    Do you know Dodo never even mentioned my freezer this morning. :rotfl:

    I had hoped she might give me a hand.....:rotfl:

    And why do I never bump into BMW drivers when I do C & C, I seem to be the only one there ever. :eek:
    I'll have you know I brought my ice scrapers with me - just left them in the car:rotfl:

    I had 4 and not a sausage in any of them :( I didn't win on this last year either. I did win a £25 warehouse voucher and a £20 samsung voucher last year though :D

    I was so lucky last year. The postman was bringing stuff every day. Best was a Russell Hobbs grill and worst was the Pringles speakers:o

    Won loads of Heinz stuff too:)

    Oh snap...I'm sure no offence was meant but it must be tying for you doing it every day. Are you wanting someone to take it off your hands or do you just need a break?

    Are you offering? ;)

    Hello. Aau1 - I am genuinely saddened to read your news, I'm sure I feel only a tiny percentage of what you do. It's bad at any time of year but, we're told, particularly bad at this time. Sometimes, though, I feel ignoring the 'received wisdom' is a good mechanism to help cope better. At least it's still some weeks away from Christmas and, hopefully, this will allow the sad news not to be associated too much to Christmas. While this year may be hard, in future years hopefully it will be somewhat easier during the season that is still some weeks away. We get back to as normal a life as we can after these things.

    Even when it seems everyone around is enjoying Christmas, I can assure you some are not. I know what it's like to have sad news over Christmas - my mother was diagnosed with cancer (which later killed her) on Xmas Eve - we couldn't celebrate Christmas, or much thereafter, that year. It felt awful - I think you have to switch off the TV, everything on there was jolly and, for us, desperately inappropriate. That was a disaster for me and my family.

    In a disaster such as this crash, involving several victims, you are certainly not alone in suffering. That may discount the myth that everyone around is enjoying themselves, although it is also desperately sad how many people have lost those they know to this tragedy.

    I can only wish you well - you are certainly (but sadly) not alone in being affected by this. All my best.

    I think I was in shock this morning thanks for entertaining my guests for me while I made the tea and coffee. :T

    Don't think if we had started to scrape ice it would have gone down well do you? :rotfl:
