Joyce, it's nearly the new year, god willing things will get better for you both
How brave the friend was to have chosen to die with dignity. A very hard choice to make.
Did you manage to get all the food in to cater for your 14 guests. I hope you will get some help from the others in the preparation love. 14 is a lot to feed at one go, I thought it was going to be bad enough for us, having 7 for christmas dinner,and 25 for the evening.
I just hope the family can get through to us with all this snow about.
If not, we will be eating turkey and the like, round to next christmas.

Jean, they opposition cancelled the darts last night, so make sure you get your wager back, with interest.
I hope you are not going to venture out today. I will be thinking of J tomorrow. Are you going to be going with him.?

Caz., I hope you are o.k love. Have you got family coming to you for the big day.

Ann are you and T still going to be going to family, or has this dreadful weather put your plans on hold.

Sallie, are you snowed in as well. We have got to go and clear the car and drive again in a minute.
I have got the hairdressers at 10.30, I just hope gary my hairdresser has managed to get through o.k.
And I am going to phone the dentist's in a minute, as I am supposed to be there at 3.00p.m but once again, I don't know if she has managed to get into work.

Huia, I hope you and your pets are o.k love.

Bye for now girls, stay safe and warm. Love Mo xxx

Happy Christmas Marie have wonderful time with your family....

Mo, Jeff had the little op yesterday Debra was home so he took him and brought him back, everything seems to have gone as planned it will be four weeks before he knows the results, we have decided not to go to Southport and hope we can defer the trip until next year... I havent been out for about two weeks... and wont be going fo another two if this snow and ice doesnt dissapear soon...I dont have a problem with staying in, I can always find something to do... so take care my little kentish nut....lol.... love to Roly...

waves to everyone~~~~~~~~~ x ~~~~~~~~~ love Jean xxx

Caz, sending lots of positive thoughts for a good report on Wednesday.

Mo, we are still hoping that the roads will be OK to go, our 21 year old grandson is also hoping he can get home to Hampshire from Plymouth. It is all very stressfull, worrying about us and worrying about him too. He works as a pizza deliverery driver and last night theyw ere refusing to go because the roads on the estates were so bad. Our cul de sac is bad but the main road seems OK, we might venture out in a minute to see what it is like. We have got sleet coming down at the moment.

Joyce how brave to decide he had had enough but ver sad fro jan and the fellow's family.

That is a serious number of people that you are entertaining, will they all be able to get there.

In case Marie is looking in, have a lovely christmas, at least snow wont prevent you getting away.

And it could be worse folks. We could be stuck at heathrow!!!

Hello folks,
I am back from town. I have got all my fruit and veg, a bit early I know, but we could be snowed in by tomorrow at this rate. lol
I wish parents would tell their children, just how dangerous it is, to make a slide, on a public footpath.
I managed to save an elderly gent from slipping over this morning. I dont know what I would have done, had he have landed on top of me, he was not exactly a small gentleman either.

Oh my lord Jean, I am getting my days confused. I thought J had the hospital tomorrow, but it's Caz not J that has the appointment tomorrow.
I hope it's not to sore for him. I will have my fingers crossed for a good outcome.
Oh and by the way, this little Kentish nut, is called a Cob Nut. They are grown locally to us, so I have to be careful at Nut picking time, as I am the biggest nut of all. LOL
It's such a shame you will be unable to get to Southport for Christmas.
But I will be thinking of you, when my lot have descended on us, and wishing I was at your house, in the peace and quiet.

Oh Ann, you must be petrified for your grandson, out delivering Pizza's in these conditions. People just would not understand a Pizza place saying, "sorry we can't get to you", but they never take into consideration the way the weather is, come rain or shine they still expect their food.
I don't envy the poor paper boys and girls, and the postmen either, these are things we take for granted.
When are you planning to get away for the holiday period.
I do feel for the poor people that have been stuck at airports for days now.

Bye for now girls.

Hi Mo
yes it was for the chap but better for him but not his family special now,its all family that are coming we have had them all now for the past two years as we thought it was alot for his Mum as shes nearly 77yrs old and she still works 5 part time jobs ,but they all live within 10 mins of us the only one who has to travel is Jans nephew and his family about 20mins away ,but we dont have xmas dinner like they do in England Shame its gormet but realy nice will take photo of the table and email you it I do have your email addy dont i ,well back on later i hope got to go and lie down my back is paing me
Love Dutchxx

Mo we hope to go about 1pm tomorrow all being well and providing no further big falls.

Grandson said he walked a couple round but his walking boots don't grip. One woman phoned and when she was asked what he road was like she said 'Well I wouldn't drive on it'. So they said 'in that case neither will we.'

Hi Joyce, you did have my e.mail addy, but it may have got mislaid, if so let me know and I will forward it on to you.
Good grief holding down 5 part time jobs at 77years old, she's a marvel isn't she. Where the heck does she got all her energy from, if you can bottle it, send me one will you please Joyce.
I hope your back is a little better after your lie down love.

Ann, if I don't speak to you before tomorrow.
*******************************************************************
HAVE A LOVELY CHRISTMAS, AND A SAFE JOURNEY.
*******************************************************************

Have a safe journey Ann, and take care.... Happy Christmas,


Love Jean xxx

Thanks, I might be on here tomorrow morning to while away the time.

Ann I hope you have a safe journey tomorrow, and a Merry Christmas to you and oh. I don't know why this country cannot deal with a bit of snow, when I was younger we had some real snowfalls but everything kept running. I remember going to work one morning the snowplough had been out during the night but the roads were icy, the bus slid down the road and we all held on tight because there was a bend and some houses at the bottom, we thought we were not going to make the bend but the driver ran into the snow the plough had built up in front of the houses. I'll never forget how all the passengers applauded him, now they stop the buses running. I hope it doesn't snow before I get back home tomorrow, I'm not looking forward to going out, the last time was for my scan early in December, but I think I'm in the best place.
We are having a quiet Christmas, just the two of us, our flat is not big enough for visitors to have a meal and I can't really sit in the car because it hurts my back so visiting the family is out as well. we will see them all before the big day though.
Well tea is out so better go eat it.

Love Caz xx

Well here I am down in Hampshire. Roads were not bad at all, just a bit mucky from all the salt. And I do wish people would not drive with their cars covered in snow so that it blows off and at the windscreen of other cars.

So glad to hear you arrived safe and well, now you can enjoy Christmas, Ann, have a great time ...


Love Jean xx
