    Hi all

    Spud - Grrrrrrr to OH

    Louise - normally never as I am a bah humbug sort of person but this year I am thinking of putting some up to indulge my general love of sparkly tacky things.

    Wow Sally, thats a great loss 4lbs in 1 week:beer: :j

    I usually put mine up the 1st weekend in December but I think I will wait a bit longer this time I take mine down on 2nd January.

    I would love a real tree but OH thinks they are a waste of money and messy:rolleyes:

    We do have quite a nice artificial one though. We should have a Christmas party where we all show pictures of our Christmas trees and drink Baileys:beer:

    Our cat doesnt bother with the decorations anymore but I remember when her and our other cat used to launch themselves at the tree.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Hiya guys,
    My sister is having a bit of trouble, she's not well and has to move house, be out by the 28th so I'm going to help. it's a rush to get booked and ready by then, but she'd do it for me, not very mse but needs must eh, don't ask how this will be, wish it was a holiday, but it's me sis isn't it:cool: (I'm flying on the 19th OMG must pack, if I forget anything I'll just pinch her cloths he he)
    Wont have much time over there as packing cleaning on the way out and then unpacking and cleaning going in and apparently I'm also cheif cook and bottle washer, how to fit in exercise OMG and because I'm up side downish in Oz does that help with speed/weight, being lighterish iykwim:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    hopefully I will have a bit of time to get on here which will make a change and I'll be able to talk to you guys more, I do miss the daily chat, but never seem to have time or am off line when at me mums, bless her, what's the tinternet says she:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hopefully talk soon

    HWGA xx

    Christmas Decorations: last proper weekend before the actual day. and then we a a kinda family party & I bake the ham.
    Spud: another GREAT BIG HUGGY HUG. He is a s**t and I don't really know how to advise. But I had a similar problem with my, now, ex. And they weren't even his kids :eek: .
    Could I just hijack the thread and ask for (all) your opinions on a letter I have written to the water peeps. I just found out I could be saving an extra £12 per month and could have been for the last gazillion years:mad: .

    Afternoon :)

    I've taken my wedding ring and engagement ring off - feels a bit odd but 'right', if you know what I mean.

    I think generally I'm feeling a lot happier. My body clock has gone into panic mode though....I think it's thinking 'you're 34 and single....last chance girl.....come on!!'. :rotfl:

    Lock up your husbands/sons (only if your sons are over 30 tho!) :cool: :p

    Husband is now locked up:D :rotfl: To be honest I dont think he would be able to handle another woman after me, I have scarred him for life I think:rotfl:

    Glad to hear you are feeling a bit brighter.

    Hello HWGA, missed you again:o You are a wonderful Sister to go all the way to OZ to help her out:A

    Rugbymum your Christmas Bake Day sounds really festive and lovely, I like to make a big family meal for the whole gang (13 of us) its a days hard graft but I love to see all of my family together, we also make a toast to my Brother who lives in Thailand and this year we thought he would be here with us but sadly not:(

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
