Hi Everyone - sorry not been "talking" although have been following you all. Just been so manic and now as Christmas is fast approaching everything seems to be falling into place. Also have OH's 60th in January - very inconvenient date so soon after Christmas, immediately after New Year and on the day of the World Darts Championships final. Anyway trying to sort something out so we can celebrate that weekend and thereafter something every other month through the year so he feels that he has not been forgotten. Oh and all without him knowing ..... you know I think I have already told you this, so if I have apologies. Finish at work tomorrow evening until the 4th, although in 2nd job on the 29th and 30th all day. Am in the office mostly on my own to day and am waiting for my darling niece to come delivering and collecting pressies. Champers is on ice for the 30th hope the rest of you have been busy cooking. Thanks to those of you who physically made it happen for Mike and his boys and this time Happy, Miggy and I cordially invite you to join our virtual celebratory party - Happy & Miggy you do realise that means we can't get sloshed this time as we are the hosts and have to behave - and Mike will be with us!!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j:j OMG this is going to be so much fun. Right in case I don't get on again until the 30th wishing every single one of you the happiest of Christmas' and that 2011 will bring you everything you wish for. Already made my New Year's Resolution so heres to meeting you.......................................:T:T:T xxxxxxxx
Billie xxxxxxxxxx Cheers one and all :beer:

Hi Billie

I keep wondering how Christmas has suddenly appeared, it was weeks away and know it is three days away and there is still so much to do!

Your OH's birthday celebrations sound fab. I celebrated my 50th birthday over a few months which made it seem very special.

Looking forward to you, Miggy and Happy hosting the party

Enjoy the break from work and I wish you and yours a very Happy Christmas and look forward to meeting up in 2011.

Maty

Your sons did an exceptional job of thanking all of us Mike.
No more thanks are required..... as I said, it was a pleasure, and as i believe, Nick Knowles said.. "Good things can happen"


btw.......... we had neither a birthday, nor were irate at any time. We're smilers........


Regards

We mentioned the anonymity thing several times, especially when a certain person kept mentioning that everyone (almost) was in debt.

6 months instead of 5 is progress Butti Toy boys can be good, so I have heard

Hi Maty Yes a reporter asked me what kind of debt I had and what relation that had to Mike. I was flabbergasted and told her that none of us had debt problems, and had nothing to do with helping Mike. Some people should never leave home!! I think what caught Nick Knowles fancy was that a gang of woman could come to help Mike, never having met him. I think that is what they have concentrated on.

Wow MIKE loved the programme snippits. First time you have seen them. (Us too) Things were more advanced when we landed.

Buttie - If your romance only lasted 6 months then he is the poorer. Mr Right will trip you up when the time is ripe.;)

Ian - we still want to know what part you played. Fess up.

very exciting Mike... I shall go and post that link on my fb page!!

Maty, I know I should already have your address but I can't find it. I spose I only really need it before the afternoon of the 30th! I must remember to check what I'm working.....

Billie, maty is right.. 6 months is better than 5 and who knows how long the next one will be!!

Afternoon all!!

I was following the original thread way back at the start and contributed where I could - but things got in the way and unfortunately I didn't come back for a long time!!

I'm glad I found the new thread, and even more glad that at 8pm next week, I'll be tuned in to BBC!!! I'm actually so excited about it since it's been so long.

Mike - how's things with you now?? Health? Happiness?
Are the boys visiting more, and everything else working out well for you??

I'll read this full thread when I can be bothered, but just out of hospital so concentrating isn't at it's best right now!! haha!!

Hope everyone else is well, and looking forward to Christmas.

P.S. Totally forgot my signature said that!! But I'm keeping it!!!

Hello everybody (waves to speirsro - good to have you back, and I hope you're feeling better?),
Mike, thank you for the clips! Tantalising . I can't quite see round the corners to see what else is going on...
Sorry to hear about the end of the relationship Buttie... here's to a better year next year.
Just in case I don't get back before Christmas, my apologies that I haven't managed to send anyone cards, I had all these good intentions... my good wishes are with you though, plus virtual mince pies and mulled wine.

The last two guys I got involved said lovely things and then stopped talking to me! Maybe I really am a psycho? :cool:

Or maybe they were...

You're name's on the t-shirt spierso, we wouldn't forget you (or more accurately SouthernBelle* remembers... my memory is shocking so I can't vouch for the spelling!).

I hope you recuperate quickly and yay to hospital discharge in time for christmas! Enjoy.

Glasgow has gone Tommy Sheridan crazy! It's bizarrely mental! :cool: (Ex leader of the Socialist Party. Just been done for perjury. Was studying law. And swinging - no longer allegedly I guess ).
