Ooooh-Cyns-thank you for all the yummies. I've got a pain au chocolat in one hand a a bunch of smoked salmon for later.

Mr. Jones-thank you for including my special request. I just KNEW you wouldn't let me down. ;-) <3

Well, I think that was just about the best Christmas lunch I have ever cooked - It was delicious !! and I am now VERY full !!! ;-) :-D :-D

Grandchildren have been and gone and now it is time to relax !

This time last year I didn't think I would see this Christmas but it seems that I may yet have a few more to come ;-) :-D

Thank you so much for the prezzie Jonesey, you put a lot of thought into chosing it and it is indeed just what I need <3 - I will put it to good use on New Years Eve when I am having the grandchildren for a 'sleep over' ;-) :-D :-D

Hope you are all having a good time,

See you later,

Dea Xxx <3

When do we start playing Charades?

Wearing my paper crown from the Christmas cracker......I think there was a whistle in there as well but I seem to have misplaced it. :-S

Mo <3

Don't blame me for taking that whistle Mo !!! - You blamed me for the laptop but that wasn't me either !!! ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Don't know about anyone ese but I am just getting too old for this !!!

It's not yet 8 pm but I am 'kerknackered' !!!

See you all in the morning !!

Nite nites now,

Dea Xxx

Good morning all :-)

A light breakfast today I think - croissants, danish pastries, lots of toast with various spreads and pates to coose from.

Enjoy...............

Dea Xxx <3

Good morning whoever is about :-D


Thank you Dea for that breakfast - just what was needed after the feasting of yesterday.

Also, thank you to Jonesey for the extra hands - they will certainly come in useful I can tell you :-D <3

After church, we went to our son's for Christmas lunch which was as delicious as always - he's really got into the swing of catering for large numbers. There 17 of us, aged from 4 to 77 and everyone got on just fine :-)

We came home in the afternoon because my OH was beginning to flag, so it was a nice quiet evening in front of the tv for me. :-)

Hope everyone else had a good day - however you spent it.

Morning all. As I always say on this day every year, "Well that's another Christmas over in the blink of an eye".

Father Christmas brought me 3 tins of biscuits, 4 boxes of chocolates (2*Thorntons, 1 each Cadbury and Terry's) and a box of Maynards wine gums. All were the right colour, the right size and just what I wanted, no exchanges necessary. :-D

What did Father Christmas bring you?

OOOhhh, I'm busy filling buckets,

working the whole day through,

trying to find lots of things not to do ........................... ;-) :-)


It seems from the water board's web site that the whole of the area and the adjoining one are having trouble because there has been a burst in one of the large main supply pipes............

At the moment they do not know how long it will take to fix but will update the website as the day goes on :-(

There is only a thin trickle of water coming through at the moment and I fear we might lose that too :-(

I went over to my neighbours house to check things as they are away in India and found that the very low pressure had caused her toilet cistern to overflow and her kitchen floor was awash so I had to turn off the local supply valve and mop up the kitchen. - Thank goodness I went in when I did !!!

Hey Ho - what a day !!!

Still, at least it didn't happen yesterday !!! ;-) :-D :-D

I think I will go and spend another hour filling up a bucket :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Ah Dea..................hope you get the water back on soon.

Hope you all had a fab day yesterday

We had a really great day, relaxed and fun and then in evening we had a gang of visitors, all our son's mates

They went out to a party and left us at about 11.30pm and we went to bed!

What a lovely day <3

What a day indeed,Dea!!!!

I feel sorry for the people in your area who left the Christmas clean up until today!

I think I must have swallowed that whistle. Can't find it anywhere. ;-)

TWEET.

Well, there are still thousands of homes under several feet of flood water and without electricity over here and they have been like that since before Christmas so I really can't complain about having a few dirty dishes about the place ;-) :-( :-(

Hope you find your whistle soon Mo ;-) :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Oh dear Dea.......hope your water problems are sorted out soon...... <3



Those poor people with the flooded homes......such a shame.. :-(


Jonesey, perfume, choccies and biccies seemed to be the order of the day for me :-D


A lovely quiet morning - going to pick daughter up soon.........

The final guest has just gone home and I get an hour to myself before JB comes home from the match

Hope the water is back on Dea

Well Ginns - we do have water but it is a muddy dark yellow so I don't think I will be using it for a while !

I do have plenty of bottled water though so all is fine.

Apparently the pipe which has burst is a VERY big one - over 3 foot in diameter and they need special equipment to repair it which is in another part of the Country so they have to move it down to here :-(

The water has flooded the main by-pass so that road has to have been closed in order to work on it and they are now diverting water from various other places in order to supply us.

That is why it is the water is so very 'not nice' !!! - they will continue the work tomorrow !!

Dea Xxx

Mind you - the 'plus factor' is that the upstairs toilet has stopped making an awful noise which has been driving me mad all day !!

The bathroom is just across the hall from my office and because the presxsure has been so very low it is not able to stop the 'thingy arm' in the cistern from rising up to stop the overflow so it has been overflowing into the toilet noisily ALL DAY !!!!!!

Now it is SO quiet............................sheer joy !!!!!

Dea Xxx

Well Jonesey - to get back to your question - I have received flowers, chocolates and more chocolates.

Also a diary and a pen from my grandson to keep track of all my hospital appointments AND some over gloves from my grand-daughter to stop me burning my hands (which I did again on Christmas day - just for effect!! ;-) ) AND a picture frame with photo's of the grandchildren in from son and DIL

The chocolates will last me until Mother's Day when I will probably get some more ;-) :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Good morning everyone......... :-D


Please help yourself to whatever you can find.......there is bacon in the fridge Dea...and crumpets for Gins. <3


I am dashing off into town to try and exchange a pyjama top for daughter. Our M & S wasn't open yesterday so........off I go.


Back later....~~~

Good morning all :-)

Thank you Cynthia - I will help myself to a bacon buttie, if I may :-D :-D

Hope you have a good time at the shops ;-)

Dea Xxx
