Hi all,
Cold, cold, cold, and no end to it, oh maybe snow then it will have turned warmer. Perhaps a white Xmas.
My ex son in law and his wife came in today to wish Johan luck at the hospital tomorrow. They are off next Sunday to France where they have rented a house together with two more couples, plus one son and girlfriend. With two good cooks amongst them they should be ok. They will go for long walks, (in the snow?), play cames indoors etc. Sounds to me a wonderful idea for them all now that most of the children have left the "nest".
See you all tomorrow.

it was from Issy to Liz . BABS -Maisie -thought it was her who had sent it so I opened -now on it`s way to righful owner, Ros xx

Hi Ros, not mine, they are red or green. I know there is also someone on FTF who has a card that is not signed so no idea who it is from it it is a white card with a silver square and pretty turquoise snow flake. So if you recognise it let Carol Ann know!!

Hope mine all arrived safely to everyone, annoyed as the post office said they needed large stamps on!! said they did not go through the slot easily. Never heard anything so silly.

Weather dull!

Solved -Maisie (BABS ) thought it may have been her , but it`s from ISSY -I`ve mailed her to tell her

still a mystery -who sent to the wrong address

hello to you all, not been on for a while as lots going on and a few trips away.
Many thanks for the lovely cards that have been delivered Ann, Sylvia, Nadine,Issy, Lizz, Carole, Lynne Jaquie and Flo.

Hope every one is keeping well, I managed to come back from the UK with a cold as well as bag fulls of goodies :))
Have a daughter coming over for Christmas then mid January we are off to Canada.
Planning to set up a small craft group in the Gite in the New Year as there are a few people interested and nothing about locally.

Hi all,
A thick white frost is covering all the cars outside on our parking terrein and I think how lucky I don't have to go out in this weather. Our lovely newspaper boy delivers our daily newspaper every day around 5 in the morning. I know because I saw him on his bike one morning when I was awake early.
If we don't get the newspaper and we phone before 10 am then we will still get it the same day. Three cheers to these sort of people. We don't have milkmen delivering milk like they do in the UK, but it is so easy these days with fridges and milk keeping longer.
My cards are coming in in small numbers. Today I received only one. This was from Jill. Thank you Jill, lovely card as usual.
I have been getting one or two cards from unexpected people, so then the mad dash to make one or two extra. Yesterday evening I made 4 extra, even though I thought I was finished.
Not long now girls. I have a problem, do I go on a diet and loose that little extra round the waist or get the sewing machine out and let out a piece in my trousers? With this cold weather I will probably opt for the sewing machine.
Now till tomorrow.

Who`s made a mistake addressing their cards ? Got a card today addressed to Liz Lewis but my address on it -must be someone on here , it`s a white envelope if that helps -will I open it ?

Hi everyone hope you are all keeping nice and warm. Have you all finished your shopping, I know I certainly haven't!! Still 2 weeks to go so I have some time. The weather has been so cold here today just could not get warm, so off to bed early.



Oh went to see his consultant yesterday and it looks like he will be having surgery they wanted to do it straight away but he said to wait till after Christmas, not one thing but another.



Seem to have picked us a virus on my computer no idea how to sort it out, looks like it is going to be very expensive to get someone in before Christmas, just wish I knew a little man that could help!!



Keep warm

Sorry Ann I was just explaining so you would not feel guilty!! Think most people seem to be doing their own thing.
Well went shopping this afternoon and it rained all the time, in fact still raining and the worst part except for getting wet through did not manage to get anything I needed!!

Hi all,
Nice to see everybody posting again. Yes, the cards are all lovely, and if I have forgotten to thank somebody personally please forgive me. I blame it on "age".
Our Xmas tree is now standing and the lights flashing. Johan fixed it up whilst I was at the hospital this afternoon. I have to set up the nativity stall and make one or two decorations and then I can relax - hopefully.
Tomorrow hospital again and then a look around the shops. We hope on Thursday also to look around town.
The weather is cold and miserable but the sun did show its face for a little while.

I`ve just sent to my group -thanks to those who have sent me cards -they are all lovely and different, Ros xx

Jo I wasn't complaining, just explaining.

Ann, a lot of the group said they were sending to everyone, this was their choice as I sent the group listings out to everyone. I am sending to all, but very happy if I only get from the ones in my group.

Finished making all my group cards and put them in the post yesterday so hopefully they will arrive safely. Still have 30 to finish so will have to get to work. Did nothing over the weekend as looking after different grandchildren

Very dull and miserable down here, such a change from yesterday. Bring back the frost and sunshine.

thank you Jackie for the Christmas card. I hope I have remembered to thank people as I go along. Feel a bit guilty because i only sent out 14 cards and am getting them from those I didn't send to. Apologies to those but, as I said before I already send more than 130 cards.

Margaret, i hope things will pick up for you in 2009.

Hi folks hope everyone is keeping well and nice and warm, so cold here today stayed white over all day.

Margaret asked me to post for her so I have copied her post from FTF

From Margaret -Could i just say a big thank you to the ones of you that have sent me Christmas cards , I am unable to return cards as my husband was made redundant in October and as we know jobs are hard to come by at 60,and things dont look good I am coming off the Birthday group until things improve but i would like to still keep in touch via here , I have to look at where i can try and not spend money and I'm afraid it was my card making that was first on the list. Love Margaret.xx

Hi all,
Where is everybody? Hope you are all well. Have you met Santa Claus yet?

Ann & Mandy thank you for the lovely cards, mine were closed.

Hope all is well with everyone xx
