I remember sitting on the stairs with my teddy in my nightie while half the street got plastered and sang along to the piano on New Years Eve

I remember that too, today people are to busy watching TV or getting ready for the next days work to get together.....

I'm not sure they want to see her food.

I still have loads of Pyrex, my mother had tons of the stuff and so it's cluttering up my cupboards

I still have some 'OLD' ones of those in my cupboard full of 'useful one day' items......
