Good morning all from a perishing cold North Leicestershire. The wind was blowing a hooley during the night.

Busy day here today. We are delivering to DD3 in near Market Harborough, having fish and chips in the park with DS1 and then delivering his food and lastly doing a doorstep delivery to DS2. I must also nip next door with 2 chocolate elves for the lovely little boys.

Then a big sit down!!

Have the best day possible everyone.

Good morning to you Lucretzia. Lovely to have you join us! Newbies are always welcome here.

We do like to know where you’re posting from (you too Kim19) and what the weather is like. And most importantly, the value of your house.

Good morning from Malta where the weather is good. Yesterday turned out to be so sunny that DD3 and I went for a coffee and actually felt too hot sitting in the sun.

Nothing on the cards today apart from the hairdresser. I’ve no cooking to do as I shall be going to DD3 tomorrow.

Wishing you all a good day.???

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a dark but seemingly mild South Manchester. The train from Oxford Road into Liverpool Lime Street has just stopped at the station across the road. It was all lit up in the dark but very few passengers aboard and only one person alighted here at Urmston.

What a good idea Mick about putting the special days in brackets - it will help us all remember the significant days better!

I had the best day health wise yesterday in over a month and am hoping I’m turning a corner from what seems to have been a nasty viral infection. No earache nor one sided throat pain and just somehow better in myself. More cheerful. I’m hoping normal service has been resumed. That said, I’m aware we have t heard from GrandmaFrench for a few days and hope all is okay over there?

A gentle day. All shopping done no need to go into a supermarket now until around February haha! A walk in the park later then over to see my stepfather. He received delivery a bottle of malt from his 95y old brother last weekend and I’ve promised to have a wee dram with him this afternoon. I’d best sip it, I’ve not had a drink in five weeks since before I left Spain when I started to feel unwell.

Hope Christmas Eve is kind to us all whether we have plans or none. Keep safe everyone that’s the main thing. x

Good morning to you lovely people.

I'm not a poster on this thread but thought I'd make Christmas Eve the day I do!

Have as good a Christmas as possible

Love and peace to all. X

Morning Michael! Haven't even hazarded a look out of the window yet. Much too cozy/lazy here. Sounds peaceful so that's a good start. I'm going to fill my day with last minute bits and pieces. Deliver cards to neighbours, little bits of wrapping for GC, start packing the car and then ease into the 'eve' gently with probably a bit of telly and undoubtedly much reminiscing. Hope you enjoy whatever you do. That's my plan.

Good morning from a cold windy E Kent.
Perhaps the poor lorry drivers will be able to escape from double incarceration today/soon.
I’m showing you my only concession to Christmas decs. No pale leaves as it was too wet to go int the garden yesterday.
Today, the last bits and pieces. Above all, I must stay cheerful - feeling low again.
We sent DD and family an Italian hamper. After chasing, it was due on 29th! Thankfully it arrived last night. A very excited DD called to thank us. I had said that the should open it ASAP to spread Christmas a bit.
Have a happy, fun day, even if little is done stay safe. X

Good morning to you all from a peaceful but chillier (than of late) Torbay.

Here we are on that day of anticipation for children of all ages. I can still remember that excitement from 60 years ago!

A few last minute items are needed from local shops, including fruit and veg from a recently opened greengrocers, which has beautifully fresh produce. It’s easy to support a small business which sells good products. Yes, it costs a little more but it’s less hassle than driving to a busy supermarket and saves on fuel.

A photo of the first Christmas Eve when Mary and Joseph journeyed to Bethlehem. May peace and happiness be yours this holy night.

Good Morning Everyone,
Its dark , but and looking a cold day out there this morning , here in Brackley .
With restrictions facing me in the last week of 2020 , it will be an interesting ending to as well.
Anyway , as to the good morning , I have changed it slightly over next few days , by putting the actually day of the week first ,and then in brackets the respective day as you see.
I will have quiet day today ,and maybe get a Chinese takeaway curry later .
Take Care ,
Mick
