Hi Maddie!
I've only got to work til Thursday and Wednesday is half day- Office Christmas dinner :-)

Good Evening Everyone.

Did you miss me?

I've been working hard, and still have right up until next Friday to go.

I may not get back for a few days. This thread is a beggar to get onto.

Hope everyone is well and warm.

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Afternoon everyone!
last night I couldn't get internet connection so as a last resort I watched Strictly! I wanted Jason to win.
I liked your tree Marilyn.
Dermot, I suppose people put knitted jackets on hot water bottles because otherwise they're too hot.
I've nearly finished my Christmas preparations.My niece's baby was due yesterday and it hasn't put in an appearance yet!

Marilyn it is a lovely tree you have. I noticed the date because this year 2012 my passport runs out. my train pass runs out and my bus pass runs out I hope I dont run out of time lol

I hope you enjoy your Christmas George at your sons. I am off on Saturday to my daughters in Hayes for Christmas looking forward to it. noisey but fun.
My Granddaughter OH is collecting me, he insisted he came and collected me. he is 35 on Christmas day, so we celebrate that as well on Christmas day two celebration on one day .

Hope all my friends on here have a really lovely Christmas plenty of laughter and fun. ? dont over do the drink.we dont want you falling all over the place and hurting yourself.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS FROM ME TO YOU.

Hi Rita,

Tree has been corrected ! LOL .... see I told you I nicked it from last Year :-)

Hazel.... that's the size tree both my sons would have....when they where little I always had a fake tree up until Christmas Eve ,then when the real ones where reduced on Christmas Eve I bought one and a big one at that .....So they both only insist on buying as big a tree that their room allows !

George.... have a great time at your sons, and to anyone else being treated for Christmas dinner .
Where's Foggy going for Christmas dinner ????? hmm Lady friend !

Not forgetting our Stevey, Bob, & Dermot.....hope your all going to be spoilt for Christmas

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Well I have to crack on and close this lappy of mine as its distracting me from preparing this Christmas dinner Mawh...

Hi all freezing here frost is going now. Not going out until later with my friend so have time to do some wrapping..

Pauline liked what you put. I am working to get as big as the tree :-D I for got to ask someone to my tree out the shed, but as i am not here anyway not worth putting it up anyway.

I am trying to do all my washing and drying today be for tomorrow.

Love the tree Marilyn and thank you for putting it on :-)

Linda hope you having a great day in London :-)

Mo glad Roly is getting better :-)

Hi Cath and Mo hope you are not too cold and not so busy today :-)


~~~~~~~~~~~to everyone keep warm :-) :-)

Hazelx

Hi all who have been upand around so far
Three of us with bad backs eh? I hope mine is going just taken Ibroprufen, I remember when Crookes developed that drug with Boots as their owners. Many many years ago, prescription only and the new wonder drug for arthrittus. Now anyone can buy it and not too expensive either if you buy chemists own brand.

Cath we are going to The Da Vinci exhibition in The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. Booked tickets when they first told of it on breakfast TV and they were selling fast. Some on e-bay are now up for over £100 not nice and certainly not fair. Different if you can't go and want to get the face value for them but for a profit is out of order. Off my soap box now.

Clear and bright but still freezing here Hubby has shut of the outside taps before we get a leak !!

Bye for now Linda xxx :-) :-) :-) <3 <3 <3

Hi Pauline,
hope your back improves soon, you're very brave even contemplating letting "Fluffy" anywhere near you lol, lol.
Mine is improving all the time but don't think I'll be doing a jig at Christmas :-D

Cath, you sneaked in while I was typing................ must learn to type quicker. :-D :-D

Morning everyone.

It's freezing again here but the sun might come out later and melt the ice.

Hope you have a lovely time at your son's, George.

Stephen, get Fluffy Paws ready.......... because my back's killing me.

Rita, I wanted Chelsee to win but my hubby had his money on Harry........... so I'm pleased he won.

Nice tree, Marilyn. Hope the meal goes well today.

What exhibition is that, Linda?

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm Dermot? :-D :-D

Shelly, wear more clothes!! What happened to your avatar? Who nicked little legs?

Lovely tree, Hazel, looks massive. Edit: the tree looks massive........... not Hazel!!

Mo, I think you're right, Marilyn has led Pat astray. :-) :-)

Morning all,
hope everyone is well and warm.
Stephen thank you for all the info, great stuff :-D Am going through it all and checking it out. Strange how William Henry Marsh didn't die on the ship but was invalided out with vision problems only to die 5 years later, I'm nosey and want to find out more about that ;-) ;-) Might order his death cert to find out cause of death.
Mo I'm glad Roly is on the mend in time for Christmas :-)
Had a busy day yesterday and didnt have time to get on computer, just lots of last minute bits and bobs and some tidying up.
Its very cold this morning but the sun is out and the howling wind has gone.
Have a great day all,

<3 <3 <3

Cath xx

Morning everyone, like Rita has said, very frosty, but the sun is trying to shine, so, going to be a brilliant day.

I would like to wish you all a merry Christmas now as I am going to my boys for the holiday, so
Have a brilliant Christmas everyone and do eat and drink too much :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

George :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Morning All !

Bright and frosty here this morning..........lovely.

Shelly.......wrap up and stay warm......don't want you being unwell for Santa coming :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Dermot....Jackets on Hot water Bottles....that's just in case they fall from the bed and begin to feel the cold ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Off to my Great Nephews house this morning, finish off what I started yesterday. His children, my Great, Great Neices and Nephews are so excited about Christmas it was a joy to watch them. I had them singing at one point and that was magic. :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D And although Santa was 'Stuck up the Chimmney' I assured them he would be out in time for Christmas. Children are fantastic.

Hope all are well. And for those with aching limbs and sore backs......

'Fluffy Paws' is on stand-by if you need him ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Keep well keep safe , keep smiling :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Marilyn lovely tree but we are not going back in time it will be 2012. lol

Rita

love you. <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hi everyone white frost everywhere this morning the worst we have had this month so far.
well Harry won the strickly come dancing I am pleased he did. although I would liked to have seen Chelseey win it , she was so brave coming out on the floor on her own and dancing.
I dont know what I will look at now on a Saturday and sunday night ? . next week sees the last in the series of Merlin. oh dear think I will need a tissue to cry. lol

My son was coming over to day but was taken ill yesterday and had the emergency doctor give him a pain killing tablets. he had a tooth filled on Friday and has been in pain ever since.I was looking forward to him coming over as I have not seen him for three weeks..
to think this time next week will be Christmas day.I am looking forward to seeing my Great Grandchildren have not seen them since June.

Must get myself something to eat now have had no breakfast as yet.

take care

Morning Everyone,

Just wondered as I stride out in the early morning cold while many others are still in bed - what is the purpose of knitted jackets for hot water bottles?

Don't all rush with explanations!

Morning all
Deep frost here this morning. Hope everyone is keeping warm.
Must do Christmas today, some more washing and ironing too.

Off to London tomorrow hopefully it will be warm enough for us to have a walk around, before the exhibition at 4:00.

Must see my Mum this week as she is at my sisters over Christmas and I have hubby's family here. As well as all our children and their other halves on Christmas Day.

I too need a few fresh food things Shelly, can't get them too early or be going out last minute either.

Have a good day everyone
