    Hi
    just wanted to wish everyone a
    VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
    god bless each and every one of you.i hope you all get every thing you want for christmas and loads of super glitches for the new year.
    all my bestest to FC, DAVID. AND BB.xx
    my op went well and am recovering...the morphine and ketamine helped.who knew that morphine made you itch, and gas gave you aching, awful pains in your neck and shoulder.i did get out the same day from hosp which was a plus.my throat feels like it has nettle rash and have a cough which is agony, as you can imagine, cos coughing is the last thing I want to do cos its so painful.
    SO, onwards and upwards,
    take care, xx

    Glad your op went well, wishing you a speedy recovery.

    Sarah....I successfully challenged my recent parking ticket . Go into the shop where you spent money and ask to see the manager and ask if he/ she can speak to the parking company to wipe out your fine.

    Where we parked had a B & Q, Next Home, Maplin, Dreams, and Oakland furniture, we looked round them all, should I write to them all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    A man is at his finest towards the finish of the year;
    He is almost what he should be when the Christmas season's here;
    Then he's thinking more of others than he's thought the months before,
    And the laughter of his children is a joy worth toiling for.
    He is less a selfish creature than at any other time;
    When the Christmas spirit rules him he comes close to the sublime.
    When it's Christmas man is bigger and is better in his part;
    He is keener for the service that is prompted by the heart.
    All the petty thoughts and narrow seem to vanish for awhile
    And the true reward he's seeking is the glory of a smile.
    Then for others he is toiling and somehow it seems to me
    That at Christmas he is almost what God wanted him to be.

    If I had to paint a picture of a man I think I'd wait
    Till he'd fought his selfish battles and had put aside his hate.
    I'd not catch him at his labors when his thoughts are all of pelf,
    On the long days and the dreary when he's striving for himself.
    I'd not take him when he's sneering, when he's scornful or depressed,
    But I'd look for him at Christmas when he's shining at his best.
    Man is ever in a struggle and he's oft misunderstood;
    There are days the worst that's in him is the master of the good,
    But at Christmas kindness rules him and he puts himself aside
    And his petty hates are vanquished and his heart is opened wide.
    Oh, I don't know how to say it, but somehow it seems to me
    That at Christmas man is almost what God sent him here to be.

    At Christmas

    That is wonderful and very true.

    My son has been transformed by having kids, he used to only have thoughts for himself at Christmas, but now it is all about his kids :T:T

    Can I be the first on the list, who has got a reduced turkey?:D

    I popped intyo my local Bookers cash & carry to get some dog food and they had reduced all the turkeys, ducks and geese to half price.
    Now bear in mind, the original price is a wholesale price!

    I came away with a massive turkey for just over £10 and a duck for £6.

    We wont eat it all, but it will keep the dogs going for ages!:):)

    Popped in to Aldi around 3pm, browsing the fresh meat/fowl lots reduced by 50%, some nice turkey crowns, good for freezing... as I was looking a manager came over and said all turkeys are now £8 ;)...I picked up a free range one at £34.99!


    rung the mrs "Have we any room in the freezer?" she said we might get one in there... so picked up another....bit of freezer tetris and we have turkey for new year too!

    Then popped to T's mobbed up there, got some whoopsied lambs mince and 2 x chicken on 3 for £10 and a load of veg 3 for 2!!
