    I'll excuse your lack of capitals and complete irony bypass (even after I explained it).
    thankyou. i read your reply arfter, as i read posts in order. and thank you for not pointing out i started a sentence with 'and' which you should not. so maybe the irony bypassed more than me:D
    i know there is no r in arfter

    My mum went into hospital last Xmas day and was an awful roller coaster in hospital until she finally passed in March. Not looking forward to Xmas but must do my best this year for DD and Dh.

    My dad and FIL both died 28 December (different years). Both those years were awful spending xmas at hospital etc. We have tried to take the positive thinking that they would have wanted Christmas to be as normal as possible and we try to do that for the kids. Still hard though.:(

    I was my Dads Birthday on 28th December (Now it might be 29th but I always get muddled up:o:o) So me and MrLala got married on that day to celebrate my dads life and our wedding:)It was hard but it sort of turned the day around into a happy one if you know what I mean.
    Big hugs hugs Floflo because I know the first xmas is really hard:(

    afternoon everyone,
    big hugs for all those that are missing love ones this year Christmas can be so hard espeacily the first one so extra big hugs to 3dogs

    6 of my grandchildren are in care, very complicated after 2 of them were abducted by someone living with a phaedo phile after going to the police to get them back claims were made about the parents which got them arrested solicitor thinks it will get sorted but will take time so we cannot see them at xmas have had 2 hours with them in over a month and while on bail the parents can not be together so have lost kids and each other so xmas will be very hard for them.

    They look delicious:T:T:TBecause I'm on a diet I have decided that my first mince pie will be on Xmas day, And I'm going to have 2 days of eating what ever I like;)
    3Dogs have been thinking about you with your first Xmas this year, I'm sure Mr3dogs will be watching over you xx

    Just back from T's and got some lovely whoopsies, all T's finest so they went down even more with the vouchers:T:TI'm loving those Finest vouchers. Just got a load of the Finest Red Onion sausages whoopsied,so am going to make all my stuffing this afternoon and freeze it, saves money and time:TAlso go 2 huge pieces of pork. The big ones that were half price anyway at £12 each and then whoopsied down to £6 each (Not the best whoopsies but good enough for me as they are huge) Couldnt get any whoopsied lamb for dinner but the legs were 1/2 price so got a lovely one for £10(It broke my heart paying that but I did have a £3 off £30 spend to go with it;))
