Linda I am pleased you managed to get on to GR free. I didnt get on last time either. I didnt bother after 8 left it .

I have just had my shower and dressed all smart.I am ready for pick-up my son is collecting me to take me back to his home where I will have dinner.and Tea.
Linda I dread night times I am unable to sleep and it is begining to tell on me. I cannot take any natural sleeping tablets due to my warfarin that holds me back on so many things.
I might have to go and see the Doctor. but I dont like to keep going. I will have to see.?
Stephen hope your family gathering goes off well. I bet you dont have Haggis for dinner ? if you do where are the pipers. ?

love to all Rita.

Good morning everyone.

We had a brilliant night out last night,surrounded by our family. Plenty of photo's were taken, so when my daughter sends them to me I will forward them on, so you can take a peep at us lot.

Me thinks there will be quite a few sore heads this morning, but both of us are fine.
As I don't drink, and Roly knows his limits,and knows when to stop.
But, two of my daughters,and one grandaughter were oh so merry, but so funny with it.

Have a lovely day out Rita,enjoy yourself with the family.

We are having a lazy day today, lounging round the house doing nowt.

It was lovely.....but I'll get an ear full from my neighbour sometime today .

Oh well I'm sure we will be having visitors today , I can smell them ....LOL

I'm trying to pack but getting nowhere fast,keep stopping and popping in on here then having a cuppa.

I have had to send so many messages on e-mail to friends abroad thats taken up most of the morning.

Rita .....I know where that diving place is in Paphos its on the sea front near the harbour,its where I stay every year.
Hope you are feeling better now Rita.

Everyone else OK out there ?

Mind you saying that I never had one ..LOL

Pat ...enjoy your day with the telly I haven't had time to look at whats on ,I thought last night was not very entertaining hence going to bed early !!

Stephen ...have a great day with your lot, always wanted to see how you Scots enjoy the family activities on New Years Day.......you could have invited all your LadyDEEEEESSSSS....Oh well never mind we will wait next Year !!

Dermott...I hope you had a great night....you needed to come further South for the fireworks they were going like crazy here in Plymouth, but I soon went back to sleep .

I listened to the radio and at about 11.50pm I watched Big Ben. The fireworks were good.
Of course you've got to pack. That's the problem of going away!
