	FACT. A friend overheard two women talking while window shopping, 'Yes!' say one 'I really like Christmas.....but I can't stand all the Religious nonsense'. Cath could hardly believe what she had just heard.

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4 590 Send Message	Stephen, I really wish people would remember what the true meaning of Christmas is, and not what it has become.......a big money spinning venture for big businesses. And yes I know it's what we have done, but it's getting out of hand now. Children are not satisfied with a small token gift,as we were as children. It has to cost big bucks, for them to appreciate it.

	Fiona aka Ruby, I have to agree with that. My grandchildren are very good and always grateful for what they get but I have encountered mega tantrums with some who had better remain nameless. Well thats me for tonight, got to be up early so goodnight to everyone, Cath xx

	Hi Fiona Welcome Yes the little that I look after hardly sees any TV and I watch Cbb's with her occaisionally No comercials on there I used to find that when mine were young you would get them what they had seen and asked for early so as not to miss out !!!! But by the time Christmas came they had changed their minds.OH well they got their original choice in this house. Sleep well everyone Linda :o) XxX

	Mo, how do you know I am a dirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrty gal. Who has been talking, was it Neil or David. I have been the model of propriety all day. Gawd its boring. Ah yes religion. Its a funny old thing isnt it. I wear a crucifix that Kevin bought me for my 21st birthday. I do not take it off. I got married in it. Had the children in it. Got taken ill in it. Only took if off for the ops. My lovely Mum died 5 years ago. I bought her a cross about 30 years ago. I now wear it on the same chain at the crucifix. I was in the jewellers the other week, and the conversation betwen two young bimbos went as follows. To the salesman. Could I have one of those cross thingies, with a little man on it, please. WHAT. Is it just me. Or was that potty.

	(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)?(_)? Tea or Coffee Porridge or Cereals. Scrambled eggs on Toast. Morning all. It's a different fella that is posting this morning. I'm soul searching and having to struggle with very deep feelings of emotion. Why ? I found out last night about a Half Sister I never knew existed. She is getting on in years. I know she too is having to cope with the same feelings as me. She also wants to know more about her dad . Information that only I can give her. She knew about my family and had seen various postings in the local Press about us over the years. What to do ? That is the BIG question. Let sleeping dogs lie. Or meet with her and give her information that may calm her soul. My mind will certainly not be 100% on work today. Have a good day ya all !
