Floradora9 Sorry you are really not looking forward to Christmas. Yes, memories can be very painful. I am sure you are not on your own feeling like this.
I would like a nice envelope containing tickets for a trip to New York on the QM 2 to go and see our daughter, son-in-law and baby grandson who we miss so much.
I've been hankering after one of those toy trains that runs round and round on a circular track under the tree, but my DH thinks they are naff and a waste of money. So next time he wastes money on something naff, I know what to do...
Patrick Grant from the Great British Sewing Bee , holding a brand new sewing machine would be nice please Santa, I have been good all year, (( well most of the time) !!
I have never had a ‘good’ handbag usually cheapish ones from a market stall. I spotted a Radley one a few weeks ago that I liked. Fingers crossed. The best thing to find though would be all the family lined up for a photo’. We will see them all over Christmas but may have to join photos together .
I wrapped some small things (mostly charity shops or tombola wins) for the family we will share the day with. The DGC are already speculating what might be inside. They look much better wrapped!! I'm happy to get anything and I love to see all the happy faces.
No Christmas tree so nothing under it. DH said at the weekend he needed to do some Christmas shopping. I replied "please don't because I have more than enough of everything". But he says he wants to show his appreciation. Bless him because it has been him looking after me all this year. Perhaps a paper promising better health next year would be nice to find. Alas no one can provide that.
