Good evening friends,
well thats it now!! If I've forgotten to post a card or buy a present its too late so I can finally relax and stop worrying. Veg all prepared, stuffing made, gammon boiled, covered in orange slices and cloves and drizzled with honey ready to shove in oven first thing. OH will get up at 5.30 and put turkey in for me. Time for a little drink methinks.
Will raise a glass to all my lovely friends on here, (can't believe I've only been part of this thread for 2 weeks), seems like a lot longer and I mean that in the nicest sense.
Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow, I might not get a free minute till quite late but will try and pop on,

Merry Christmas to all,

Cath xx

You are most welcome on our lovely little friendly thread.
Have a great day tomorrow, and see you over the holiday period,as no doubt most of us will be popping in.
Love Mo xxx

We don't have turkey, not keen on it, I've cooked pork and lamb today and I'll cook beef tomorrow. God knows why I do all that because there'll only be the 3 of us. We've had different members of my family this week and we'll have different members of hubby's family next week, but Christmas Day is just for us.

Marilyn
Hubby does in fact have to go to work tomorrow !!! He is hoping to do a shorter shift........ but that depends upon the backlog being cleared.Of course there are countries and places that do not celebrate Christmas.

The valleting was down to SIL going on his Christmas celebrations !!! Our youngest came round to do a claen up job......... so as Mum was already not 100% Dad chipped in and helped.

I have our gammon on cooking now so hubby can have some for his lunch before he goes to work tomorrow as I will be eating at the relations tomorrow. A first for me as we have had Christmas at home for many years now and I have always done all the preparation. Hubby is very good at cooking and enjoys it too.

Have a lovely evening everyone

Linda :o) XxX

PS Stephen hubby might well be using a mallet on some of the aircraft but I sure hope he isn't getting hammered eh?

Marilyn, I think everyone knew you meant Cath when you put Christine.

Cath, you've settled in here just fine, you're a fully fledged member now.

Mo, Brent can't talk, so he can't ask for anything ............he just expects to get everything.

We had loads of snow this morning, hubby had to walk to the butchers to get the beef we'd ordered. He was freezing when he got back. Luckily we haven't had any more the rest of the day, so my niece and her kids were able to get here.

Hi Pauline
Yes thanks Just got to take the ingredients for prawn cocktail so that was easy

I didn't realise Brent was non verbal does he use a board at all to comunicate?
My youngest worked with some profoundly disabled young people and I was amazed at how she could cominicate with them.

Please give him a big {{{{{{{{{{HUG}}}}}}}}}}}} from me and my family.

I am just logging in to say hope you have a good evening before santa comes to visit you. there have been enough Santa.s on Tv today for people to think they dont exsist. lol

my phone went a few minutes ago and my friend from Norfolk nearly had a fit. she said" Rita I didnt think you would be there I thought you would be at your daughters" then she heard me speak and knew why I wasnt . she was in Norwich and said there had been a coach crash and asked if I had heard anything on the News I said yes and told her.

Mary our friend who goes to Scotland every Christmas for three weeks to stay with her daughter and family had flown up there as the roads were un passiable in places so her son in law had booked her a flight instead.
Shirley said she had seen her off .

It was nice to hear her she was my best friend in Norfolk we went everywhere together.
It is still cold here I think we might have another lot of snow in the next few days. I was hoping I would get over this and beable to go shopping.

Pauline I posted those photos off. that should give you a good laugh.they went two days ago.
