DJ360 6,730 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Early hours as ever here.. so technically it is already Christmas. Wishing all of you a Happy Christmas, and a Peaceful, Healthy New Year. But mostly, wishing you all that you wish yourselves. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

trogg 2,016 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 A merry Christmas to you all. May your Christmas be better than mine, I have done the wrong thing again. The wife is always complaining about price increases especially power, with me leaving lights on and doors open. So I decided to help her save money. So for Christmas I brought her an iron, a light ,a cobblers last and a little meths powered heater, She wasnt happy, so no dinner for me and a night in the spare bedroom. Roll on the New Year. PS I only followed Bekays example of useful presents. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha 176 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 I'm with Beekay for Easter time. BBC had hardly any news broadcasts and totally abysmal programmes. I watched half of 'Spitting Image' the BBC borrowed from that equally abysmal Britbox. I was never tempted to subscribe to it. Total rubbish. Listened to Radio4 extra which was far more enjoyable listening. Wishing you all a happier and healthy new year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,140 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 ‘The Repair Shop’ is the identical book as the one I bought my wife last year and she can’t abide the Hairy Bikers so their recipe book didn’t go down too well either. Not the most popular pig in the sty then! Much like my socks and a boring book on the history of Southwell. How I love Christmas! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,151 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Well Nonna, I've had a decent day. Done bugger all as its been raining most of the day. It's been like a ghost town all day, but the inmates are being brought back after visiting relatives. A few more lights on now. Happy New Year to you and yours. B.

DJ360 6,730 Posted December 25, 2021 Report Share Posted December 25, 2021 Felt rotten again most of day with earache and nausea...followed by a migraine.. complete with light show...but improved a lot after a nice meal. I've just watched a lovely programme about the musical Kanneh-Mason family from Nottm... Did you say you knew them Lizzie?) And now watching a programme about Pavarotti. Looking forward to seeing the kids and grandkids tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,419 Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Sorry to hear that mate, here's a joke to cheer you up: Two socialist sat on a porch, one turns to the other and says "have you read Marks"? The other replies, "yeah, I think it's these wicker chairs”... boom boom... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,510 Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 We were watching the same TV channel this evening DJ, far better than re-runs of old comedy shows. Can’t brag about ‘knowing’ the Kanneh-Masons but they are near neighbours and we see them all around and we exchange pleasantries! Can you just imagine living in a house with seven kids learning a musical instrument?! It was bad enough when our two were having piano lessons many years ago. I really regret not having lessons at the same time but when the boys packed it in we gave the piano to Wild Willy Barrett when we lived in the same village. The Pavarotti programme was wonderful and so interesting. We had front row seats at Wembley Arena to watch him perform, can’t remember the year, then a private dinner at the Grosvenor Hotel in his presence, and all the guests got to speak to him. The evening cost an absolute fortune but so worth it because it’s something we’ll never forget ……. hopefully! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,082 Posted December 26, 2021 Report Share Posted December 26, 2021 Well Christmas Day What can one say? We were going over to the youngest sons for Christmas dinner, the daughter in law phoned day before, hacking, sniffling down the phone. Not sure if you still want to come, have sent of covid test in case. Waited to hear result, it was negitive but. what would you do? being over 60/70 years would it be wise to even get a common cold or put yourself forward for one. Any way thought it best to stay put (Christmas dinner on back burner) well yougest grandson was not happy about this (for some reson he misses us) took it out of his mum, i closed my phone to him just till he saw sense. Next day a text came though thanking us for his present of a watch, what are you going to buy with your money i ask? what money he said. you should have found it in your Christmas card, it was £50 00. Phone went dead, 2 mins later OH!! thanks for the £50 the card was only in with all the other rubbish, Well Merry Christmas, This Christmas was even better than last year thanks Boris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,600 Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 This morning we were well on the way to spend the day with one of our sons and his family at Bicester when he phoned and told us that one of his 20 year old boys who still lives at home had this morning tested positive. Paul and I had been good and done a LFT last night which were negative , also our son and his wife.did the same and thy were negative too. We discussed the pros and cons of continuing on the journey as we negotiated the 13 roundabouts through Milton Keynes, but eventually decided not to visit. We went right round the last roundabout and started back home again. So we’ve done almost 120 miles in miserable weather for nothing … Very disappointing - is this how life is going to be from now on? It was our son who made the final decision as he said he didn’t want us oldies to catch this ‘moronic’ virus . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
