Christmas Day On Here

Surely posters wont be on here creaming themselves about a 0.1% rise or fall in either sales or rents?

    It may be Xmas, but the crushing mountain of debt and interest repayments will still go up, thanks to Clown's catastrophic mismanagement of the economy.

    Treat yourself to an extra mince pie as 20 long years of grim, grey, grinding austerity lay ahead if you're a taxpayer. Of course, if you're an idle chav in a sink estate, enjoy the plasma TV bought with your benefit handouts!

    We'll all be poorer on Boxing Day. Thanks be to Labour.

    Er, as much as I love you all, I wasn't planning to stop by on Christmas day, so have a good one.
    Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

    Even shorter for you bro.

    Fifteen and a half hours for us.

    TBH, if you had my in laws you'd spend Christmas on here or indeed pretty much anywhere other than where I'm supposed to be.

    As I said to Mrs Generali, "You married well. Your in laws are so much nicer than mine".

    Hey, they made mrs Generali what she is, and inturn the generalini...so...they are just perfect for you. DH loves his inlaws, thank god! They all get on fantastically.

    I doubt I'll be on, but who knows. Last year I went AWOL for a bout a month round about this time of year. And it ll hppened. NDG disappeared, and you ate Dopester's dog....I'm a little scared I'll miss somehthing...like last night did the poster who said he'd reveal something at midnight ever do so?:confused:

    Its the quietest Christmas we've EVER had, when its just DH and me we go all out, and my parents usually have a houseful of people, but this year its just the four of us, and Dad is working in the evening, so.....who knows...

    In anycase, to you all, very Merry Chrsitmas and a very happy and hopefully prosperous new year. Thank you for many enjoyable hours in 2009.

    I'll probably pop in at some point...just to get some sanity!
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    I'll be here. Nobody comes round, we never go round anywhere else. We don't leave the house. Two octogenarians, me and my sibling.

    Deep joy ... not.

    Oh yes, I'll be here.
