Hello All
I just thought it might be a good idea to have a new thread as Christmas and New Year are catching us up very quickly.
I appreciate that as we get nearer the time people will be busy with family time etc so I thought we could use this thread to discuss Christmas and the New year. Your plans for the festive period and hopes and aspirations for 2024.
There is one thing we all have in common and bonds us together Prostate Cancer - either as the person diagnosed/wife/partner/carer or family member and for some of us 2023 has been a tough old time. It's been a very good year though on the forum I think - everyone has pulled together and been very thoughtful, welcoming to new Community members and amazing at providing help, information and support to each other.- that's what we do.
On a personal note I would like to thank everyone who has helped me during the year - especially since I have had the "Community Champions" hat on - it's very much appreciated and long may it continue, thank you again!!. There will of course be the usual support throughout the festive season from the Community.
So on that note stay safe and have the best Christmas possible and a great 2024.
Best wishes - Brian and Mrs Millibob (Lorraine).
AW - Don't worry - when I log onto my laptop Mrs Millibob always says "and how are your flock today?"
I am 100% with you there - we have lots to be positive about and yes may 2024 be a cracking year!

Safe there. The mouse can't cope with cold. He definitely has a penchant for mince pies and brandy butter. The number he has had means that the new cure must be very close Joe.
So it could be a Merry Christmous!!!

Morning - Just getting ready for the "trip up North" -
If we get load of snow it could be 'Millibobsleigh'.
I like that one Steve, I just hope it's a nice day, it's bright, sunny and 5c in Oldham this morning and you know - I have that -"it's great to be alive feeling".
Hoping for a safe journey - a decent pie - and of course 3 points.
Hope everyone has a cracking Boxing Day whatever you are doing. Brian.

OK. So it is a warm and sunny 18C here. All is well because I found the sprouts lurking in the freezer so bubble and squeak is on the menu today and singing nicely. Safe journey Brian.
Yep - Sprouts were great last night - i hope yours are/were. I have jut put my thermals on to keep my "bits" warm!!
Just looking forward to some exercise and fresh air today (you always get the fresh air at Hartlepool!!).
Have a great day all - Cheers Alwayshope Brian.
