Belated Merry Christmas! I’ve not been on, I’ve been enduring a family Christmas 
my daughter was with her dad so I was with my siblings and parents. I always have high hopes but then reality kicks in 
we did have some fun moments and my mum had worked really hard bless her. Hope you’re all well and those who’ve been unwell are feeling better xx
Morning. Not much going on today apart from tidying/housework, wondering about next washing day, although I don’t think the weather is going to be too grand for that, and planning the week. Still have sewing to do, and odds and ends to sort which seem to have been hanging around for yonks. Looking forward to next year and getting to grips with the bigger jobs waiting to be done. Now just got to decide whether to clean the outside windows 
Wishing you as good a day as possible ….

Sorry this is late .... nothing new there with me
I hope everyone has managed to have a good if not Merry Christmas.
I realised on Christmas Eve, I was saying well for me as soon as Christmas Day is over thats Christmas finished and I've not even had chance to put up most of my decorations or done the washing thats on the kitchen floor 
Then it dawned on me..... most people 'enjoy Christmas from the 1st December' - going off out to various places, Christmas markets, theatres and the likes..... whilst me, me, I'm trying to tidy up a house (that fights with whatever comes in during the night and messes it all up, only for me to have to try again). All through December I am 'trying' to 'get ready for Christmas' .... and I'm missing out on the things that make everyone feel part of Christmas - I get Christmas Day and its gone 
so, my lesson next year is to start in November and try to spend the whole of December having bits of Christmas ho, ho, ho.
This all said Christmas can be a very lonely and sad time of the year - I can see this with my dear mom - if ever a person that loves her family is left out - its my mom, 94 with family carry on doing their own thing totally oblivious to the lonliness, sadness and tears (I say this my nephew, moms grandson as noticed this and said he will try and phone on a regular basis, saying he has no excuse, bless him - this is all mom needs to feel wanted and needed.....
Right, I am changing now, as not here for doom and gloom ho, ho, ho.
It's lovely to catch up on all the posts and of course send love and christmas greetings to very special friends 
I've not been on so much as the webpage keeps showing that me warnings that the 'Connection is not private' that the website may be impersonating "community.macmillan.org.uk" to steal my personal information or financial information (I'll attach a screenshot) - so to be honest it worries me (especially as I don't understand most of this).
Anyway beautiful Fruit Loops - sending loads of love and hugs to you and of course heres to wishing each and everyone a lovely New Year xxxx
