Hi there Yvonne, are you working all day tomorrow then.
Don't you just hate it when neighbours, try to outdo each other.
Our outside lights are only the dropping icicle type, but that is enough for us.
I have lights intertwined with the garlands,over the mantle in the sitting room,and dining room. And the lights on the tree,that's enough as we only have a small house.
Luv Mo xxx

Being an extravagant Scot..... I have a 15watt bulb lighting up the outside of the house......I allow it to be on 10 minutes a day..........15 minutes on Christmas Eve.

I should add it's an energy saving bulb....saves even more money.

Edit.

Did I say 15 watt...............NO CHANCE..........it's a 5 watt bulb

Linda I am sure they will manage to sort your Dad.s problem , I had
seen many doctors with my problem it was only when my own GP came back off his holidays he was checking my notes when my friend in Norfolk phoned him.He told Shirley he was on his way round ro see me. as he thought he knew what the problem was.?
My Thyroids have been making me put on weight and then lose it again.

Then when I had PMR they started me on steriods and I have to have 9 a day now (they are trying to cut them down) The doctor told me that I would gain weight and I am, I have tried everything but in a year I gained a stone.I was in a panic. he told me not to worry he said you have done so well with all your illnesses so i try now not to worry. but I get embarassed about it.

Not by ferry, or broomstick or limo but by a national express coach!

Hi Patricia which part are you going to? We are staying in Southsea but visiting family in Gosport. I bet the coach is quicker than the ferry.

Catherine,
I'm going to Horndean.
I catch the coach 11.25am and I'll get to the Hard at about 5pm.
There's an 45 min break at Bournmouth coach station.. It'll be manic. I expect extra coaches wll be laid on.
I'll pass on the bike ride even though I like Born to be wild by Steppenwolf!

Mo I have cardboard decorated tree cards you slot the cards in and hang them on your wall. I have one full now. I have four of these had them for years,one is a long letterbox, they look quiet decrative hanging on the wall.

Catherine I spent the day on Gurnsery this year my sister and I were staying in Weymouth and had a day trip on the ferry. it was so hot that day but we had a nice time. I would like to go back there again sometime we met 5 American women who had spent three weeks there they were doing a trip around the world lucky them.

Dermot Sailors and ships ;and a lovely fish and chip shop.;in Portsmouth.

Coooooooooooooooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Hello everyone. Welcome Catherine. Can we call you Cathy. Good luck Pat going by National Express. We went to Sunderland on that. An 8 hour journey, with no heating and a toilet that didnt lock or flush. Sheer delight.

Been up the West End again this morning. The police presence up there was very tight. I have never seen so many coppers in fluorensent jackets for a long, long time. Still, all good.

Got nothing again. I will keep my money for the Sales I think.

Are we going for a trip Stephen in a stretch limo. Just to celebrate Christmas you know. A night out will do us all good. The Savoy has just been renovated. I can highly recommend it. I do like a bit of posh now and again. Can we take a guest. I quite fancy David Tennant [another Scot, do we see a pattern forming here I wonder] And yes, I was a bit sleepless last night. I went to bed and had about 4 hours sleep. Not enough.

It is my last Sunday at work before Christmas. I dont want to do any more in the next couple of weeks, it will be bedlam. People get sooooo short tempered and ratty. I cant bear it. Especially as I have to smile and be charming. Not hard I know. 'head swells'

Hope everyone is well and war. Sorry about your parents again, but I guess being in hospital is the best place for constant supervision. Your Mum must be upset. I wish her well.

See ya later.

I can't offer the services of 'Fluffy Paws' to Trufflina and not to anyone else can I.

Lets not be selfish.......share 'Fluffy Paws'.
