    On a serious note, tinyshoes hasn't posted since yesterday. Am seriously concerned as she posted that she was going to C45stle L4ne yesterday afternoon. There was a mega accident there at the time, We couldn't get thro to t a police had closed the road.

    I'm here doing the dawn shift catching up. :o

    Thanks for thinking of me, I turned around and came back as heard on news how bad accident was. Wanted to let you know about it but I went straight to my mums and no internet there. There most of saturday too and fell asleep on sofa yesterday evening and woke up early hours and have been catching up on here since. Not been to bed yet. :eek:

    I'm also worried about Tinyshoes :( Hope she's ok and we hear from her ASAP.

    Winjackie sorry to hear your DS is still ill. Hope you managed your trip to T's tonight?? :)

    And thank you for the info regarding the price flop mag, such a shame there's no vouchers in this one. I didn't get to use any of the vouchers from the 1st one!!!

    Hope everyone's well and had a nice day :A

    Is everyone ok ? all accounted for, anyone heard from Tinyshoes ?

    Morning all,

    Seems I've been causing a bit of concern, sorry I went AWOL :o Thanks for thinking of me. I don't usually get much time to post on a saturday as I do my mum's housework for her so it's a really busy day for me and means I don't get chance to got to Ts either. :(

    Just wanted to say thanks to Nikki for starting the new thread.
    Hope your DS is feeling better Caz and hope the weekend goes well for you. And Winjackie hope your DS getting better too.
    So sorry to hear about the break in FK, hope those prints on your washing machine help catch the culprits.

    Take care everyone I'm finally hitting the pillow for couple of hours. Really should not have curled up on the sofa last night, think I'm going to regret that and no alcohol to blame either. ;)

    Ps Have had a good day on the diet front, no CDMs, Smarties or TCOs have passed my lips. Went for a Solero as not many calories. :D

    I do occasionally but CL is a bit too far on 2 wheels. Thanks locarr for taking the time to find the information on the accident it did sound serious from the early reports I heard so stayed away. Definitely not good news. :(

    Good Morning all! Today will be a T free day for me as I have to start all the cookie baking and card making that I should have already done *sigh* (Handing out cookies to close friends and family as no money for present buying this year!) Hope you all have a good day! :)

    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 partirdge
    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 A.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.

    Yeah, I looked in to it and from what I could tell the channels that I wanted weren't available to watch online. :s

    As long as they are included in your package you can watch them on line, or so i believe .
