Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark but dry here in Brackley this morning, usually we get early morning mist.
Anyway, house work beckons this morning, before I go off to Bicester and Buckingham for usual coffee stops and shops.

Just dropping in to wish all on this gentle thread a nice evening and very best wishes for the coming year. It is our 48th wedding anniversary tomorrow and we are so grateful to still have each other and be in reasonable health. For those feeling sad, lonely or unwell sending prayers for peace and better days ahead as the New Year dawns.x

It will be an early night in the Gillybob household too . Not even aloud a small glass of wine . Haven’t touched a drop of alcohol for 3 months now . Don’t feel any better for it mind you.

Good morning all.
After a very mild few days it seems slightly more chilly in Stockport.
My family went home yesterday after what turned out to be not the most satisfactory and restful visit, but hey ho as they say.
They got home to receive the news that their other GF died last evening.
He was 92 and my D and her H are estranged so a difficult one.
Out for coffee with a friend this morning and an early night for me, no jollies, just hoping for a better year, the first without my H.

Good Morning to all from a bright but cold Fife. Just wanted to wish everyone a 'Guid New Year' when it comes. Many have had not such a good year in 2019 but I hope 2020 gets better for everyone. GN is such comfort to a lot of people and of course more so to those who are on their own. Celebrate the way you want to and enjoy yourselves. Hoping this next year will bring everyone good, healthy and better times. flowers

Good morning from the NE coast where we have a very cold and frosty start to the day.

Just enjoying the 3rd cup of tea of the morning tucked up in bed listening to cars being scraped and DH sleeping . Why is it that he is awake almost all night and then goes into a deep sleep at about 7am and sleeps for 2-3 hours ?

Yesterday all seemed to go a bit pear shaped and I got nothing done that I had planned to do. Reluctantly decided to ring around and find another dentist as I have lost all faith in my own . I have been with the practise for over 30 years but the old dentist retired and it was taken over . I have never been afraid of the dentist, ever but the thought of going back there fills me with terror so time to move on I think . Muddling on with antibiotics and pain killers until 6th January.

Looking back on 2019 I can’t say anything other than it has been a completely sh*t year from beginning to end.

I am very reluctant to say that “things could not be much worse in 2020” but that would really be tempting fate wouldn’t it ?

To all of those who have had a good year, enjoyed happy times, travelling and more....long may it continue . smile

To those who have suffered ill health, lost loved ones or for whom 2019 hasn’t been so good, let’s hope we all see some sunshine very soon.

.....and finally at the end of this rotten year, I would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported me with kind words, messages and helpful advice . It has meant so much to me to know that my virtual friends were there with me, through thick and thin.

With much love and good wishes for 2020

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Clear and frosty today with a lovely sunrise over the field behind the house.
Slept late despite a early night.
Washing on and a bit of shopping to do. May treat myself to a steak for this evening.
Wishing everyone health and peace for 2020. Thinking of Marydoll, Gilly, Lins and Dragonfly.

Willynilly Tue 31-Dec-19 09:07:16

Morning everyone, not much on here today. Gym, dog walking and a M&S dine in for 2 tonight. We’re not ones for partying.

Well crikey, the last day of the decade. How did we get here? Where did it all go? So many changes, so many challenges and now just memories. Here’s to another year and another decade. May they bring you peace, health and happiness.

Morning All

It looks as if it’s going to be another lovely day here in the north of Norfolk. Just a bit more ironing to do and the sheets to get back onto two beds and normal service will be resumed.

I fear that was our last full on family Christmas. We haven’t had one for a few years now and decided to go out with a bang. DD2 and family staying for five days was too much for our little house - and us! Hopefully today I can catch up with GN, every time I’ve peeked in someone has interrupted!

Happy New Year Everyone and may it be the best of years - especially for those for whom 2019 was ever so slightly c**p.

Good Morning from a dry S Welsh coast.
Thanks to all on this thread who have shown me such kindness and support throughout this awful year.
May next year be happier and healthier for us all.

Good morning from a rather dull Birmingham. My three year old granddaughter and I are snuggled up on the sofa, me with tea, and she with milk. Later my eldest daughter is coming with my two year old grandson and the baby, and we are all going to a puppet show. I haven’t anything planned for NYE, apart from a box set of French films and some nice wine. I hope all those with caring responsibilities and health worries have a peaceful evening and a better year ahead.

Good morning all from Manchester. Looks dry so far but not quite light. Breakfast at a lovely garden centre this morning with Dil and gs2. Supposed to be exchanging a gift but the sale is in full swing too! Quiet night in, nice meal, bottle of wine and hope to find some good films to watch on Netflix. Wishing everyone a good New Year. Hope it's a happy, healthy one for all.

Good morning from a fair NE, hope you are all in good spirits for this New Year’s Eve. Going for coffee with friends then back home to spend a quiet new year with hubby then he’ll probably fall asleep after a couple of drinks! All over and soon back to work but it’s just that time of year again isn’t it? Good luck to all who read and post may it be a good one for you.

Urmstongran Tue 31-Dec-19 08:29:15

Good morning everyone from a dry and very mild South Manchester. I shall prep something this morning for later, then this afternoon we are picking my father up and going over to our daughter and son in law’s house for a couple of hours all together. Doubtless we will plat games with the smalls.

Home at tea time with dad so that he can eat with us,, before taking him home and a quiet night in for us two.

I’d like to wish everybody who posts on here a very happy and healthy 2020. x

Good morning from a feeling good St.Andrews ! Washing machine is birling , eggs are being consumed ( LCHF started 3 days ago!) I feel strangely excited with a New Year . I like numbers - 2020 feels 'safe' ?
Best happy wishes to everyone x

Good morning from east London, lightening up outside but I think the blue skies have gone. We played tennis outside yesterday to take advantage of the sun, give the old vit. D a boost. Tonight, for the first time in many years, we are going out to an event with lots of loud music and dancing; I think it’s a reaction to the disruption of the last few months. Also, it’s DD’s due date and while we all know babies don’t come time (!), I think a bit of tempting fate is in order. Perhaps there’s a thread thought in ‘what did you used to do to see the New Year in’. (Hang around Morpeth clock tower then think about the 4 mile walk). I hope the new year brings you all wish for.

NannyJan53 Tue 31-Dec-19 08:09:21

Good Morning from a dry but still dark Black Country.

Had a lovely long walk with the Walking for Health group yesterday. It was a cloudless, sunny day.

Will probably go on a walk on the Clent Hills today if the weather is the same.

Tonight we are off to a local pub to see in the new year. There is live music and curry! Hopefully it will be good. It is only a 10 minute walk from us.

Wishing everyone a Happy and healthy New Year. Special thoughts to gilly dragonfly Marydoll* and lins (Hope I haven't missed anyone out)

GrannyGravy13 Tue 31-Dec-19 08:04:11

Good New Years Eve morning Mick and all ?

It’s still dark in SE Essex, no idea what the weather is doing??

I shall be busy doing nothing today, we are not going out this evening and at the moment we are GC free, but that could change.

I wish you a happy and healthy 2020, don’t forget to wish as sometimes wishes come true ???

Beechnut Tue 31-Dec-19 08:01:02

Good Morning everyone from a dry Severnside.

A day of pottering for me and no plans to do anything for tonight.

Who knows when we start a new year what will be in store for us. While my past year has been an emotional one, that is nothing to the things some of you have endured. So as we leave this day and year and go on to the next I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year ???

TheReadingRoom Tue 31-Dec-19 08:00:55

Good morning one and all from a very dark Mid Wales.
Nothing planned for today apart from a short walk/exercise for my new hip followed by a quiet evening at home. Just hope neighbours don't go mad with the fireworks at midnight but I'll probably be asleep by then!

Nannytopsy Tue 31-Dec-19 08:00:55

Good morning Mick and his followers. Just woken to a clear sky and a gentle sunrise in Suffolk. We are going to take ourselves to the coast ( perhaps Snape?) today then come home to a nice meal, a good bottle of wine and Jools Holland.
A very happy and healthy New Year to you all!

Mommawolf Tue 31-Dec-19 07:43:17

Good morning all its dark and very misty in the wilds of norfolk. Have come back to bed with a cuppa as DH has only just got in from early hours call out to sick dog and is fast asleep, don't want to disturb him. A day of food shopping ahead then a quiet evening. Wishing you all a very happy new year with lots of improvements for those who are unwell.

Sar53 Tue 31-Dec-19 07:41:42

Good morning everyone from a still dark Essex by the sea. DH has a very painful foot again and is going to try and get a doctor's appointment this morning. Nothing planned for today but may go out for a drink early this evening.
I'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and I hope that all those with illness or sadness have a better 2020.

Resurgam123 Tue 31-Dec-19 07:41:01

Good Morning All. It is dark and cold here in Cheshire.
I really don't like new year.
But have a good one if you can.

Pantglas2 Tue 31-Dec-19 07:38:55

Good morning all from a dry and dark north Wales and I hope it stays that way as I’m meeting a friend for lunch in Conwy and a couple of drinks- that’s our New Years Eve celebrations now that we’re older! As she pointed out, 45 years ago we were planning an all nighter!

I do hope everyone unhappy or unwell feels better and those of us who’ve escaped the various lurgies continue to do so!
