It's all very quiet here today !!!

I am off out soon to see Santa AGAIN !!

Taking grandchildren to the Christmas Party at the Golf Club and he will be there too :-D

I would have thought he would be a bit busy wrapping all the presents to be going to all these parties ;-)

Grandson is goind to be 'beside himself' when he opens his present and sees that he has a 'rock guitar' which he' SO wants' (according to him) !

Hope grand-daughter likes her Barbie Car present too :-)

See you all later.

Well, well, Jonesey - that was very sporting of you. We are most grateful for your efforts.........they were excellent. Please, call again soon...... :-D :-D



Have just sat down............... It was the nativity play this morning......angels in boots are quite cute :-D


Going for a browse round.


Hope Dea has some ear plugs for when her grandson gets hold of his rock guitar..... :-S

OMG.......I have just seen breakfast from Jonesey!

............poor lamb, he must have been starving

Hi everyone,

Been busy and tomorrow is mu M-I-L's 85th birthday so we are going to visit.

Hope to get my tree up in the next couple of days and the outside lights are (hopefully) getting done tomorrow :-D

Where is everyone?

I have been with Santa Linds :-D

I have to say, he must have been working VERY hard because he seems to have lost at least 2 stone since I saw him only last week !! - His large tummy was looking quite slim ;-)

Goodnes knows what he will look like by the time Christmas is over :-D

Hope your M-I-L has a lovely 85th birthday !! <3

Dea Xxx

How many times have you gone to see Santa?

......do you have a crush

I think I must have Ginns :-D :-D :-D

Nite nite,

Dea Xxx

Grandchildren got home and grandaughter put her barbies in the car to go to grandson's room to view the rock concert that they both performed !!

We left quietly and left them all to it :-D

Dea Xxx

Dea sounds like everyone had fun :-D

Have a lovely time at the party Linds - sounds like had fun and knew just when to leave!!!


Settled down to browse around and then had a visitor........so only just back.

Tis certainly a bit quiet.

Never mind, we'll no doubt make up for it during the week.

Wonder how our Sylvs is getting on??

Oh dear...repeating yourself Cyn

I've deleted one Gins. Must have been caused by the hiccups cos my day has been a bit like that... :-D



Was a bit stressed this morning because I had forgotten to set the alarm on my phone and we need to get up at 6.45 so that OH's meds fit in with him being able to go you know where for 11 am.


Didn't get up till 7 am so that meant we were 15 mins behind time and those 15 mins really matter. We only just made it cos of the delay. At 10 oclock he couldn't even lift his razor to have a shave. By 10.15 he finished getting ready and by 10.30 we were in the car.....................huge sigh of relief all round..... :-D


On Christmas Day we will have to get up 5.45 to get to the special 10am service................sheeeeeesh......zzzzzzzzz no rest for the wicked ;-)


Think I may take meself orf to bed now.........too much excitement for one day

Night night all..........xx

My Dads sister sent me some photos of my GG's they go back to 1890 .Have one of my GGran when she was 18.

Also one of her in uniform holding one of her granchildren who was a new baby she was a midwife and had 10 children.

I am now lucky enough to have photos of 7 of my GGparents no one can remember ever seeing a photo of the missing GG :-(

My Aunt got the photos ages ago from her sister in Canada (now deceased) and she never knew her Grandparents names (?) I was able to tell her their names their siblings names and their DOB and DOM and the date they died.

MY GGrandad looks like one of my Dads brothers :-)
