Merry Christmas to everyone here. I have dropped in from time to time, but not had much inclination to post. Too bluddy hot!!!

Kezz, wonderful news about the degree, I wish you all the very best of luck with the course. Remember to keep an eye out for the postie next week because something special is on it's way to you from a lovely Facebook friend!

Sorry to hear about Pauline, I do hope it's nothing too serious.

Take care over the festive season everyone, drive carefully if travelling.
A very quiet Chrissy here. Haven't heard from my son at all. His father, my ex, sent a card written in his own handwriting from both of them, but I would have liked to hear from my son himself. I guess I shouldn't be surprised seeing he barely acknowledged the gift I sent to him, along with my fathers 2nd World War medals that he wanted.

Sorry for the downer.............anyways, take care all and enjoy the festive season.

Lily my son asked what I was getting for chrissy and I said a surprise was coming for me next week. Also someone is sending me a fake designer handbag 🙂
Big hugs to the old girl Pauline 🙂 Get well soon yr putty cat needs you 🙂
Sorry to hear about yr son Lily little so and so!!

Hugs to everyone and hope Christmas Eve wasnt too hectic for you all.......just kicking back with family had a fresh salad home made roll for dinner and a stubby.........geez been so hot and of course its been full on at mothers..........yes we are having tomorrow off and i might have Boxing day off:).......we keep it pretty simple for Christmas.......sort of feel guilty if we go over the top so to speak when so many have so little
