Why interesting?

Well done Dragon on your weightloss - I only wish that I had your willpower, I have gotten fatter over this last year although my blood pressure has gone down.:j

I started my christmas shopping in January:eek: I even made up some hampers so I will donate some to my local conservative club for their raffle on 4 December when they have their quiz nite (I hope to have saved my £10 entrance fee by then).

A week or so ago I managed to acquire some vintage christmas decorations via freecycle, this woman was clearing out an old ladies flat (she had gone to a home) and all the furniture etc had been sold with the flat. Unfortunately, some were broken but I managed to save 9 vintage glass ones and few other assorted bits n bobs, the rest went into the bin because it was all beyond help. Now I have seen that woolies are selling 2ft trees for a fiver so I fancy getting a white one and will use it just for the vintage baubles:D

I think I will boot the cats out of the way and sit by the fire because I am freezing.

They don't visit my flats thank goodness. We have enough trouble with the ex of the drug dealer who lives in the basement coming round in the early hours ringing everyone's bell and kicking the front door trying to get in - I am sure she is a crack addict. Mind you the sooner that my landlord evicts the swine the better because he has been nothing but trouble since he arrived:mad:

Luckily we are well off the beaten track - they'd have to use broomsticks to get to us ....

I'm down a long dark drive - and I have a black cat guarding the door....

Funny, they never bother me :rotfl:

Got to admit this thread has bought a few smiles and a few tears having read through so many posts.

As I said previously I was in a bad RTA back in 1984, but I guess I am one of the lucky ones (NOW) Sure I was hurt pretty bad and got turned dowm for DLA but I persevered and eventually got it, so I don't have to worry about that unlike so many others (ps. Thanks for all your help with that D.I.A.L.).

The medical profession told me I would be unlikely to survive past 10 - 15 years (in 1984) so I'm a ghost, but still able to type on my PC as you can see;) .

I was injured by someone else and it was completely their fault so I was able to take them to court, that meant I have a roof over my head and don't have to worry about paying for it, when I see some of the problems people on here have I feel sad that we are at this stage as a nation, its not right.

Instead of poking our noses in other countries business we should sort THIS countries problems out and that means help the people who need help (in my humble opinion) it just makes me so sad and angry at the same time!

Sorry I'll get off my soap box, I just think its wrong to see so many people suffer needlessly especially when I know were Mr Drink Driver not insured and an employee of the insurance company at that, I'd be in the same position.

Don't get me wrong the cocktail of tablets I take daily (all 20 plus of them) are not pleasant but according to the medical profession I'm not meant to be here so I'll take every day as it comes and be grateful for what I have (even if I don't always show it.)

Anyway I didn't ask yesterday but do I qualify as a member of the "not so old crocks club" I'm only just the wrong side of the half century so I'm not too old.

Regards

Hi there Rebel, this is from another person who is not supposed to be here. We'll make them eat their words these doctors won't we!! We refuse to go!!
