    Jay - I know I'm bonkers but what about all you lot - join a camping forum & then all you lot seem to talk about is winning things - no tents, no calor gas stoves & no chemical toilets ever mentioned - waste of time if you ask me - think I'm going to go back to the Scottish forum 'Pee outside & jaggy thistles up yer bum'

    Korky - no I'm not superstitious - only put the tree up on the 22nd - just that the lights keep drawing my eyes away

    Me & OH went out for our 'xmas curry' (a tradition he made up to force me to go to the Indians with him) & were saying the last time we went to a New Years do was for the millenium & what a pair of old farts we have become so might be a party in the in with the lovely skippy for me too

    Hi Hoggle, nice to meet you. :)

    I've been the same sometimes, it seems to go in waves, but hang in there and wins will come your way. :A

    Sorry Fin. You have a very good point there. :o

    Actually I haven't been camping for a couple of years, maybe I need to join a non-camping forum! I mean, it just doesn't seem...proper or right to be here still. :o

    A Christmas curry sounds like a great tradition, do you frequent the same place, or try new ones out? :T:T
