AWAKE.........

Struggling to reply to posts as I'm not getting text box unless I hit reply to original post from 5 years ago!

Loving the trees. Ours never go until after hubby's birthday on 9th. We only out one up and a couple of years ago we replaced our heavy, full 7ft tree with a light weight skinnier 7ft tree as with our dodgy backs it's lighter to get up and down the attic. I've been charging up my outdoor solar lights which will go outside on tree and a set in porch. I'd love to decorate the mantle over my wood burner but afraid it's a fire hazard as it's permanently lit through winter now. It's multi fuel so we use coal to keep in when freezing overnight.

For some reason I can't tag either but safe travels Mag & Karen. I'm lazy today and climbed back into bed after shower with a cup of tea. Didn5 get to sleep till after 5.30am!

I love the idea of the named stocking Tired Minion. It will be so exciting celebrating your first Christmas in your new home.

I hope your Dad is not in any pain. Good that you are getting a bit of a break from it.

Best of luck for the interview xx 

Oh Grogg sorry to hear you struggled with sleep last night. It is such a cold day I think curled up in bed is the best place to be.

I must admit my husband struggled with the trees this year and I did find decorating them harder. We might need a re think next year. I am leaving decorating the rest of the house until we get back as my son and his fiancee can then help decorate. 

Thank you for the well wishes for the travelling. I shall be glad when we have arrived!

I shall try to send pictures of the main square as it is so beautiful always xx

Safe travels, Mag123, Prague is lovely but must be even better when decorated for Christmas! 

Night night Fruit Loops, sleep well and stay safe, plenty of sleepy fairy dust (extra helping for Grogg) any who wish

ourful!I went to a wreath-making class too.2 friends were doing it with me.I actually only went to get to know them better as I have a lovely Christmas wreath,and they asked me….So…the Assistant said mine was “a bit wild” and my neighbour said it looked like a Catherine wheel!but I must have my Artistic Expression!so anyway…when I got it home I gave it my neighbour who said it was very nice…she been helpful all year….I am afraid I am only artistic when feel moved by an idea!!

I made lovely friends with my friend and we are hopefully going to hear Handels “Messiah”….Getting out for me is getting to make friends as much as anything.Sometimes it is worth the expensive lesson!

After lockdown friends are SO important!I know of a few who willingly say they have mental probs after it…I can count on my hand the amount of people who told me this this week.

People are just the same the world over….I will try again to upload photos …

Am fortunate as ours is a very sociable Church ,but it did take a while….xx

I am EVERSO sorry you only got most of my post!

the story goes…Right.Tired Minion says the pages are jumping about !and you are so right!!!!

When I went to post mine I tapped the wrong thing,and it leapt right off the page and into the ether!so trying to be quick-thinking,I hurriedly “copied “it and saved,,and pasted it again when the elves weren’t looking!!!

yeah!!so,right….I got most of it!

on “Walking back to Happiness”we have “swans a swimming,and a Partridge in aPear tree….well,that was “Lords -a-Leaping”!,,,xx

I was telling Grogg that her wreath was beautiful xxthen I was going to read other. Posts sorry if I missed them as have to go out now xx

Oh dear now you’ve got me twice!am going now in case I do another mistake !!sorry if I never got to read more recent posts!it isn’t personal…just going cross-eyed with the technology!xx

Hiya Flossie25 only just seen your reply. Yes Indian nurse paid an agency in her country. She's from Kerala very nice but English is a few words and much pointing and nodding. She can't work as a nurse until Passed all NMC requirements, but is working as care assistant bless her. 

 Lacomtekp good news about mammo.I recently paid for a private one for peace of mind, got result straight away.

 Violetsniff I'm jealous of all your new friends. I want to be your friend and go to things with you. I'm now thinking about lurking around garden to find bits to make one xxx

Oh Snowy's Mum that really has tickled me the idea of you making a friend out of scraps but I hope it is not a true word spoken in gest as you have a of us as friends x

Just been out for a wonderful meal with my son, his fiancee and her parents. We don't speak a
