If you had one who paid for your wedding ?
Relentlessly negative pessimism from OH
What is our role as older people?

Good morning everyone from Essex by the sea. A very early start today, taking OH into hospital for his second hip revision, he has to be there by 7. I need to do some shopping then home to wait for the phone call to say everything went well.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning Mick. Supposed to be a nice day here in Northampton.
Yoga, followed by coffee this morning. Then a bit of shopping. Nothing exciting!
Put Christmas tree up yesterday, looks quite nice, but needs some tinsel. Glad I got a pre-lit tree. Realised that DS hadn't picked up/found the bag of tinsel from the loft when he got the decorations down for me on Saturday. I hadn't noticed either. Will finish decorating sitting room this afternoon.
Hope it's a good day for all.
Morning Mick, morning All. Dark, dry and chilly in our corner of Somerset. Up early today, last day of visitors, we’re all off to an NT on their route home and it seems a decent breakfast will be needed for fortification. Then I have no desire to see the kitchen for a week, well I can try. Hope all goes well for your husband sar and Monday is kind to everyone.
Good Morning Mick, Sar53, Blue and everyone.
It's quite a nice morning here on the south coast. Dry and calm and I can see some twinkling stars. We are forecast sunshine later too. That will do for me!
I got the decorations out yesterday but haven't put any up as Fred the painter is coming again to do the final lot of painting. It will be the doors in the hall (he's finished the upstairs ones), the balustrade and edges of the steps and any touching up. He is a nice chap but it is a bit inhibiting having a stranger in the centre of the house so I will be happy when it's all done!
Hope the day is a good one for us all.
Morning corner!
Morning everyone.
Too dark to see the weather in Kent but it's not wet or windy.
Bibs and bobs day here.
Hope all goes well for your DH Sar
Morning Mick and All.
Dark and cold in South Bucks.
Going to Keep Fit, first time in about a month. I hate getting up so early in the dark months I’m fine in the lighter months.
I too Gaga feel a bit uncomfortable having workmen in the house, so I usually set them up with tea and biscuits and go out.
Good morning, Michael and all GNs. It is barely light but looks fairly clear outside. I like to see the dawn creep up the sky. I have to take my glasses to be repaired this morning and then later we have the school run. Good luck to your DH, Sar. Have a good day, folks.
Good morning all x
No idea what the weather is like in SE Essex as I have not opened the curtains, cannot hear rain or wind though.
Mr GG has early fasting blood tes, then off to Sainsbury’s. Afterward I shall go to the gym, and I really must crack on with gift wrapping.
Morning Annie x
Wishing you all a peaceful day ?????
Good Morning all from a chilly Black Country. Took ages for me to get in here!
Had a lovely family meal yesterday for DD's impending 40th birthday. Not often all the family get together, so 14 of us there.
Walking for Health long walk this morning, then our Burglar alarm is being serviced this afternoon, so will have to wait in.
Have a good day everyone.
Morning all!
It's not raining in North Leicestershire but that is about I know!
School run today instead of Wednesday so I shall be confused for the rest of the week.
Best wishes to your DH, sar!
Morning all!
Good morning all. There has been a wee touch of frost, a crisp morning here in Glasgow.
A day of lots of wee, mundane jobs. I'm also off to the butchers to order our turkey
and DS's. I knew he was waiting for me to offer! I was hoping HE would offer. 
For the first time in 42 years, DH and I didn't fall out, whilst putting up the Christmas trees. There is hope for us yet! 
Best wishes for your DH, Sar. and anyone else who is poorly.
Kate, don't you be overdoing it at keep fit.! 
Happy Monday everyone.
Good morning everyone x
Good morning from a cold and frosty NE.
Tree decorating today and greenery up the staircase.
Two lots of birthday gifts to wrap.
First half of the week is always quieter so I must get on with household jobs.
Good Morning all , I am still in bed . Seems cold out there . Out today to search for bread flour , I like brown but local store just has white . We put fairy lights on the Acer tree in the garden yesterday they looked pretty
Good morning all. After a last ditch effort I found the lost Christmas tree lights in the shed, so it saved me a shopping trip yesterday. Still have to shop this morning though, but fortunately its dry and bright, if a bit cold. Have a good Monday everyone.
Good morning from a bright but slightly overcast Colchester.
Up late after a lovely family day yesterday.
Walking Netball this morning followed by our Christmas lunch. My laughing bone will be worn out.
I must seek out some tinsel for my hair as dressing up is obligatory.
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Hope everyone has a good day x
Good morning from a cloudy Aberdeenshire. Now that I have completed all the baking, I shall clean out the store cupboard. God knows what's at the back. Lord Lucan? Have a good day all.
Good Morning to everyone, I'm very late today but I had problems accessing 'Gransnet' - server problems I believe. Never mind I'm here now. It's bright and frosty here in Fife today. Looking forward to a lovely lunch with a friend of mine instead of exchanging Christmas presents. Off to the big city! Good to hear everyone seems to be getting into the Christmas spirit. Hope everyone has a good day.
Good morning from the south east, it looks to be a fairly cloudy but a clear day, good for us as we are departing to Harrogate for a few days.
Had a succession of unannounced visitors yesterday, so we didn't get the Christmas tree up, but shouldn't complain as I was given early birthday cards and presents from my guest and was particularly pleased with beautifully illustrated one from gc and their present, a lovely photo in a frame of them
However, behind with everything today, the Christmas tree will have to wait until our return at the end of the week. Hope to get off late morning.
Have a good day everyone.
Good Evening Mick and Everyone; We've had a beautiful day; 24C, no wind, but unfortunately no rain. One of our granddaughters (18) from Brisbane and her girl-friend have just landed in London for a 12 day holiday before moving on to their school's host family in Germany. Naturally it was raining when Etihad landed at Heathrow.
Now we're running a "book" on how many days of the 12 are wet!
The favourite is 12; 0 and 1 have been scratched! We'll take the girls track report over any prof. weather bureau!
Well it’s not raining todayrufus and I am sure the girls will enjoy Christmas in germany, especially the lovely Christmas markets with mostly home made things to sell. Not to be missed.
