Well still stuck on 10 so no more to report

Have got to put up my Xmas lights soon on the outside of the house




I know its tacky but the tackier the better. I like it and it brings smiles to loads of Kids along my estate . Sorry to bring up the Xmas word Lurks but I switch mine on 1st December so not long to go :j Mind you i have recently got one of these electric usage meters so will be interesting to see how much it costs me:rolleyes:

Aint no thang, chap!

It's only when people start talking about it before the clocks go back that twists my melon

Bring it on, I say

I won Delia's Christmas cookbook yesterday too so I will be starting to plan my menu before too long

Not AF yesterday - work redundo do...

Hope everyone is well today.

Ah good, Lurky's in the crimbo spirit...just for you....

2009's First Christmas Joke

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates.

'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said, 'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'

The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. 'It represents a candle', he said.

'You may pass through the pearly gates' Saint Peter said.

The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'

Saint Peter said 'You may pass through the pearly gates'.

The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.

St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, 'And just what do those symbolize?'

The man replied, 'These are Carols.'

And So The Christmas Season

Begins...... :snow_laug

I foray into other boards on here & sometimes I really really wonder why. There is so much help & support all round here then you get people who get so argumentative & finger-pointy (IYSWIM- can you be finger-pointy in a post? ) with each other. I'm not talking about trolls either, just ones who "in the spirit of trying to help" :rolleyes: start tearing other people's posts to pieces just cos they don't agree with their point of view.

*sigh*

It may be a little naive in this day & age but I believe that being nice doing cost anything & kindness makes the world go round

And if that is naive then long may I remain so :cool:

bearhugs to all you lovely peeps

EDIT: i took a large drink of tea after posting all that & nearly choked to death! :eek:

GREAT expression. Love it!

But yes, MSE, like life, has people who are just unpleasant (and finger-pointy :rotfl:)

Morning folks,

Well, we have our first jumpy today :T.

Maman - thanks for asking how I'm doing. Doing ok, have been AF for a few weeks now minus a mulligan 3 weeks ago which was beyond horrible. Drank a skinful and puked over the couch, the bathroom floor, myself etc. It was very reminiscent of a scene in The Witches of Eastwick - if you've seen the film, you'll know the one I mean.

So, that experience really put me off, but this past week I've been kind of fancying a glass of wine again and battling that a bit. Constant vigilence I suppose.

Hearing how bright and shiny Jo and MrsDee are is really helping me see the benefits of the AF choice and keeping me going. :T:T

Think we should organise a coach party to YM's for the switching on of the lights. I love all that stuff! :santa2:
