Merry Christmas Lynda.

So far calm for me - we are having Xmas Dinner & then evening with Claire's family, and then come home to have Indian Takeaway with my kids on Boxing Day. It makes a big difference to the shopping - no scrummaging to get a turkey etc etc. It's my job to do the Xmas shopping, so next year I'll be in the supermarkets for 05:00, but this year it's nice & easy, I just go after everyone else has gone, and accept that they have sold out of Turkeys! As it happens I couldn't get any yellow roses (specified on my list) or any roses of any colour, or any yellow flowers ........ life's a bitch!

So enough of 1st world problems! I haven't sent Xmas cards, but I must remember to phone a friend of my mother who has no children. Xmas Day alone can be a long lonely day, time to look out for someone who may not have the same wonderful day that we all have.

Wishing everyone a wonderful day!

Back in the days when we had turkey for Christmas Dinner I used to reserve mine from Waitrose. It was much easier that way just to collect it at a specified time. These days Dave and I just choose our favourite dinner and have that instead. Neither of us like turkey. We only had it for the boys.

Merry Christmas!
I didn't realise I'd been away for so long

Hahahaha - tell us all (well that's me Lynda and Keif) about this house move that you are doing across the Loch. Is this to get away from that pig of a neighbour that you had?

[Don]

I will, and yes I am...

[Lynda Rockall]

Looking forward to hearing the details and seeing some photos, Don.
