OGG...thats what I meant Cyns...buy the gift I normally do but spend the extra


Sigh..............

Obviously not then !!

Nite nite all then !!

Dea Xxx

Anybody there ???

Dea Xxx

Mind you, they DO give you 'the munchies' !!!

I found a peppermint aero 2 minutes ago and I have almost eaten it already !! :-D :-D :-D

Look out for a BIG lunch tomorrow !!!

Dea Xxx

I just wonder who invented those 'steroid' thingies???

He/she deserves a BIG hugg !!!!! - They change people's lives !!!

Makes you think doesn't it ??

Dea Xxx

You can't buy your brother a gift with the money he gave you Gins........ :-S
Guess you will just have to buy something you wouldn't normally buy - as a treat????


It's been a wet, windy and thoroughly miserable day here today......:-(


Just waiting for Strictly......yayyyyyyyyyyyy

Why is Persie off the scene?? - I thought she was back now ??

Anyway - I have raided the fridge and the freezer and have locked myself in the kitchen for the past hour !!

I have 'prepared' for the morning !! - Never fear !!! ;-)

Dea Xxx

Glad you feel better Dea.....think of something for breakfast as Syl is not here and Pers is off the scene

OOOhhh - steroids have 'kicked in' - I am feeling much better now !!!

Watch out 'you lot' !!!

Dea Xxx

P.S. - I 'think' I am on for breakfast and lunch now tomorrow Sylvs, unless our Persie is around ???

Dea Xxx

I am sure that they will be very tasty Ginns !!!

I had some like that the other day !!

Dea Xxx

Yeah like Sainsbury need the cash!

I have just chopped the strongest onions every.....even made me cry and onions dont bother me normally

Cottage pie for when the boys get back from the footy......we won today....for Gary Speed

Actuarly !!!

You could probably contact my local Sainsbury's and donate it to them to pay for steps to be put on the outside of their freezers !!! - Tell them, I might go back to them then ???

Dea Xxx :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Well, if it were me Ginns, I would stil look for a 'little local' group who do something which makes a difference and who don't usually get a great deal of help and I would give it to them.

But, Hey - that's just me' !!!

Dea Xxx

I do that every Christmas Dea, I give to a local charity, mainly the cancer therapy centre (Cavendish) that helped my best mate get through her breast cancer fight

I guess I could get him a special gift.......gowed knows what!

I know what you mean Ginns about the 'cash' but why not put it to good use??

Find a local 'charity', Hospice, Hospital or something you feel comfortable about who provides Christmas Dinner for 'Old folk' or 'Homeless folk' or 'Children in hospital' etc and donate it to them ???

That way it will be of some use!!

Dea Xxx

P.S. - I am not religious in any way but I have known people, over the years, who were in the Salvation Army and I DO know that they do a VERY good job which directly benefits those who need help - I always give them my support! - Just a thought !

Dea Xxx

We dont start our Christmas shopping until about a week or two from now. If we start early we just carry on adding to the gift list and it costs a fortune

We also go on Wednesday evening after work as its quiet

Brother sent over some cash (quite a lot) with JB to go towards the Christmas dinner....I is not a happy bunny.....I dont have guests so that they can pay

He says he'll be offended if I dont accept it.........any ideas?

Are they 'woolly warm unmentionables' then Ginns??? - They will keep you warm and stop you getting all those nasty colds and viruses!!!

They MUST be a zip or something in there somewhere ??? ;-)
