with thanx to missie for this lovely seasonal graphic
Hi everyone...I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I hav'nt been online again lately as i've been busy and what with one thing or another going on around me that i can't go into, i just hav't had the time to spare online.
Last week, "?" myself and "ST" went into Barking town centre to have a look around. "ST" bought a PS3 game with the rest of the money he had been saving for weeks and i bought myself another book "SPOOKS" its a book of the series on TV. I hav'nt bought presents for anyone this year, i gave them all money instead so they can buy what they really want. I do hate buying gifts esspecially when they're not wanted, its just a waste of money.
I went round to Aunt "D" last Sunday for the day and we had a good chat. She is going to spend christmas day with her son and family, they will be going to friends in Basildon which i know she will enjoy and shes looking forward too! Aunt "D" told me shes got her appointment at Queens Hospital for an opperation on her leg 8/1/08 she will be home the same day.
Little Kayliegh next door came home from Hospital Friday. I'm so pleased shes home for her first christmas...Bless Her!
Yesterday Saturday... When "?" came in he took me to get the rest of my christmas shopping at Morrison., He dropped me off at 8am as normal and came back to pick me up an hour later. The shop was absolutely crowded that early in the morning, it was a nightmare to get round the shop, Gawd knows what it was like later on in the day. Later, "?" and i went to pick "ST" for the day and i made pie and mash with parsley sauce for dinner. "ST" and i like lashings of vinegar and pepper on ours. We all thoughly enjoyed our dinner which made a change as i had'nt made any for quite some time.
It is freezing fog outside, its been like that all day and its getting thicker, i'm so glad that i don't have to go out today, but i do hope its cleared up by tomorrow though as "?" and i will be going to pick "ST" up so we can go to the Heathway shops to buy some last minute bits and pieces for christmas. Mind you, i've got all i need to get really, but i do like to look around the shops this time of the year it makes me feel so christmassy.
Christmas Eve evening has always been THE moment for me. I remember going to a catholic church one christmas eve midnight mass with my friend, i had never been inside a catholic church before and every christmas i always remember that church with the congregation singing christmas carols and when we came out after the service had ended it was snowing and the church bells were ringing, it looked like a christmas card. I think it was either 1964 or 1965 and i don't remember it snowing christmas morning since then.
Well, i'm off now to do a couple of things before "?" returns around 5pm, so Merry Christmas to one and all... Best Wishes!
with thanx to missie for this lovely tag...
Hi everyone... I hav'nt been online for a while as i've been doing a few chores in the evenings after "?" had left and by the time i had finished i was too tired to go on the computer. 
"?" is feeling much better than he has of late, although he still has his ups and downs. "?" went along to the dentist last week, but the dentist was unable to do any work to his teeth, because of his heart condition. The dentist gave him a prescription for Amoxil sachet which is antibiotics and "?" has to take it along to his next appointment which is Thursday, tomorrow. Hes to take the medication an hour before the dentist can tend to his teeth. The reason for this is to prevent the heart going into shock. This is the pocedure for anyone who has heart problems. I've never new that one before myself. Next Tuesday is "?" birthday he will be 57 this year...hes a big boy now, i might let him out to play...lol.
Do you remember the premature baby next door who was in the national news and has many health problems that i've mentioned before. Well, little Kayleigh had to go back into The London Hospital two weeks ago to have an opperation on her bowel again. Jaimie her mum told me that the baby's lower bowel had to be removed as it was diseased and the upper bowel had to be stretched to be attached lower down. Jaimie was telling me that little Kayleigh won't have any feeling to go to the toilet. Poor little mite has certainly gone through traumatic times in her short life, shes only 10 months old God Bless her. She is now on the mend and hopefully she will be home for her first christmas
Last week i added sky movie channels to veiw over the christmas period. and i also ordered an office chair for my computer as the other chair kept cutting into my legs and it arrived today. "ST" fitted it altogether for me, hes a good boy. My b/i/l "H" came by Tuesday and he tried to fix my vidio recorder for me but without any success, never mind. I also posted the rest of my christmas cards this week too. I've still got a few bits of shopping to get in for christmas which i will do next week. 
Yesterday i phoned aunt "D" to let her know that i will be round to see her next Sunday for the day. She is ok and she still has'nt heard from the hospital about her opperation on her leg. I was going to go to visit her a couple of weeks ago, but she had a chest infection, so i did'nt go incase i caught it. I know that sounds selfish, but i have asthma and if i got a chest infection i normally end up in hospital and aunt "D" knows my situation on that scale, even so, it does make me feel guilty knowing that shes on her own when shes ill. 
"ST" was here today, he was on the computer earlier as he normally does when hes here. "?" and i left "ST" here while we went to the local shop. While i was there i bought aunt "D" one of those daily diaries, shes always writting in a diary and theres not much room to write in the smaller diaries and she is always running out of room to write. 
Well, thats all my news for now. I hope your all keeping well and in good health and getting into the christmas spirit, myself, i'm feeling all christmassy and i can't wait to see the grandchildrens faces when they open their presents on christmas day. Thats christmas to me, to see the kids happy...Best Wishes to one and all and everyone to take care!
