    Evening all, yes I'm OK.

    DS1 vowing never to travel with Air France or KLM again.

    Their plane pulled out of landing at CDG, tried again, again aborted, went to Orly, tried landing there, couldn't, diverted to Toulouse. Sat on tarmac for 5 hours. Eventually flew back to Paris. Landed, no flights left to Manchester today. Haven't heard from him since then, was queueing at CS. So many people having their travel plans disrupted. Many in front of him in the queue couldn't get on other flights to their destination until Boxing Day :(

    I'm hoping he gets on one of the 3 flights to Manchester tomorrow, but with his phone dead and wifi over, don't know how I'll know!

    CalmSpirit, like your name, stay calm :) Your DS will arrive, albeit later than you'd hoped for, but he's still coming home :)

    DS2 and I are enjoying some festive treats, and a film. We've decided Christmas dinner can be on Boxing day, depending on what time DS1 needs collecting as that will be a 4 hour round trip to the airport. It's a festive meal to share, and share we'd rather do :)

    Off to research flights for tomorrow and Boxing day, will note down departure & arrival times. Then we're good to go when a message gets through.

    Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas.

    Hope all the little ones have the best day ever, and can imagine nerfletDS3 when he sees and gets on, his trike :)

    Raise a glass to absent friends, and family. Rejoice in the happy times shared.

    Good night one and all :)

    (and I left the £10 turkeys.... no space anywhere to cook/store that!)


    :xmassmile Happy Christmas :xmassmile



    Thinking of you hun xx
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    No she hasn't...........:cool:

    She seems convinced it needs to cook a bit longer though, or maybe that's wishful thinking. I may text her in the morning :)

    Thanks fairclaire, I' 'll try to pop on tomorrow to see if there is some news.

    Kindle n me do not get on, its too slow n I have to keep signing in after turning page or posting. And as for predictive text :mad:

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Just popped in to wish you all

    A Very Christmas and A Happy New Year

    Glitches and coupons have been so good to us this year, so here's hoping for loads more in 2014 :)

    Floflo how is your leak? Well the garage I mean :o.not you personally. Mind you after who knows how many snowballs you've knocked back :eek:

    I hope all your loved ones make it home in time for Christmas, such vicious weather and more to come I think.

    Hubby said it has stopped at the moment, hopefully builders back on site before school starts up again so I can get it sorted - need the weather to stay dry too.

    Have a lovely Christmas xxx I shall be finishing the snowballs off tomorrow. :)
