I hope next Christmas will be happier for all of us on here!! I know mine has been a bit flat as mum was Christmas to us. She loved it so much and we always had to have lots of lights around the house and decs. This year I have only put the lights up in the kitchen and decorated a bit in here . Nothing like I usually do as mum liked a lot of twinkley bits around, tinsel over the mirrors etc.I have enjoyed having the holly on the plate rail around the kitchen. I would'nt normally put it up there but having taken all the plates down ready for after Christmas when OH is going to decorate it, it looked a bit bare. |

HI .I was so shocked to read from Frank about Shirls husband what a terrible shock for her I did not realise her ho was diabetic that explained the good advice she gave me.Thanks to Frank for your information .It seems a sad time for many of you with illness in the family and colds and coughs take care everyone. I coped well over Christmas but with some sadness and strain but soldered on thinking of Mel also Liz and I hope you get some good news with regard to your husband. |

Hope your evening goes off well Jane. What a nuisance about having all the family over and some of you off colour. Serve plenty of wine and perhaps they won't notice!! Hide your dirty books too!!!! Lol |

Poor Shirley and her family, I do feel sorry for them, what a horrid thing to have happened at any time, but Christmas...! What you say about the hospitals is so right Jane, A friend's D.I.L was on duty on Xmas day at 'The John Radcliffe' in Oxford, and she said that there wasn't a spare bed to be had even in Intensive Care!!! sounds completely crazy, and quite frightenening!!! Hope your OH is feeling better, he's rather going to have to!!!! as you say thought men are big babies when it come to illness, always worse than anyone else and ALWAYS currying sympathy!!! I'm glad your Xmas went off OK Sheila, the first Xmas without a loved family member is always very hard, as it must have been for you Mel. Have just got back from Barnstable, a new camera for OH and a new watch for me, plus a Sainsbury shop!! all in all a pretty good day! No 'dirty books' though Frank! blood pressure couldn't cope with that!!!! Old lady (100 yrs old!!) has been taken into hospital, Ambulance arrived and took her in (lucky there was a bed!) her son (lives in London) is a nice chap but tends to allow other people to take responsibility for his aged mother! just hope he comes down and sorts out her care, or better still a Care Home, as she is SO frail and simply doesn't know whether she's coming or going. She spent her early years in a Childrens Home and her Son promised that he would never put her in a home, but he didn't bargin for her living to such an old age. What of course, O.L doesn't realise is, that Homes in 1920 were VERY different to Homes in 2011. She sees them as Workhouses, so what can you do? it's just a sad situation all round. No news of Polly today, 'no news etc etc'! Nearly forgot, Dysonman tomorrow?!!!! |
