I can start with the Christmas DVD's for the grand sons!

Woohoo

What's on your list for them?

Same as always

Polar Express

The Snow Man

Father Christmas (Mel Smith)

and a new one I bought the other day (can't remember what it is now).

Muppet Christmas Carol is worth a look too for the young ones 

I zonked out on the sofa 2 hours ago with no blanket over me. Woke up and the garden door was wide open cos the dog was out, my nose is like bloody Rudolph and I'm shuddering about like something affected. I am in no mood to celebrate given that I feel like a big frozen TURKEY

And Prometheus before you say owt, SHUT UP

Good bloody morning

I may do that .............they're a bit too young to have known the muppets but I am getting the older one a muppet style ventriloquist dummy for Christmas.

I hate Xmas and not looking forward to any aspect of it this year - not one bit! The end of a shitty year with worse to follow.

Just thought I'd share!

For my brothers in NY.

That's sad . Don't know your reasons but I do hope next year turns out better for you.

You do have dog politics don't you. But be careful...

Sorry to hear that Carnelian.
Christmas can be a very lonely time of year...But it is only one day - snuggle down and watch the crap on TV.
I am sure this place will be open so there will be stuff going on here.
As for your bad year - I don't know your circs but you never know - next year may be better for you...

Aww Carnelian, that sounds a lot like my year has been. I'm having a very tight budget Christmas this year, and tbh will be relieved when it's all over 

All I want for Christmas is you

I'm trying, it took about 2 hours to warm up after waking...I've got quite bad anaemia at the minute so maybe that's why I'm feeling the cold more? (God knows - doc just shoved me on iron 4 times a day - I'm gonna be like the bloody Terminator soon).
The dog's great at letting himself out to the garden but he has yet to learn how to close the door behind him and he doesn't seem to be in any rush to learn. Typical bloke


Ooooooh George Clooney  *feels very warm in certain places*

Well I can't wait for this year to be over.

I'm looking forward to Christmas.  Finn is more aware this year and it's going to be great fun seeing his reaction when we drag a tree into the house and cover it with all kinds of crap  

Up until last week, this has been the happiest year of my life, I've loved and laughed through every second of it.  I'm sure not going to let anything stop me from marking the end of it in true celebratory style (thought maybe the snow might present a minor obstacle )

Hi Temps sorry I should call you Dirk now, Finn will love christmas this year as he is a nice age now he will love the tree and all his prezzies 

Hi Marge love   You can still call me Temps if you like.  In fact, I might go see if I can change it now I'm allowed stay   Keeping him away from the tree will be the challenge

How are you coping with the snow?  You looked after?

I have a blinking cat like that - grrr. I am sure he thinks it is a game!
Re the iron - I don't suppose its any use me advising you to eat lots of liver is it?

Failing that, spinach, and believe it or not - chocolate is very high in iron.

I cant quote Temps I am fine thank you  my lovely next door neighbour has swept the snow away this morning and put some salt down so I wont slip, I truely have lovely neighbours, have a lovely day,take care

Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You
