I have done lots today and am now wiped out and scared for some reason.
OH is playing with his elvis and the philharmonic Orchestra vinyl that arrived today.

melly, you are surrounded by golden lights from WaS - nothing to be scared of this evening.

Golden lights and Elvis

I found the Christmas cards I want to buy for next year (I like posh cards at discount prices). Unfortunately they aren't on offer.

onomatopoeia99

1. I see the best in people
2. I never, ever shout at people, even when I'm really angry or upset
3. I always let people finish their sentences when talking (which means I say little in groups).
4. I am objective, logically and dispassionate when expressing an opinion about an issue (some see this as a bad thing)
5. I'm super nerdy.

Oh and I can cook, but best not to talk about other housework

WaS, assembling your hamper was a total delight. And I thought people were wonderful to send presents and messages anonymously - it really was from the whole thread, cos we really appreciate you! xxx

(And the 'five good things' idea just shows how lovely people are on here, cos they are all true!) xxx

1. I am kind.
2. I am an eternal optimist
3. I care about my friends deeply and would do anything for them (which includes everyone here).
4. I am intelligent when my memory isn't a disaster.
5. I am a very good cook as long as someone does the dangerous bits!


Aww, thank you so much for going to the trouble to do that, JM! I am so, so touched. I love everyone.

Sorry I haven't been around much. While waiting to leave Athens on Sunday, I slipped on some gunge and went flying. Nothing broken but pulled some muscles.
Then I developed the squits, (lovely onomatopoeic word! Sorry Ono! ), and was glad I was near the loo on the plane coming back.

The flight back was very good, though. On time, smooth, good service. When I got to passport control, had to dive into the nearest loo!
When I got home I threw up. God knows what I'd eaten to do that!


Anyway, was extremely achey and couldn't do much with my right arm for a couple of days, due to the aches.
It's a lot better but not right yet, and I have another horrid bruise just above where I tore some muscle fibres in my thigh several weeks ago!

Plus a couple of extra ones!

It's a year ago today that I lost my best friend ever, my hero, my Dad. I can't believe that this year has gone so fast.

The last few days have been hard, I've been reliving this time last year, and the feelings that I let him down have been really strong, and I've been having trouble sleeping.

I just hope he's at peace and I hope that he's happy. I miss you so much Dad.

((((((((((((Georgie))))))))))))))!

Just seen that I have posted this while tea is having more problems with FOH. Tea, give yourself congratulations and a cuddle for having had the strength to walk away from this relationship, which would have become even more toxic if you'd stayed it in, by the sounds of things! xxxxx

Hear hear!
As others have said, Tea, the timing is suspicious, especially as this all blew up after you went on PoF.
If he's at his mum's, can you even be sure the emails were from her?

Just to clarify, in case my post made anyone feel bad, these family members do not send cards through the post, and are all friends on Facebook with me and DH so it's not like I'm being impatient. None of them got me anything, so I feel like a thank you isn't that much to expect. So, for next year, what's more insulting? A generic box of biscuits or nothing?

This may seem harsh but.........
You spend time, money and more time putting together custom hampers.
They do not give you any presents.
They do not even send a thank you for the hampers.

I'd pull the plug on giving them any present at all next year. They are just plain ungrateful and very, very rude.


Welcome to the long-term hummingbirds! :A:A:A




WaS! when I looked at the top photo, I thought one packet said LightUp Condoms! Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

(It said bonbons!)
(I think! Eeeek!)

whitewing

Light up bonbons would make for interesting diarrhoea!

I thought it said light up decorations, lol.

Yes, JM, you are wonderful to arrange the hamper. And WaS, you are wonderful for being such a kid about Christmas.

tea, has Mr Hot Lips been in touch since the date? (sorry for the nickname - can't think of one that is gentle and manly and beautiful, but pyxis is back now so he will have a name if he is sticking around for a bit)
