Ouch Mishap. Men are very protective about their woofers. My DGS keeps posting his play people into his dads woofer.

Merry Christmas everyone. Great start to our day. The boiler is on the blink so no heating or hot water! Heaters and an open fire going.

Many people are going through worse than me today so I won't grumble about a boiler.

kitty I hope you Mum settles and you can relax and enjoy your day.

One mouse chewed various bits in my sitting room a while back Mishap I empathise with your DH but more importantly, hope you have a lovely day with your family, feet up,and enjoy.

Off to do some warming up excersises tchgrin

I should add that FC has not visited here, but mice have! - chewed their way into the under seat storage in the music room again, in spite of all our efforts to seal every crack, and the anti-mice plugin, and the peppermint oil, and the traps and the poison! They have chewed through the cable to by OH's woofer (don't ask!) and he is not a happy man. Oh dear.

Happy Christmas wishes to everyone. Dry and bright here, and our lovely view is to be seen at its best. We will set off later for my DDs (about 20 minutes away) where all the children and GC (6) will be there and we will be 14 round the table at lunchtime - my DD has just had her house extended and we will be in her lovely new (huge) sun room overlooking the garden. It is a wonderful place for all the children to run around and have
fun without getting under everyone's feet too much. I am sure the children will be dying to show us what FC has brought them.

I am under the weather but will be with people who understand and care, so it will be fine.

Kitty - hope all goes well with your mum and you are able to have a relaxing day.

Lots of Christmas wishes.

A neighbour is defrosting his car in NW London. At least it is dry and bright. I have not checked the temperature outside yet, not long having had a shower and washed my hair.

I am selling my car and naturally cannot find any of the paperwork. I know how I will be spending today and Boxing Day!

Merry Christmas from south coast. A lovely clear crisp day but no frost. Just about to have breakfast - a poached egg - over to DD's at about 12.30 for the rest of the day so enjoying a relaxed morning.

Good morning and merry Christmas to you all!
Just enjoying a cuppa before getting dressed. Dd and her girls are picking me up and we're having dinner with ds and family. Our first real family get together for years tchsmile

kitty fingers crossed!

Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning and a happy Christmas to everyone.

Woken by hailstones at 6.30 but now dry and bright if somewhat cold here in Chester.

Just given the dog a long walk to settle her for the day as we are off to dd for lunch. Should be home early evening though so she won't be left for too long.

Hope everyone has a good and peaceful day however you are spending it.

Happy Christmas to all.
Its raining now and a little thunder was heard earlier. Its all coming down from The North.

It's just me and him. I am about to have a brew and relax. Dinner is when I decide it will be.

Juliette Thu 25-Dec-14 09:20:43

Good morning and a Happy Christmas to you all. It's bright and clear here today, overnight frost slowly clearing under the winter sun. DS just popped in to pick up onions and butter! He is 'doing' Christmas dinner this year along with his DP, obviously forgotten the basics. Waved him off in my new onesie, not a good look on an OAP and such a faff to go to the loo! tchsmile

Good morning and a very merry Christmas to everyone.

Just taking a big deep breath here ready for a very hectic day! I do hope Santa has been kind to you all. tchsmile

Gagagran Thu 25-Dec-14 09:08:36

Happy Christmas everyone! Clear and bright here in SE Hampshire. Waiting for a Facetime from DGDs and DS in Austria ( ski-ing holiday). We had a pre-Christmas with them last weekend and another last night with DD and DGC - feel very lucky.

harrigran Thu 25-Dec-14 09:06:07

Good morning and Happy Christmas. It is dry after some overnight rain but the sky is clearing and I think we may have some sun.
Going to prepare salads and buffet food to transport to DS's home, we are having lunch in a hotel.
Special greetings to those who are alone tchsmile

Merry Christmas to GNHQ and all members.

A sunny morning here.
I hope your
mum is ok kitty and that Christmas goes how you planned xx
Special thoughts to all those who are alone and missing loved ones.

Merry Christmas Everyone.
Fine and clear here in Aylesbury.DGDs went to bed hyper as they'd been out to see Santa's sleigh come over. Half the street was out and we had a lovely viewing (space station came right on time!)
Presents have been opened and they're now hyper on chocolate - luckily we're fortified with bacon butties and Buck's Fizz for breakfast!

glammanana Thu 25-Dec-14 08:40:06

Happy Christmas to everyone take care & enjoy the day,a drizzly day here by The Mersey but not too bad really,we are out from about mid-day until later to-night being fed & watered by DS2s inlaws who are lovely people they have even done a place setting for Poppy so she is not left on her own.

Lapwing Thu 25-Dec-14 08:34:11

Good morning and Happy Christmas everyone. A quiet on for me and DH with just my sister and nephew visiting for dinner. A cold but bright day.

annsixty Thu 25-Dec-14 08:27:10

Good morning and Merry Christmas to you all. Rather quiet day for us but lots of nice food and a glass or two so will enjoy and lots of memories of happier times.

PRINTMISS Thu 25-Dec-14 08:21:23

Good morning and Merry Christmas to you all, Dark and rather chilly outside, but bright and warm inside. A quiet moment to think of those who are not so lucky and might be spending a sad or lonely Christmas. We have several friends like that this year. To hose of you who can Enjoy Your Days.

daffydil Thu 25-Dec-14 08:18:44

Merry Christmas one and all.
Frosty and fairly bright in this part of Essex too. Going to daughters today. Son in law will pick us up and we have taxi booked so everyone can have a glass or two wine. Then to son's tomorrow who lives in walking distance.
Enjoy your day.tchsmile

Happy Christmas everyone. As Kitty says, dry & bright here.

kittylester Thu 25-Dec-14 07:59:07

Merry Christmas everyone!

It looks coldish in North Leicestershire but I have not ventured out yet! The lounge was warm and toasty and is now covered in lurid toys and purple wrapping paper! How does Father Christmas do it?

Mum's home had the Critical Response Team out to her again last night so I won't start on the Bellinis until I have heard from a brother how she is today.

Merry Christmas and happy days to you all!

suevie34 Thu 25-Dec-14 07:53:34

Merry Christmas. Beautiful clear sky in West Suffolk this morning. Have a great day everyone tchsmile

Brendawymms Thu 25-Dec-14 07:42:38

Good morning to everyone and a Happy christmas. Calm and warm in East Sussex. The DGC watched the International Space Station cross the sky yesterday evening and believe it was Santa on his way to Australia! tchgrin
