I wanted to share with you on the cold christmas morning to all my good friends on GR, my sad news that my dad is now peaceful and free from all pain and stress. I received a phone call from the hospital at 6.20am this morning that he had died peacefully in his sleep. I am full of sadness but at the same time it's a great relif to know he is not sufffering any more.

GOD BLESS YOU ALLxxxxxx

Hi Mel & Jane and everybody

Just called in to wish you all a Merry Christmas
Its hot and we are just about to start a traditional christmas lunch, the temp is 38Deg C I bet we are all wishing we were somewhere else
Not a lot has happened since I was last here, Im still working and retirement is becoming an elusive dream, I should of been planning this
this at sixty not sixty eight
I gave up smoking eight months ago still feel like a fag, however everybody says I look a lot better for it
Another hour and we will reach a respectable time to start drinking
Take care everyone and have a great christmas

I came on to tell you what I have been up to today, and lost the lot.

Will try to speak tomorrow, if not:-

"HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL" GOD BLESS. I'm having a drink for absent friends.

Fiona, how worrying for you. I hope your dad is comfortable now and I will be thinking of you and your dad over the holiday.

David, I was only thinking the other day that the boiler was doing overtime just now and what would we do if it broke down. Hopefully you have a gas fire/ electric heater. We know now what you want from Santa........central heating!! Hope you can get it fixed quickly.

That accident sounds awful Mandy. The poor familes too. The sock now has a heel! Just the bit to the toe to do. It is coming out bigger than I thought it would be.

Mel, we have to be 1 step ahead of these OH's don't we!! lol I stopped mine raiding the sausage rolls......told him I'd counted them and soon there would only be mine left. lol How lovely to wake up xmas day in your new bedroom. I hope you got the bed sorted.

Well, I discovered tonight that there is no xmas pud for OH! His face was a picture when I told him, but it was his own fault. I'm not overfond of xmas pud so I always get me a tiny low fat one. When I got mine I told him to choose which he wanted for himself from the selection, but he wasn't listening properly (sound familiar?) and didn't!! I'd moved on to something else and left him with the trolley. It is a good job we never have room for any on xmas day. He won't forget to get one next week! lol

In case I don't get on here tomorrow............

Thinking of you Fiona xx

It was so funny just now , Toby came to me ,and either he wanted a wee or a drink of water , i told him oh you'll have to wait a minute, so with that he went and lumped down on his bed with his back to me ,sulking.

So i said oh, don't you love me any more ,he still didn't move ,so i then said oh well you won't have your present in the morning , and with that he shot his head around to look at me !!!! who says they don't understand lol

Right ,that is me done for the day.I need my bed.I can't stay up until the girls get home.I will meet Sarah in the morning.
Night Night everyone.Go to sleep otherwise Santa won't come.

Fiona I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight x

Fiona ,I will be thinking of you tonight .I just hope your Dad is as comfortable as possible.

Jill ,that is a lot of hair you have lost!!!.Very brave of you I think.Wrap up well tonight when you go to Mass.It is getting bitter out there.

David,what a thing to happen on Xmas Eve.I hope you have some other form of heating to keep the chill off.What about hot water?

Four and a half hours doing the veg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Frank that is ......I am lost for words lol

I am just going to set the table now for tomorrow .Chris is asleep in the chair,the dog is asleep in his bed,James has gone to pick up Hannah and friend from the station and drop them off somewhere to meet up with others,

A very happy and peaceful Christmas to you all

Thoughts with you Fiona at a worrying time,hope your father is comfortable.

Resigned from kitchen now....i dont want to see another chestnut!!!!

Had all my hair lopped off today..six inches of it..love it,should of had it done years ago.....a bit cold around the neck though,will have to wear two scarfs when i walk to mass later! For now,a nice glass of mulled wine...

Oh Fiona , i'am so sorry to hear about your dad , will be thinking of you , all the best for Christmas xxx

Waiting for the news to come on to see what happened .

Oh David ,have you any electric heating ? dread to think how much a call out fee would be over Christmas .

Glad you have arrived ok Frank, what sort of journey did you have ? was there much snow about ?

Hi All
Just got back from Hospital. not good news, the next 48 hours is critical for dad. he has been vomiting and the sick has gone into his lungs , he is on antibiotics, but they have been given to him just to keep him comfortable, because of his Mental state they will not be investigating why he was sick, just keeping him warm and comfortable, so it's just a matter of waiting now,

May not get back on tomorrow so I will WISH YOU ALL A MERRY CHRISTMAS , Hope you all have a lovely day.

I'm here, and in the conseratory. can't see what i am typing side lights only.
Spent FOUR AND A HALF HOURS, do all the veg. gthis morning, enough to feed an army/
.just going to eat, so see you later.

Well,for my depressive negative reporting of late...
my gas central heating has packed in on Christmas eve :(

Oh Mandy what an awful thing to happen on Christmas Eve. I shall have to turn the news on and see whats been happening aroound here.

18.27pm.

Well they were excited all right !!!
Chelsea said we have to leave a special key out so Santa can get in , (its because they have no fireplace ) then he can lock the door when he's left the presents .lol


Just read that a Coach has overturned close to Norwich airport ,lots injured ,5 seriously , mostly elderly people on board ,

OMG Mandy.My floors need a scrub.I think it will have to be a quick wipe over with a big floor wipe.I can scoot around on a wipe in the morning as I get things ready lol.The thing is it is only me that realises that they are a bit grubby.

I love to see little children so excited on Christmas Eve.Father Christmas is coming!!
I remember trying to stay awake to see if I could see him,but always fell asleep.Waking at some early hour in the morning to feel a weight on the bottom of my bed and rushing in to Mum and Dad saying HE'S BEEN.Climbing in their bed to show all the things Santa brought me.Bless them ,they had probably just got into bed!.Just like us when our 2 were little and trying to sound so excited ,but desperate to go to sleep lolol

18.10

Had to take the presents to son that he got me to wrap up for DIL,the little ones are getting so excited ,dashing about the house like mad things lol

Then we called to see my sister and BIL and had a cuppa with them ,it was nice just to have a break from things , have now scrubbed some potatoes for tea and washed my floors over , think i'll set the table in the morning before we go to sons for breckfast and to watch them open their presents .

Fiona, i hope they can sort your dad out ,what a shame he gets a bug just at Christmas.

Ann, love the carats lol i forgot you said you had the camera for Christmas .is the sock done ?

I see Delia's been busy lol
