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!
