    Great news! Have a lovely day :)
  • Thank you all, :) I have had a busy day, donating the food, then, more stuff to the charity shop, then to relatives waving the cheque - I have seen their joy and surprise (I don't think they expected it anytime soon!), feeling tired n happy.

    ;) Best news of all, the relative that was coming, then cancelled, has decided to pay a flying visit after all (on the drive tomorrow) so we will get to see them in a socially distanced way, to see they are ok. I think they realize my relative isn't in the best health, so, don't want to miss seeing them. Now Santa has been sprinkling a bit of his magic again! :D I got the visiting relative some last minute pressie's that they won't expect, so hoping they will be chuffed with that!

    Wishing us all a very Merry Christmas, I am now sitting with feet up, gin & tonic in hand to watch the silly stuff on telly, hic! Cheers all! :D
