I would agree that maybe sending a plain note to your cousins would be more tactful than Happy Christmas cards especially as they so recently bereaved. I also think you are brilliant to fit so much in with all you have to cope with. Mr SA, string and bomber jacket sounds so random.
Glad you enjoyed Love Actually. That is one of my favourites too although my eldest daughter has come home this weekend to help me put up the Christmas decorations as DH recovering from open heart surgery still and she wants Home Alone tonight.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

You can get individual Thinking of You Christmas cards and I agree from experience 'normal' Christmas cards are hard to receive.5

badmemory said:I'm not going to comment on Mr SA & the bomber jacket! If he is unstable on his feet can he not go in on his scooter. I use one from time to time when my back/leg is bad & I can get parallel to the table & turn the seat, is there anything similar that he can do? If possible it could save msiadventures!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

I had a cough and felt rubbish last week but ok now. I’m hoping I didn’t pass it on to her. Probably more likely she’s brought it in because she works in a supermarket and several of her colleagues have had it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Oh !!!!!!, Hope she is ok. It seems quite nasty at the moment, take care all of you XXXNevertheless she persisted.4

She doesn’t seem that bad, coughing quite a bit. She was working with someone last week had it. It was inevitable she was going to bring it in, she works in a supermarket and exposed to it constantly. She’s done well to not get it so far.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
