Morning everyone thanks Taff one of my favourites Silver oldie today is another day you have dealt with your first Xmas and a good cry does you good one of my sons lives in London and I never know weather he is speaking or not I’ve never heard from him in two years although I message him all the time yesterday he sent a text saying merry Christmas you have just got to learn to live with it he is the same with everyone I’ve stood on my hands and clapped my feet to please him and then all of a sudden he’s not speaking again as hurtful as it is there’s nothing you can do about it we have just been for a good walk it’s very cold but bright I didn’t feel like going but I wrapped up and made the effort and pleased I did there wasn’t many people about a couple of joggers and dog walkers so get your coat on I promise you you will feel better for it . We had a lovely day yesterday ate to much but so what and everyone enjoyed there dinner played some games got some lovely presents the dog was spoilt and had a early night we were shattered. Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Really late posting from me, sorry. Head full of cotton wool still but I’ve walked DS1s pooch and feel better for it. 

Hope you managed to get out too @silver-oldie. So sorry your DS is like that. Please know you have friends and support on here xx Same for you @Suffolksue and @IzzyBee - sending hugs xx

We have a whole week before returning to work and plenty of food in, so no hitting the shops for us. I just need to feel better - so annoying!

Afternoon all...Much food consumed yesterday, the plan was to do exactly that again with some friends but a sore and scratchy throat has blossomed into something else so I'm sitting on the sofa, napping and watching rubbish and playing games..I might get the slicer out just to slice the beef ready for the freezer, it seems I can't stay out of the kitchen I'm sorry some of you had a rubbish day eysterday, these occasions do make you feel worse because we're all seduced by the general view that everyone else is having a fabulous time of it with family galore and perfect Chirstmases. Not true in the slightest...It's a shame I can't sort the logisitcs of a street party out for next year, because I know there are a few people in this street who are alone, I reckon that'd be fun. Anyone who can think of a solution, please share...But I am also glad soem of you did have a nice time, cherish them while they're here

A late entry for me. Some tidying and cleaning today while DM (83) was having a blood transfusion - fortunately roads were very quiet at 8am.  Dropped into Morries and picked up some reduced price tea cakes, mange touts and a chicken.  

Leftover gammon and salad for dinner which was tasty and quick. 

Happy Boxing Day
