Could anyone on here make use of day return ticket/s on the First Capital Connect network as I have some I will not use. They cover anywhere on the network but are only valid till 31st December. I have 7 and the most we will use, if we do with Mr 3Dogs feeling as he is now, is 2. Let me know if you could use one/any and I can post them to you

Just completed the 3rd of 3 surveys for MySurvey. Got 1,500 points so will be converting these in to Nectar points. Took about 5 hours in total.

Sad to hear Al is still suffering. It really isn't nice to be in so much pain.
Have you considered selling your spare train tickets on eBay?. Get some cash back ready for the next trip.

As they were complimentary tickets, I don't feel it's right to sell them on eBay

Anyway, I am off to bed now. Mr 3Dogs has been sound asleep for 3 hours now, so hope he stays that way

Night Night guys

Sell on ebay & donate the proceeds to charity...I have done that before with concert tickets and the buyer was chuffed as he got tickets at half price.

I hope Alan is feeling better today.

Shocking weather here today with pouring rain ouyside so I am staying indoors & cooking roast pheasant with shallots & baking a cake....feels all farmhouse kitchen-like here:D

Been ebaying some bits & pieces but its very slow even though christmas is nearly here but I will persevere.

Bought my new tumble dryer yesterday & got £10 off plus free delivery so I can at least dry my washing now.

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday too.

oooh Angie, roast pheasant, shallots and baking Christmas cake - sounds delightful - it's a bit wet here but not bad, rain was mostly during night and this morning so we are glad that Mr 3Dogs couldn't do the car boot

He was up at 2 am and 7 am taking tablets and applying ice pack, then we slept till 12 noon :eek: :eek: Sitting watching footie on telly now and he has 2 bottles of beer and a bar of chocolate to stop him feeling sorry for himself

I might have a look on ebay later to see if it is worth putting those tickets on eBay, thanks guys for mentioning it

I heard this at a carol service last night.
The Twelve Days AFTER Christmas
By Frederick Silver and shared by surfer Jennifer H.

The first day after Christmas, my true love and I had a fight
And so I chopped the pear tree down and burned it just for spite
Then with a single cartridge, I shot that blasted partridge
my true love, my true love, my true love gave to me

The second day after Christmas, I pulled on the old rubber gloves
and very gently wrung the necks of both the turtle doves
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me

The third day after Christmas, my Mother caught the croup
I had to use the three French Hens to make some chicken soup
The four calling birds were a big mistake for their language was obscene
The five golden rings were completely fake and they turned my fingers green

The sixth day after Christmas, the six laying geese wouldn't lay
I gave the whole darn gaggle to the R.S.P.C.A
On the seventh day, what a mess I found
all seven of the swimming swans had drowned
My true love, my true love, my true love gave to me

The eighth day after Christmas, before they could suspect
I bundled up the eight maids a milking, nine pipers piping, ten ladies dancing, eleven lords a leaping, twelve drummers drumming (Spoken: "Well, actually, I kept ONE of the drummers" ) and sent them back collect
I wrote my true love, " We are through, love! "
And I said in so many words,
" Furthermore your Christmas gifts were for the birds! "

'Birds' is to be held out at a single high note while at the same time, quietly, in the background, the other singers sing the traditional: " Four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree." (That is the only time it's done traditionally, otherwise the entire song has it's own melody.)
It is such a crack up because it's done choir style, quite serious.
