, except for emergencies.  This does concern me,  as mouth cancers go undetected and can be picked up by dentists.... sorry to sound so dramatic.   Its just that the repercussions of this pandemic are massive.Are we aiming for 3,555?    I've forgotten what the goal is already <img src="http://yoursmiles.org/tsmile/crazy/t3724.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":crazyme:" title="Crazyme    :crazyme:" data-shortname=":crazyme:" /></blockquote>
