General Chat

Hi all,
I've been trying to get on to this thread for a while, but to no avail. Now 11.30 pm on Boxing Day I've managed it.
Just come home from Eindhoven. Our granddaughter drove us there and back and we had a very enjoyable day, not only presents but having my children and grandchildren together was nice.
Our flat looks as though there has been an earthquake through it as I have just left everything for a few days.
My help should come tomorrow and will sort out things for me.
See you tomorrow - If I can find the thread again!

Hi all,
Well Xmas is over and now we have the New Year to get through. I can only come up for air after my birthday.
Today I had my help in the house and she did lots of ironing for me.
We are supposed to get more snow again tomorrow. I wonder whether it will go on until April like last year. Our children gave us lots of different things for feeding the birds so they won't go hungry!
Now will do something else and say til tomorrow.

Sylvia sounds like you had a lovely family Christmas. Like you I have been feeding the birds all over Christmas and have had lots of different birds in the garden, but wish the buzzard would stop sitting in the tree at the bottom of the garden!!

Well all our visitors have now gone home, have cooking to do for a party we have been invited to tomorrow, the invite from hubby's niece, came with could I please make some of my finger foods, even went as far as to say which ones she wanted making!! Still I enjoy cooking so happy to do so off now to buy the bits I need.

Thank you all so much for the beautiful Christmas cards I received, will send out thank yous to you all next week.

Weather here awful today, rain all night and thick fog this morning, bring back the frost and the sunshine!!

Take care all of you

Hugs Joxx

As we were away some of our cards didn't get to us before we went. So belated thank yous to Janet and Liz for their cards.

Hi all,
Well I've been home the last days because of the ice on the roads. I won't dare go out on my scooter so Johan is getting the shopping. My neighbour wants to do some shopping for me but Johan is just as good. It gets him out of the house for a while too.
The fireworks have been going off since Xmas Day. You ought to see what these fireworks cost and just to let them off all week must cost somebody a fortune.
If the police catch them they will get into trouble, as they should only let the fireworks off New Year's Eve.
I feel sorry for the dogs and cats. I once saw my dog go into a fit through a bang from a firework. So sad.
Johan and I will watch television tomorrow and we'll be on our own. The children will come on New Year's Day where we will all eat olie balls (doughnuts) and apple beignets. Once again fattening foods, and then over a few days my birthday. Oh heavens how much should I weigh?
Have a nice evening tomorrow.
Sylvia - HAPPY NEW YEAR

Good idea not to venture out on icy paths Sylvia, and noice to have a few momwnts to yourself while Johan does the shopping. We too are on our own New Years Eve which we quite enjoy really, then at midnight we go outside and welcome in the New Year with our neighbours. We are only in a small cul de sac but nobody else stirs only us. They will probably let off a couple of rockets as well.

No firworks here so far but will probably be plenty tomorrow evening.

Happy New year to you Sylvia and to all our little group of card makers.

Evening Ladies.
Sylvia, like you we will be spending New Year on our own we always do. Kids are all coming over for tea on New Years Day. No fireworks so far, but will be plenty tomorrow!!

Just got back from babysitting my youngest granddaughter, time flies as she is now 9 months old, crawling and pulling herself up on the furniture, they are not babies for long.

Happy New Year to you all.

Can I also say that, as a fan of recycling, if anyone doesn't want to keep my card but would find anything on it useful please feel free to use it again.
