    Good evening everyone

    Been a busy week getting ready as we off to Spain on Monday for 3 weeks over xmas. We're driving over as we have a dog. Staying with our friends who were our neighbours when we lived out there.

    Busy day spent at nail salon (was a birthday gift) & hairdressers. Then M's to spend vouchers on xmas food :j. Got home quick dinner then went off to sing with choir in aid of missing people. Peter Lawrence was leading the service was very touching not many dry eyes :(. Makes you realise how sad it can be at this time of year for some people & how small my problems are compared to what others are going through. A time to reflect.

    So we having early Xmas dinner tomorrow at my dd & about to put gammon in slow cooker to cook overnight. Going to try it the Elite way in coke as we have so much of it :D . Never done it before but thought I'd give it a try so I don't have to keep eye on the oven. I also offered to bring the cheese ;)

    QoC dead jealous of your bag but even more jealous of your mse badge :p
    Happy birthdays & good wishes to all :xmastree:Now to catch up some more x

    Night Logie, and nice place backwards. Sleep well.

    Hi Locarr, is there a glitch or do they give you a bigger joint than you order? Thank you :o

    Tenth Anniversary
    Evening peeps. :)

    Good day and bad day today!
    Bad - I had a couple of fits last week, one was where i couldn't stop my legs from shaking and the other started the same but, in my wifes words, 'I was gone' eyes rolled back and slapping me done nothing, (except i think she enjoyed slapping me)! :rotfl: Paramedics were called and I had to go in hospital for scans.Well, today I get a call from hospital to say they think they've found 'something',. So I'm booked in for a further scan on the 19th. I knew that fall was going to lead to something. :o

    Good - I had the T's Orchard meat vouchers today and used the lot in 1 transaction. :D £12.50 of a nice lump of £4kg finest pork. Cost me 12p. :j
    Oh, and another 12 nouvelle t/rolls. :D

    Sounds like a fab day CC, even the thought provoking parts.

    I have cooked a gammon in coke (puffs chest out :D) trust me, if I can do it...anyone can!

    I do hope you have a great time in Spain over Christmas. You deserve it. You sound very happy :)

    Oh scamps, sorry to hear about the fits, hopefully something can be sorted, you really have had some bad luck.
